Rears also have F350 springs, but the full pack, with the standard 2" block and an additional 1" block on top of that. I think the front is only a partial pack (2 leafs only). This is from memory.

Please measure from center of hub to bottom lip of fender both front and rear. That will give us EXACT lift over stock.... NO MORE guessing.
If in fact your 4" rear over stock, than get excursion plus4" lift shocks for rear not super duty.
If in fact your 2" front over stock order stock height superduty.

I measured from the top of the tire (previous set) to the top of the wheel well/fender when I arrived at my buddy's and then again after installing the new springs and blocks. The same day. +4" rear, +2" front.
But I don't mind measuring again, to be absolutely sure. It's always possible other work was done before I got her, but it all looked stock (except for Moog front and different wheels) and was told as much.

When you read through that thread, pic out the DIESEL's that think they have stock suspension. The diesels are heavier that the gassers, so that gives you a better average to help to determine stock height. I hope this helps you determine your height over stock, I found it to be a great tool

Yep, from the ground. Dark, one handed, camera, etc. Made sure camera was directly squared up with the measuring point. It has a tendency to distort away from center.
Front Lip: 39 1/2"
Front Hub: 16 3/4"
Front Hub to Lip: 22 3/4"
Rear Lip: 41 1/2"
Rear Hub: 16 1/2"
Rear Hub to Lip: 25"
That's what you wanted, right
Front Lip: 39 1/2"
Front Hub: 16 3/4"
Front Hub to Lip: 22 3/4"
Rear Lip: 41 1/2"
Rear Hub: 16 1/2"
Rear Hub to Lip: 25"

Rancho shock specs
A rear f350 "0" lift is 18.5 x 30.5
A rear Ex "0" lift is 17 x 28
A rear EX "4" lift is 19.5 x 32
I would remove the shocks ( in case yours are to short and limiting travel ) and at least measure the extended length. Get that correct and you can be pretty confident Rancho has the correct compressed lengths figure out.

Sorry, missed this one while finding and snapshot the webpages above...
You're saying remove the shocks and hang the wheels and measure?
I'm sort of hoping we can figure it out from the measurements a few posts down. I don't plan any crawling or significant off-roading with major articulation. That's what my 4Runner is for
