I need a measurement

I need measurements from the ground to the highest point on the frontwheel opening on trucks that have been dropped 3.5" in the front and are running 28" tires. I did a 3.5"/4" drop on my truck just over two months ago. I don't think the back actually came down 4" (the stock springs must have been sagging) and the front looks like it came down more than just 3.5". The tires in the before and after pics are the same height (28") if I remember my measurement right from October when I ordered the parts a 5" from drop should have put the top of the wheel opening right on top of the tire but with the 2.5" drop spindle and the 1" drop spring installed the top of the wheel opening is actually about 1" below the top of the tire and now I'm having rubbing issues when I hit potholes or bumps (the tires are 235/70R15). I'm just wondering how much drop I actually ended up with.
