Measure the gap from the guard lip to the rear axle centreline.
I've got the factory specs.

if it has sagged, which no doubt it has, i don't really want to put factory height springs back in as the height front to rear is good (sill panel is level with ground front to rear. don't like the slightly forward rake look). clearly the front springs have probably sagged some as well, but the ride is good and handling isn't an issue with how i use my car.
not sure if its still the case, but kings used to make a range of spring heights, not just the standard 3 stages of low, super low and SSL. Been a long time since i looked at suspension.

Kings make countless heights for a customer, custom order and you pay more naturally.
Can't see the point for this situation But if you get in contact with them to advise what your after they may have another part number from another application that may give you the desired result your after, once Norm has quoted the factory ride height spec But I expect Kings would know this anyway.
So your wishing to retain a flat sill line for stance - haha, typical customers, compramise is hard to achieve.
The ride is good ? yer I know for the shocks are cactusrides like a couch. The oil viscosity is gone, mixing with the air inside the tube therefore "foaming", nice smooth ride but shocks really not working to optimum.
This is the perfect scenario of a road test comparo - comparing a nice low k same FG as yours under 60thou k's - guarantee yours does not handle as well as it should and its braking distance in emergency has increased, just saying.

All springs sag after a while. My Kings have done 120k and the front has sagged, (the back has gone up!) Looks like a Hot Wheels car.

It wouldn't have to sag much and it would scrape, and it doesn't scrape.
