Need a rear axle measurement B4 5pm

I need the length of the rear axle 'pad' for a coil spring rear end housing. I'm making a set of lowering blocks this evening & can't find my measurements. I'm going to cut the ends @ a slight angle so the length of the pad is critical to avoid hitting the air bags.

I really don't want to do the work twice or have to drive 1hr + just to measure my truck in the driveway.

Can anyone help w/this?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks! That's the number I remember but wasn't 100% sure.
