Installed Height Of A 4" Rear Drop Spring

Just like the title says, I'm looking for the installed height in a shortbed. I currently have 70-72 Monte Carlo rear springs, and they gave it some drop, but I'm not sure how much, and I need a little more. What I'd like is the height from the underside of the frame to the top of the trailing arm with the vehicle sitting on the tires with a 4" drop spring. Any help would be appreciated.

i am also curious. But if I could get the measurement to the top of the wheel well that would be great. Thanks
