Rear Springs

I need to replace a couple of the leafs in the rear pack on my 79 Bronco, and wanted to know if anyone knew what the eye to center pin length was. The truck seems to be a little taller than stock, but I have nothing to messure it off of to compare it with.

thanks..

It should only have 5 springs in the pack, and the pin in the middle needs to be long!, b/c when you take out or add leafs you have to undo that bolt and the springs are no longer pressed together. If you get a add a leaf kit, it'll come with a long center bolt and tell you to cut off the extra after it is tightened up, but it isn't completly nessecary to cut the extra off(just for a cleaner look).

Thanks, but does anyone know the distance from the eye bolt on the main leaf, to the center bolt for the spring. Unfortunately, I'm not close enough to my truck, to messure this myself, but might have a good deal on 2 new sets of leafs.

Thanks
