85 ride height

I recently picked up an 85 that has a body lift and 35's. i'd like to get rid of the body lift but was wondering if the truck had a suspension lift also. can any one tell me the stock axle to frame measurement for both the front and rear?

I'll see if I have time tomorrow. But my front springs are a little negative.

Wrong section. but it should be around 5 to 6in depending on if your saggin. if your front springs are bowed up any i'd bet it is. pics would be best.

Depends on the body lift height.

Take some pics of the truck and the suspension, body lift.

I see extended shackles, lift blocks under springs.... So suspension and body lifts it looks like to me.
