Ride height

I currently have a MII front cross member with straight spindles, 8.8 Explorer rear axle mounted over the rear leaf sprngs giving me 7.5" to bottom of front rail and 15" to bottom back frame rail.
That said I am in the process of returning to stock suspension to get the truck back to stock height.
