Stock height - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Peregrine · 01-25-2005, 01:10 PM

I was wondering what the stock height measured from the top of the wheel well arch is on our trucks. I more pictures I see of dropped trucks, the less I think it's a 3 inch coil cut in the front, and I'd like to figure this out once and for all. I know wheel sizes make a big difference, but that's ok. I could find the differance if you would be so kind as to tell me what size tires your running. Or the size of stock 72 c10 tires.

hey buddy, factory specs should be:
FR: 32"(top or arch to ground)
RR: 34"
If you have an LMC catalogue (p95) it shows you the measurement and ideas for different stance etc.. hope this helps

just wanted to try a new smiley....
Cheers

That measurement won't do you much good unless you have the original tires on the truck. Measure from the center of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch. From past discussions, we concluded that the front should measure 19" and the rear should measure 22". This will give you a more accurate measurement of the amount of suspension drop regardless of tire/wheel size.

Thanks to both of ya. And the rear is 3 inches higher than the front? Weird.
