Default Leaf spring swap complete, now onto the torsion bars

On my quest to get back to stock ride height I installed new leaf springs+ shackles (p/o removed leafs). As expected the rear raised up. Judging by how low the front is I'm assuming p/o dropped it by turning the torsion bars. I am going to crank them up tomm but was wondering approximately what is the stock height in the front (from top of tire to bottom of fender)? Idk about using the rear as a reference b/c it hasn't settled yet (although I'm sure it will probably only settle 1/2"?).

Yeah, get a load of dirt in the back and drive that around for a day or two to break in those new springs... then level out your yard with it :-)

The service manual should give you specs and measure points on the front end height as part of alignment. I you go to a good alignment person, they will set the height properly for you.
