My New Front Springs

Well I got the new springs cleaned, painted and installed. The new "added leafs" worked out well, giving the same spring pack thickness as the block I'd used for tire clearance reasons.. The New Springs both spring the same, and are not tired yet, so the front bumper sets an inch higher. I still need to see about the drooping bumper, but that's the same frame end that was bent when I bought the truck, so I may not have got it completely straight.

What is your new spring "formula?" How much lift over stock? Thanks.

NOS from Vintage Power wagon. I added some additional short leafs for a 1" lift in the front. In the rear, I added 1/2" flocks to the rear springs. Other than that it's just tires, 39.5" SS, which is 2" of list.
