Looking into getting a new set of rear leafs for my 5.7 Hemi swap and wanted to see if I could get some extra information regarding spring heights and selection. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take some measurements so I could determine the appropriate springs to pick. My car weighs right arond 3400 lbs with me in it with just under 1400 lbs on the rear end. The measurement from the rear axle centerline to the bottom of the fender lip is right around 10 inches at the moment, and I think I'd like to keep it there if not bump it up just a bit. I was looking into getting some springs from ESPO, but had the infamous quesiton of standard height or +1".

Can some people with different springs post their car weights and axle to fender lip measurements? I'd like to get an idea what to expect from the different options.
