Does anyone have an approximate lift amount using Chevy 63" rears under the frame rails?

Perhaps I should expound a bit. I was originally going to lift my truck approximately 4” and trim to fit 37s. I was going to accomplish this by doing a swap to 63s with new hangers but still mounted outboard. I had a new set of 40” Trepadores fall into my lap at a price I couldn’t pass up so now I need to lift my truck a few more inches. I prefer minimal lift and trimming to keep my rig low. My plan for the front is coil overs with either a three link or radius arm set up.

Never mind, found the answer on the mother ship.

So what is tha amount of lift the 63s will give you under the frame?

Approximately 10.5” spring over axle. I got exactly 3.5” spring under with a 14 bolt axle.

Not to chime in late but I am going to.
There are three versions of the 63’s (actually 64’s but who cares)
There is the 3-1 pack (three plus the overload)
4-1 and 5-1.
They will all give different lift height.
I ran the 3-1 with the overload spring removed for 10 years, it matched your basic SOA very well.
They started sagging and warping about 6 years in, so the overload went back in.
They are now toast, warped to BEEP now so I have new ones going in.
Nothing wrong with getting 10 years out of a spring but I highly doubt someone got 10.5” out of a 63” spring swap unless they are not counting a bigger tire size.

This is on the tires supporting its own weight. SUA with 64" 3 leaf+overload springs w/ the overload removed and a short add-a-leaf installed. After bouncing on the rear to settle the suspension some it measures 6" of lift It should settle some with use. Shackles are 6".
