Stock riide height

Does anyone know what the front and rear stock ride height is supposed to be on a 2000 Ex with the v10, 4wd? I have the 2000 ford manuals, which tell you how and where to measure but they do not include a listing of what the measurements should be!
I suspect my springs are sagging as it sits pretty close to the bump stops and they are obviously hitting more and more when I drive.
I only have 55k on it and I don't tow, but I guess the age is starting to effect the springs.
Thanks.

I can't speak about the front end, but a stock 4WD V10 will measure about 24" from the center of the rear hub to the fenderwell lip.

I measured mine the other day to settle with my brother who threw 3" lift and 35's on his f150, he was 42 1/2". My 2002 7.3 Ex with 265/75/16 measured from the center of the wheel well to the ground 38 1/2"

So I have an '02 Ex Limited 4X4 7.3 PSD, all stock 65K miles---mine measures 37 1/2 front, 39 1/2 rear. I do have '04 King Ranch wheels with 285/65 18s AT2s. Does that sound right...I thought stock it would higher in the front??

Measuring to the center of the hubs takes out all the doubts and miscalculations in regards to tire diameters.

Mine is very close to the same with my '02 7.3....I guess we're good.
