All will be level when I do the rear. 
Nose dive when breaking is gone. Omg omg omg. I'm sure the new shocks play a factor in that, but wooo!
I feel like I'm sharing too much y'all.... Lol

Thank you. Just took it for a spin. Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch what a difference. I can't wait to do the C's on the back!
Did I take measurements? You bet I did! These measurements are from the ground to the fender.
Before:
Front Left: 38 1/4"
Front Right: 38 3/4"
After:
Front Left: 41 1/8"
Front Right: 41 1/2"

I run "modded" ATS X code replacements in the front. I had Junior over arch one add-a-leaf for me, which puts me at 27.5" in the front.
I have not yet had time to mod my ATS C_XL replacements in the rear, but right now it measures 26.75".

The best way to measure is from center of the wheel hub to fender. That takes out and wheel and tire size differences from rig to rig.

I'll re measure with that method.

I found this thread when I first started looking for my springs. I was able to verify the "X code" part number on mine with this list. Hopefully it helps.

I also got lucky and randomly found a set of V/B codes on craigslist. The owner didn't know what he had. I had to get him to send me pics of the stamped numbers, and figure out what they were. I paid $170 for both sets.
Oh and I paid someone to do the installation of the springs (including the mod B part) and the MBRP exhaust. It was a LOT easier that way.

The codes are not listed on the springs themselves. There are part numbers stamped into the steel from which you can sometimes decode into spring codes by googling or asking in here. Of course, if you manage to get them off the donor vehicle, you can just look at the sticker on the door jamb but often we aren't that lucky.

I had somebody do the X codes up front, I don't have breaker bars, air, floor lift, jack stands, and on and on. I normally use the craft shop on the military base where we live, but didn't have the time to do it myself. I had a local shop do the front leaf springs, sway bar ends, tie rod ends, pitman arm, and an alignment when done. They charged $719 for 6.5 hours labor (remove and install), shop materials, and the alignment when done.
