Since my chassis is naked as well, I'll take some measurements tomorrow.

When I was taking the TR3a off the trailer the exaust scrapped on the
ground. It was mentioned that the arc on the springs seemed really low.  I
currently have them installed so the longest is on the upside. Loaded just
as a rolling chassis the axle sits about 2" above the frame. 

On the spare frame I have it still has the springs attached and the arc
unloaded puts them with a distance of about 4" below the frame.  

What is the unloaded spring distance supposed to be?  What is the loaded
distance from the axle to frame, with just the rolling chassis. 

Thanks
