Height measurement

Height measurement
Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but I'm confused. I have a stock 94 p/up and was wondering if the measurements from top of the rim to fender is supposed to be the same all around the entire truck. The truck seems to be sitting level, but the measurements are all different. The front sides are about a 1/2 " off, while the rear measurements are way less than the front ones. Are the springs bad in the back, or is the rim/fender measurement supposed to be way different in the rear than in the front. Thanks for the help.

The rear fenders aren't cut as high as the fronts. If they're 1" or more different than your fonts, your springs are pretty sagged.
Neither of my trucks sits perfectly level, but on my '94 the fronts are pretty damn close.
A full or empty gas tank can even cause them to lean a bit.

OK so I've been searching, and the only thing I get is lift forums in my searches. My rim to fender height for the rear is at about 12.5". Is this sagging? If so, I was looking to get a leaf spring pack with a little lift. Would 2" of lift from a downey or OME springs be way higher in the back than in the front with a 1.5 bj lift w/o cranking the t bar? Or will it be unnoticable. Also, would the 2" lift springs be alot stiffer opposed to stock springs? Just looking to level out the back with the BJ spacers up front. Should I buy new stock level springs and use shackles, or buy a new lifted pack. Thanks for the help.

13.5" - 14" is near stock according to this page:

And to check for level, measure up from the ground to the frame at two points along the flat section. Then adjust any height difference for the wheel base to get the front-rear difference. So if you measure say 1/2" difference at 2 points 51" apart, then double that to get 1" difference at the 102" wheel base.
