...since it would be the diameter of the axle plus the thickness of the spring pack.
If you have a 3" diameter axle tube, 2" thick spring packs, and 1" high spring mounting pads, the lift ends up being 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7
Thanks, I forgot about the spring perches.
It's actually the radius of the axle tube and one perch/pad. Radius plus perch plus spring pack which put me at 4 1/2" iirc plus since I needed tires so I upgraded to 16" for another 1/2 inch or so.
