factory ride height?
Looking at rearching my leaf springs and I was wondering if anyone knew what the factory height of the truck was (4x4) and where it's measured from. Need to figure this out so I can just send the springs to the shop instead of the whole truck.

I am planning to re-arch my front leaf springs at a local spring place. I know 2 other 1st gen owners that went this route. They both were very happy with the results. All you ask for is a 3" re-arch with a support leaf added in.
