What's this meas. on stock 88 ranger 4x4?

[EdgeKrusher4x4]

Hey guys I'm looking for the stock height measurement on a 87-88 ranger from the top of the rear axle tube to the top of the frame right above it.

Im getting rid of a poorly designed coil over rear suspension and going back to leaf springs, but my kit was all fabbed from Early Bronco stuff so I have no real reference point for how to make it ride stock height again except this. Thanks!

If this helps, my 89 had 3 to 3.5 inches between the bump stop extensions on the factory blocks and the bottom of the rubber bump stop itself.

Thanks but I don't have bump stops anymore. A guy on another forum says 10-12", does that sound right?

I measured mine, it was 11 - 11 1/2 inches, and i have a 2 inch block under everything. So i would say 9- 9 1/2 is where it should be.

Tanbuddy, thank you very much.
