You can use a soft spring and measure. I like to put the lifter together so it will not compress, which makes it a solid for the purpose of measuring, and then take my measurements with the actual springs I am running on the heads.

Get an adjustable pushrod from Com Cam. Each turn is .050", so install the adjustable pushrod on the lifter that has the valve closed. Adjust the pushrod so the valve lash is zero. Remove the adjustable pushrod and count how many turns to determine the length. Then add .050" for lifter preload. Done.
