Couldn't honestly tell you. The rear 63" we're from a 2500 truck. I didn't gain but maybe 1/2" over what my stock height was.

The fronts ended up being a hybrid of the original 1963 and the 1974 1/2t rear leaf packs and again MAYBE 1/2" over what the original factory height of the truck was.

Lots of trial and error. Just gotta try it I guess.
