Exclamation 1995 4x4 OEM Radius arm length. Please Help!!

So, unfortunately, I'm in a bind. My daily, a 1995 F150 4x4 has a 4 inch suspension lift (unknown mfr). I have no idea how old the lift is either. The radius arms are tube, not OEM.

I discovered my passenger side radius arm is broken. 4 inches behind the lower shock mount. Top bar is nearly through, bottom is completely free. Scary thing to realize.

Anyone able to give me a length measurement from the OEM 4x4 radius arm? If so, reference point of measurement, so I can measure mine and see if I can just OEM swap them. I've got the quad shock set up and I've already located new lower shock tabs. I just need to know if OEM arms will work or not. I can't tell by sight if the radius arm mounts are drop mounts or not. They're bolted in. So I'm assuming they've at least been replaced before, considering I was pretty sure they'd be riveted if original.

Again, in a pinch. Just need a good measurement so I can compare.

Thanks everyone!

The stock radius arm bracket for the stock radius arm is attached just below the front cab mount bracket.
Half is attached between the 2 sides of the cab mount bracket and the other side is just behind the c/m bracket.

Thanks, I did figure out that they are extended. Sorry I didn't update here. Unfortunately, at this point, the truck needs more work than it's worth. Got a dealer to tow it and take it on trade. Lol.

I do appreciate the answer though, XLT. Thanks.
