F250 stock rear suspension measurement?

Could someone, or a few people, with stock rear suspension F250s measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame?

My truck has just lift springs with no blocks and I want to know what size lift they are. I'm also considering switching back to stock springs because the lift springs ride like crap.

Mine measured between 9.5" and 10". That was top of axle tube to the flared out part on the bottom of the frame. You can barely see it in one of the pics above.

Thanks Torr. That should work. I just wanted to compare a few trucks.

I’ll go out and measure mine. Completely stock and low miles. Has silver Ford/motorcraft shocks. I wonder how old those are?
