2-1/4" (it's not a choice on the fargin poll!!) with 4-5 year old Omix (I think) springs and repop bump stops on the gray 3A.
The red 3A still has tired original springs but the motor is currently sitting on the floor next to it so the measurement you want wouldn't be true.
Since bump stops can vary and wear considerably, would it be better to measure from the frame to the axle?

Ryan, for simplicity, we can just go from the bump stop, give or take a 1/4" is acceptable, if I could edit the poll I would change a few things, but it's close enough!, and thanks for your input as well.

 2-1/4" on 63 year old stock springs and stock bump stop on the 3b with the powerhouse 134 Hurricane engine. M38 measures 2" with engine in frame with no tub. Think they will need replaced.
