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!!

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

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.
