1979 K15 4" lift Front Rear
Hub to fender lip 26.75 24.75
Hub to body line 32.0 32.0
Based on my measurements, the front fender lip to body line on my '79 was 1/4" lower than my '85's. The rear is the same.

Based on the measurement you gave minus the 2" body lift it looks like you have a 4" spring lift.

does it tuck into your cross member or hang when your driving?
