Front Lift Spring question
Been a long time since ive been on this site, but I have searched for hours on here and google trying to find specs on stock ride height of my truck so I can figure out how much lift my truck has. Its a 99 F250 Superduty ext. cab short bed with a 7.3 ive had it almost 3 years now and most of the time ive owned it the front passenger side has been sagging a bit everytime ive looked I couldn't find anything obvious and figured the spring is old and worn out. well over this winter the sagging got alot worse and now I see it has a broken leaf and the back end of it is completely gone. The lift looks like its been on the truck a very long time. It definitely has lift springs on the front and looks like it just has 1 inch aluminum blocks under the rear stock blocks, doesn't look like it has an add a leaf in the rear but I could be wrong. it has 315/75-16 tires on it also. I measured the distance from the top of front axle to bottom of frame at 12 inches on the drivers side since the passenger side is considerably lower. I cant find any information on what the front axle to frame distance is stock. If anyone can help me out that would be great, i'd hate to buy the wrong springs.

2.5 inch Springs should be roughly 8 inches like I have, if it's more than you have 4" Springs or possible 6" Springs if there's a huge gap

I have procomp 22210 diesel lift springs on my 5.4 and love them. I suggest looking at 22410 procomp 4" front lift Springs.
that's what I'm buying for my 4" lift you can get them on ebay from us sellers with free shipping for around 130-140 a piece
