How much lift do you get with firestone 2600?

I am figuring out the front suspension setup ( 71 C20 longbed) and I need to know roughly how many inchs will the front lift with Firestone 2600 bags, I am running a small block (All stock so far) with th400 trans. I know it varies with air pressure and weight but thats why I am asking rough guess from others experience
Thanks

bout 7 or so inches at max, usually mine only goes up about 4 or 5 inches at most since it doesn't need to go much more on my truck.

Approx. 6"-7" is what I get from 2,500 lb. Firestone's on the front.

I had 2600s on my 88 and they lifted from the frame on the ground to the upper control arms against the frame on 150lbs of nitrogen.
