I bought a complete hacked up rust bucket a few years ago. I have slowly collected parts.

Here is my question, I would like to replace the rusted and crusty suspension parts.

A PO put a lift kit on it at some point, SBC350, TH400. I am trying to figure out the lift so I can replace in kind since I like the height. After some internet research on measuring points, it stated to measure from the rear center axle to the under side of the stock fender, should be 15 to 16" as stock. Mine is 22", if correct, that is a 6" lift which does not sound correct.

Can anyone point me in a direction to figure this out?

Thanks DM3
 
Do the springs sit on top the axle or do they go under the axle? Maybe some pics would help. Are the shackles in the stk location?
