Frame Height - Dropped 2wd c10 (73-87)

[RWB-713]

I don't know why I'm having hell finding info to compare to, but I am.....everybody talks about how much "drop" they have, but I can't really find much chatter on actual frame heights at any sort of reference point....

Anybody with a 2wd c10 running around a 29" tall tire with a 5-6/7-8 ish drop mind measuring your frame heights for me? Even if you're not running a 29" tire would be ok, just let me know what size you are running.

Front and rear, level ground, with repeatable reference points on the frame rail would be optimal (whatever's convenient for you to get to) along with what you're actually running as far as tire / suspension.... Thanks in advance!

Center of front approximately 5"

At front cab mount approximately 6.75"

Front suspension is 4.5" drop using Mcgaughy spindle and springs.

Rear is drop shackles and removed leafs so 5-6" drop.

Tires are 28-28.5 tall

Thank You!

Those are to the bottom of the frame rail, correct?

Also, are those US Mags Ramblers? What size / offset?

Yes, bottom of the frame for each measurement. Happy to take more if you think it would help. I do have to be careful with the front air dam.

Wheels are Riddlers and look similar to US Mags. I bought the truck with them on there. I want to say they are 20x8 and 20x10. Not sure on off set. I doubt Riddler makes many offset choices since they're cast wheels.

Tires are 275/40 front and 315/35 rear. I do have Slosh mild tubz in the front so I can have some suspension movement. Front left wheel rubs the tub on hard left turns. I believe this is due to the tires being a bit taller than what most run. I prefer the meater side wall and look. I have no other issues with combination.

Greatly appreciate all the info man, could I bug you for one more measurement? At the rear, to the bottom side of the frame at the crossmember behind the rear tires (arrow in pic)

Also, to run those 315's in the back, is the bed tubbed or clearanced at all? That some hefty meat that I'd love to run as well if it didn't require a bunch of cutting

Stock wells. There's plenty of room for 315's.

I measured in line the the two rivets on the underside of the frame that hold that rear cross member in place. Height is approximately 17.5"

I'm just sitting in my garage which is by no means a perfectly flat surface, and I don't have the same amount in fuel in both tanks.
