Flareside box height

Looking for some help please with regards to the box height on a 77 F100 2wd Shortbox. After putting the box on the frame it looks to me as though the box is sitting a little high. From ground to the top of the box behind the cab measures 48.750", the rear measures 52". From the top of the wheel to the edge of the fender is 9".

I've checked the measurements and arc on the springs, these match what I've been reading on line.
Anyone have specs on this from a body book maybe? Size of wood spacers between the box and frame? Measurements off of your truck?

Thanks for any help. This is the last thing I need to resolve before putting the truck on the road.


Seems like too much open wheel well space.
