5 Ton multifuel measurement?

[USMC6062]

I am debating if I want to use 5 ton springs in the front of my bobbed deuce on 5 tons project. I have the springs, hangers and all the hardware, and I know it would be the easiest way to bolt the frontend under my deuce, but I'm wondering about the ride height difference it would be to the deuce springs and hangers I plan on using in the rear. Also I imagine it would ride quite a bit stiffer than a deuce does. So what I'm wanting to know is, what is the distance from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the axle housing on a 5 ton with the multifuel motor? Thanks, Alex

Huh, I guess no one owns a 5 ton multifuel on here?

Can you measue it for me? I'm just trying to figure out how much the springs compress under the weight of a multifuel. I have access to a couple 5 tons with Cummins motors in them, but I would imagine they are much heavier.

5 ton frame to axle height

Mine's at 11" top of housing to bottom of rail. There's about 1500# sitting in the bed but it shouldn't make much difference.
