2006 E350 V10 -- gap to bump stops on front?

I'm looking for a known-good reference measurement. Clearance to the front bump stops on a V10 Ford E350 van. If anybody's got this van with a stock front end that's sitting correctly (either the V10 or diesel), I'd be grateful if you could throw a tape measure on and let me know what kind of gap you've got.

I just did a couple of things at the same time to my van (actually a shuttle bus), trying to fix bagged-out suspension (rear) and get a light lift at the same time (front and rear). I took measurements before I started but since it was already hosed before I began it's hard to tell if I made it better or worse!

Thanks!

I’d guess he’s meaning gap between I-beam and bump stop. If so, tire size and other modifications become irrelevant.

Can’t find any gap measurements… stock loaded coil height was 12.5”… after upgrading to 880s Moog progressive coils 13.5”. 7.3 psd ambulance package.
