Dimensions of Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System

Question

Question:

Hello, Can you please tell me the distance between the top mounting bracket plate holes? And also the total depth of the unit from the top mounting plate to the bottom of the rubber spring so I can make sure I have enough room between the frame of my trailer and the axle contact point. I understand these bumpstops actually work fine with little to no space between the unit and the axle, is that correct? I have a socal Krawler 459 tear running 35inch tires with old man Emu leafsprings and procomp dampers. Thank you!
