Clearence?

Didn't know how to title this thread but I am in need of a couple measurements.
I want to figure out how much if any lift my truck has. I need a stock measurement from hub/axle to fender lip or bottom of dent, I would like front and rear if it's not to much to ask.
My truck is a 79 f250 4x4 trailer special with D60's, it's pouring outside or I would post up the numbers I have. Thanx in advance!!

Thanks Montana but dont highboys have a taller stance than the 78-9's? The rain died down enough for me to measure and the front is 23 1/2" and the rear is 24 1/2" any ideas?

That's correct, they sit roughly 2-3" taller.

So do you think I am still stock? I'm running 35" BFG's on 16.5 wagons with no issue

Sounds pretty stock to me. Look at you springs and see if they look flat or somewhat negative arched. I believe they usually only had like 2 ply if I'm right?

If that's the case, I must have an add a leaf... I have a very slight positive arch with 3 leaves in the front and 5 in the rear.
