The 844 is actually shorter than stock, but they barely compress at all

Well that makes sense, I knew they were a heavy duty spring. I guess I just assumed it was a taller spring as well.

It does seem like the 844s don't raise it quite as much but man those things are super heavy duty. When I bought mine I hadn't even heard of the 824s. Everybody just said buy the F250 springs so that's what I did. If I were to do it all over again I might get the other ones but who knows if it would actually lift it another 1/4-1/2'' or whatever. It doesn't seem to be the same on every truck. For reference, my truck has 31x10.50s w stock shocks. it's 35.3" in the front and 36" in the rear from the ground to the upper arch of the fender w the stock XLT chrome fender trim. What's everyone elses and tire size?

I'll measure mine tomorrow if I can remember, I run 824s and 31s. What motor/cab setup is your again?

Sweet, this should be a good comparison. Mine is an extended cab truck with a 351. I haven't measured mine in a couple weeks since and it has about 8 gal of gas in both rear tanks right now too FYI

I re-measured mine. There was a couple gallons in the rear tank? (guage doesn't work) and half full in the front tank. It is 36" or just a hair over in the rear and i'll call it 35.1 in the front. it's all stock but the front 844s and 31s. it does have the towing package so that may do something to do rear? extended cab 351 motor

36 1/4 in the rear, 35 3/4 in the front with 824s and stick rear, no weight in the bed. With 2 full tanks it's about 35 1/2 in the rear and 35 1/2 in the front.

If I keep both tanks full it sits perfect. I'll update after I get an alignment and my wheels aren't \ /

EDIT: before the 824s were put in the front sat at about 32 1/2 on the drivers side and 33 on the passenger side. (I assumed the springs sagged differently because the gas tanks are on the drivers side?)
