Post 2000s I need you to do something

Can you please:
Measure the distance from your wheel flange (the place the wheel weight attaches) to the top of you wheel well on you fender, both front and back.
See figure:


Mine looks lifted next to 2 99s, and sure enough it about 3/4-7/8" in the back and 1/4-1/2" in the front.

They (99) should not have sagged, if they did, the leafs are over stress and are taking a set, this takes away from the tuning of the suspension...
I can see all the box welding from the side.
I'm lowering it, if they can't fix it...

Question

I'm not a 2000 owner and this is off topic(I have wondered this aloud before here),but Steve,where did you get your Bburago Lightnings??? I have been looking for 3 months now and zip. The gods have graced me w/ the big version but cursed me else where. No Bburago,no brochure,no C&D show tape(or mag),nothing! I can't have a shrine with nothing to worship! I better get some stuff quick or I might get struck by a Lightning bolt from the truck gods!
