The clearance that you will want between your truck frame and the rear axle for the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TDR3500CA, is either approximately 6-3/4 inches or approximately 7-3/4 inches (see photo).

Once the Timbren springs are installed, you will want about a 1/2 inch gap between the bottom of the spring and the axle on a one ton truck. The springs and the bracket measure 6-1/4 inches long and they come with a 1 inch spacer in case you need the additional length.
