Im looking to replace just the front sight and keep the rear sights.

Any recommendations? What height do I need for the fronts?

Thanks.

On my 5" RO keeping the factory rear sight, setting to POA/POI, Springfield installed a .180" tall front sight, I believe.

Measure the width as well and being you have an adjustable rear sight if you do not like where it sits for your zero you can order a taller or shorter front sight to change the elevation of the rear.
