ride height help ?

Could I get a few of you to get me a couple measurement?
I am looking for the Front SHOCK installed height. Centerline of mount bolt to Centerline of mount bolt.
In the REAR I am going to run a 5" rear drop spring. So, I am looking for a 5" drop SPRING installed height.

I am assembling a 67-72 shortbox truck frame and would like to mock things up at ride height. I'm going with a 4-1/2"-Front & 5"-Rear drop.
Running a 4-1/2" front total drop by using a 2" drop spring and a 2-1/2" spindle. But anyone with a aftermarket (not cut) 2" drop spring will work. Looking for the SHOCK installed height. Centerline of mount bolt to Centerline of mount bolt.
Then in the REAR I am going to run a 5" rear drop spring. So, I am looking for a 5" drop SPRING installed height.

Could a few of you get me these measurements? Looking for this measurement while your truck is sitting on the ground at everyday ride height.

Also...If any of you have 6" rear spring, feel free to let me know that measurement. Just let me know what rear drop spring you have.

Front Shock Installed Height= ??
Rear Spring Installed Height= ??

Thank you
