Are you sure about the 1/2" difference? If the tire height is 1/2" different that means 1/4" different in ride height as only have the height is 'under' the car so to speak.
According to Coker, the 8.00 is about 27.5" tall and the 8.50 is 28.1" tall. That may be unloaded, so the tire may compress a bit. Even so, that's about .6" difference in diameter, or .3" in radius which would effect the ride height.
My springs are out of my car and the car's up in the air (front wheel well - 35" ). The springs are the same height at exactly 15.75", so your specs (and my springs!) seem right.
