Default Wheel well height of 1500 w/ 4" lift and 35's

Can someone please tell me the heights (front and back) of a Ram 1500 with a 4" lift and 35" tires? I've got a leveling kit right now and 35's but I'm wondering how much more the 4" would give me.
Thanks!

Guess I wasn't clear, I'm wondering what the difference in height would be if I had a 4" lift instead of the leveling kit I have. My truck is not sitting at stock height right now.
Thanks!

I have a 4" Rancho suspension lift and 35" Cepek FCIIs which actually measure at 34 1/4". It's raining buckets right now, but if you can wait till tomorrow, I'll go outside and measure it for ya...

The level adds more than 2", I believe it was even you who posted the diagram of how the 2" block raises more than 2 inches. The level spacer up front should raise somewhere between 2.5 to 3 inches.

Then how come the leveling kit I have in the mail is sposed to raise more than 2" in the front? I'm confused, and no I'm not trying to undermine you and be a smartass I'm genuinely lost after that reply.

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Thanks so much!

I don't know much but I'm thinking that simply adding 2" over an unknown brand leveling kit is much too subjective. I've seen tons of half tons on 35's and leveling kits that sit at different heights than me.
Thanks!
