I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS and measured an overall height on the springs of right at 6-1/4 inches. I have attached an image to assist.

These particular springs are designed to fit the rear axle on the following trucks:

2010 - 2018 Ram 1500
2019 - 2019 Ram 1500 Classic
2009 - 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500
