Lift leafs

Hi everyone, I'm in need of a little help. If anyone has lift leaf springs on an obs 94-97 f350 I'm looking for the measurement from between the mounting holes to the mounting face on the leaf, thanks in advance!

Lot's of us have leafs, but that dimension is a little difficult to make accurately while still on the truck.

How about a measurement much easier to make which will give you more accurate feedback?

May I suggest the shock-mounting-bolt to shock-mounting-bolt dimension and also the height of the springs stack.

What are you looking for because that dimension doesn't do much for you without also knowing the spring rate and amount of weight on it when measured?

Here is a comparison of '96 vintage front leafs. The D50 springs are in the foreground, same year D60 are in the background.

Here's my problem, right now I'm running a custom shackle hanger (not an rsk) and arched up stock springs with an add a leaf. I would like new leafs that are two inches taller than what I am using but it is hard to tell what height my springs are currently. I was thinking that measurement on a truck would work best cause it would already have the weight on it.
