Coil Cup height (frustrated)

I've been picking at this issue for a few months trying to figure out how to level my bronco with extended radius arms. I currently have 3.5" coil and leaf springs along with wild horses extended radius arms from PO.

The whole rear of the bronco noticeably leans, front to rear. So here are the measurements I have: Axle housing to frame 14", axle housing to coil cup about 4.5"

I'm starting to think that I need to run stock coils to level out.

What is the standard measurement from axle housing to coil cups? Any ideas?

Thanks!

its common for 3.5 front and rear springs to cause the rear to sit lower than the front. especailly if your running a hard top rear seat and other weight in the rear. Some venders suggest using 1in taller springs in the rear than the front to get a level stance. now if your running no top then maybe your rear springs are not 3.5in.

Don't know for sure, but it looks like you have some kind of lift block under your coil cup. If I remember correctly the factory oil cup sits very close to the radius arm cap bolts. Yours looks about 1" higher.

In that pic it clearly shows the cup higher than a stock application giving you some more lift. You either need to drop down in coil size or swap those arms out with some stock ones that i just happen to have. :)

Thanks, now that I look at it, I need to drop down to 2.5" springs as a min. Dan, I'll keep you in mind if I can't get this to work. I bought a set of 16" wheels so I need the radius arms to fit.
