anyone know the minimum distance between axle and frame.... like can I get away with an inch? Understanding that spring tension has a factor in it... but still wonder if I can get away with an inch?

As I said above, my 4 spring pack installed has the axle just almost touching the frame rails.... so I am thinking about a 1" spacer to set ride height and then eventually play with adding spring by spring to dial it in perfectly.

So thoughts on an inch of space being enough?
