Crane says 1.900". A trial assembly without springs will tell you where you are, then you can use offset keepers, spring seat shims or whatever you need to set the installed height to 1.900". You don't need any fancy tools to find the installed height, just a 6" machinist's scale held onto the spring seat and measured to the bottom of the retainer. It won't matter a hoot if the scale isn't exactly straight up and down. This first offering on Amazon will work great.....

1 29/32 nds = 1.90625".....close enough.
