height question

How high up should our trucks be off the ground at stock height and where do you measure it at to see?

I wish I knew the answer to this too. It would be nice to know where my truck was at stock height. Maybe someone who still has a truck stock will chime in and tell you what it is.

The front fender height should measure right about 33", the back should measure out to 34". (This is with a 235/75 15 tire, btw.)

Huh. I have 235/75/15 tires so I went out and measured it. 30" in the front and 30.5" So either I mesured wrong or I guess my truck does have a drop kit on it. I've always thought I just had blown out leaf springs and it leveled it off.

Ok I will have to go remeasure tomorrow morning. The ground my truck is parked on isn't level so I'll park it in the carport and measure again.
