Default Measurement Help. THANKS!

Hey ya'll.
If anybody has their car up on a lift or can access the rear leaf spring, I would really appreciate getting a couple measurements. "A" is the outside to outside distance between the top leaf center mounts. "B" is the distance between the top of the center mount to the bottom of the lower mount bolt.. THANKS A TON.
Peace.
Stephen

If I'm reading your locations correctly, here's what my caliper tells me:

A: 7.370"

B: 3.705" not including height of bolt heads, or tips of bolts protruding on top side. Either 4.095" or 4.130" with bolt head height added (but not bolt tips on top side). Variation appears to be in heights of bolt heads on either side.

Hope this is what you needed.

Live well,

SJW
