HEIGHT?

We have a 54 F-100 with a dropped straight axle. We would like to swap out the drop axle for a MII suspension. We really do not want to raise the front of the truck with the swap. Currently the front wheel opening is 25-inches front the ground to the lower lip.
So does anyone know the fender lip height with the MII setup?
Thanks,
MrBlue54

If you each have different wheel/tire diameters the measurement will not be equal. The wheel diameter will effect the measurement from the ground.

Measure from the center of the wheel (not the ground) so that the wheel diameter has no effect.
