Measurement needed

I was hoping someone with a known lift height of 4 or 6 inches could take a measurement for me. On a Ford e350. Mine is a 97 but I don't think it should matter.
Trying to figure out how much lift my van has.
Am looking for the distance from the center of the front wheel hub straight up to the fender.
Thanks.

Here is what I'm looking for. I don't even need a picture. Just a number

That measurement can vary, what 4wd conversion does your van have? A diesel vs gas would have different numbers there if they're running the same spring. The Ujoint springs are all made custom for each van so they vary slightly as well. What is more telling than lift height is what size tires you can clear without rubbing.

Post your van specs and Ill pull some dimensions off a few vans tomorrow morning.

We have records of every van built here but we measure to the pinch welds. Directly behind the front wheel well and in front of the rears.

I measured a handfull of stock vans in the parking lot, the most common was 21" but saw as low as 19"....Couldnt get a good number on any 4wd vans, all the ones here right now have Bushwhackers on them. Hope that helps

Thanks for the feedback so far. I appreciate it.
I have a 97 e350 with v10. Salem Kroger leaf spring conversion. Had new front springs built recently. Sits higher than it did on the old springs.
Rear has blocks. 4 inches?? They rearched them and added another leaf.
Tires are 245/75r16.

Measures about 22 inches to the pinch welds.

I'm trying to figure out what size tire I can fit on!

21-1/2 to 22-1/2 on my 1990 E250 Born Free RV that I converted to a Quigley. My tires are 225-70R19.5s.
