Stock Ride Height - 86 Suburban 4wd

[86Burban]

Does anyone know the stock ride height for an 86 Suburban 4wd and how best to measure? I have the apparently common read end sag but am not sure truly how bad it is. I need to put new shocks on but assume if the leafs are sagging too far I will just wear out the new rear shocks too fast.

Thanks, e

Does anyone have the same vehicle still stock (not lifted with 15" wheels and orginal tire size) that could measure their ground to wheelwell distance in the back?

These are mesurements at the rear bumper trim and right rear wheel wll trim, stock suspension, but 31" rubber, badly worn rubber I might add.....

Would you possibly do me a favor and lef me know the measurements from the center of the hubs to bottom of wheel well on both front and back? I have 23" front/20" back (give/take 1/8" inch).

Thank you!

I had 22 1/8 front, 20 1/8 rear.

I installed spring over shocks and gained an inch in rear ride height, so I am now sitting at 22 1/8 front, 21 1/8 rear. I still want at least another inch in the back.
