How long is the sheet metal behind the rear wheel to the bumper? What is the distance from the end of the frame forward to the rear of the leaf spring mount?

If you have not found answers, I can measure the sheet metal, but my truck has coil springs so I cannot answer that question.

I made a couple measurements but not sure if where I measured is what you want. I measured sheet metal using the lower fender crease as my reference point....25.75 inches. I measured end of frame using side of frame to flange of leaf spring mount...4.5 inches.

Thanks that will work comparing to s long box and suburban. Thinking of modifying the wheel on my suburban project so it will tow better
