No problem!! Yeah the stock F350's had 2 leafs in the front!!

My brother has a few hi-boys, if I get out to his place this weekend I'll get some measurements for you!!

I woudl expect yours would drop some (1/2"?) with some miles which would take it to 4" lift from your stock truck. I think the 1 ton trucks still had 2 leafs in the front liek the 3/4 ton?

Maybe mine is closer to 2" lift then.

I have never had a stock height truck before so thanks for providing the baseline.

(Now we need someone to post up their stock highboy measurement)

My buddy measured his truck last night.

It was 26 1/4"...the guy he bought it from said it was a 6" softride kit?

According to your measurements, it's actually a 4" kit.
