Default Superlift..

I've got a 91 f-150 short box standard cab, and I'm putting a 6" superlift lift kit on it. It came with 4.5" blocks for the rear but I got superlifts 4.5" leaf springs from bronco graveyard to put in instead of the blocks. I've got them in and everything I measure shows only 2.5" of lift.. I called superlift and the guy says there within specs and they are the right part number. I'm wondering if anyone with a 6" lift (4.5" in the rear) could give me a measurement from the center of the axle to the fender.
And yes the factory blocks are in. Everyone likes to ask that more than once, im not that stupid. Thanks!

Yea, I know a 6" lift only lifts the front 6, and then brings the back up level. But the truck sits like a homo lowrider with the back end way down. I called Superlift and BG and they both said the springs are right and they dont know why its messed up. But I just put 4" blocks in and took out the stock 2" ones, so it sits fine now.
I just dont know why the springs only show 2 1/2" of lift..
