Its hard to tell from that pic but those (Zone) probably drop it about that much. I could measure the other one if I go by my dads today.

There's at least an inch from the new bolt hole to the bottom of the bracket, plus however much it makes it sit up out of the recessed area.

See the sag in the front. And tomorrow I will measure the height from the axle tube.
How would I know if my brake lines are longer?

Your front fenders aren't cut in that pic, the inner fenders and those gay mud flaps on the front need to come off. The brake lines will probably be braided stainless if they are extended.

Did you take out one of your pairs of shackles yet? If not you need to ASAP.

I wouldn't measure it like that. You're assuming the fender openings are the same. I'd do it from the bottom of the body right next to the tires.

Just do it the way 4 people have told you to, and give us numbers. We don't know your lift height without them, and we can't give you advice without knowing where you're currently sitting.

What he said, but take out one if those pairs of shackles first, that is just dumb.

Found them. 1969 Dodge Charger 5 on 4.5. I thought they were 79 Z28 wheels first, but those are 5 on 4.75.
