Thank You, now I have to remove a leaf or two for a smoother ride which will lower the rear which means I will have add a 2 inch block to even it out. Its slow going but atleast its coming along.

not sure about upper a-arm I can measure if you need me to, with the new springs the ride is very rough when I go over a speed bump ( even at 3 mph ) the front end jumps over it, every little bump feels like your hitting big rocks at 60 mph. If I cant find another option on lifting with a better ride ( I cant take it offroad like this ) I am thinking of lowering it. I like the look of Viles black one that he made into a short bed

check the following
distance between compression bump stop(dont think your on it because fo the heaverir springs you put in them)
distance between droop bump stop. could explain rough ride going over bumps
shocks do/can they travel farther then the shock mounts at full droop . ideally .5-1" farther
