You want to keep the main s10 leaf. Mess with other combinations to get your height. Bastard packs are cheap till you have to redo them a few times to get it right. Shackle relocation boxes can help get you lower with better angles.

going to be pretty hard to give you an accurate measurement...bastard packs are a guessing game to get to what tou want.

I took my pack in and out 3 times. Used the old cherokee main, s-10 main, s-10 second, and s-10 3rd. final lift was about 3 1/4"

hope that helps.
