Stock leaf spring height

I searched, and found lots of info about lift kits, and such, but couldn't find anything in regards to the actual height of a leaf pack. I currently have one old 4.5" RC leaf pack that I thought sagged - after hearing a few numbers I'm not too sure now. So I guess I have one question for sure, maybe two.

What is the height of a stock spring if you had the eyes sitting on the ground and the arc facing upwards (towards the sky). Like so:


Measurement from ground to the pin is what I am looking for.


Here is what my 4.5" lift pack is showing - don't feel safe assuming the pack is still a 4.5" lift pack anymore:

^ This may help.

Umm, measuring the pack like that is going to be rather misleading. Based on the rate of the springs, it may compress a bunch or not at all, so the height of the springs isn't a great measurement to go by.

Unless you are measuring the springs against other 4.5'' RC packs of the same rate.
