spring height

Anyone care to take a measurement for me? Im looking for the distance between the top of the front axle tube to the bottom of the frame on the passenger side. Also mention what spring setup you have so I can compare. I have some kind of pro comp lift and wondering how tall it is. I want to do the V code swap and wondering what that height is too along with waht is stock.

Thanks!

I just swapped a set of (barely) used F250 springs on my Ex 2 weeks ago. Now it is a little over 7" from spring to frame near bumpstop (from behind bumpstop on pass-side). Is that what yer looking for?

Why are you changing springs?

These springs raised front end a little over 2" from the 200k mile stockers. It was nose down in the front and now front is about 1/2" or so higher. It also fails to hit the bumpstops at every tiny bump in the road - how nice is that! Not to mention 100% improvement in stability - reduction in body roll. I'm prolly gonna throw a set of 1" or 1.5" taller blocks on the rear to level it out again. I could use a little more lift in the front for the tires I have, but not sure if it'll fit in the garage anymore now...

Thanks for the info! I just bought an EX that came with a lift. I want to lower it back down but before I do I wanted to find out how much it was lifted in the first place. Right now mine is at 10" from axle to frame.

Any idea what code spring you swapped in to the front? Also, what size tires you got?

Looks good!
