Um.....I dont think mine changed at all. I have never measured, but I am pretty sure if it did change it was nothing noticeable.

I don't think that putting in a rearend will raise/lower you car at all (or atleast a noticeable amount). The suspension/spring mounts are all in the same locations. I believe that it will change your driveshaft angle because the pinion is at the bottom of the ring in a 9".

it will raise it some because of the diameter of the axle tubes

If mine changed it was not much. I did not notice a change in height of the rear of the car.

also it depends on how thick the new spring mounts are unless you its already welded on when you buy the axle, ultimately its not a huge difference but every axle is different.
