26" on the passenger side and 27.1/4" on the driver's side and that's with the spring pad on the driver's side springs.these springs never did settle evenly.i was going to put a spring pad on the passenger side but i just got new 5" Marlin's american's recently.

No blocks on my rig. The only thing I modified on the springs was flipping the overload springs on my rear 63's to allow them to flex more but not over flex.
I LOVE MY YOTAS!!
