Average Ride Height
Hey guys, I have a generic question for you. What are most guy's running for an average ride height. I am currently trying to set up my dropmember equipped shortbox and was just wondering what most people were running.
Some specs: dropmember's front and rear, bolt-on bodydrop, 255/35/22 on the front and 275/30/24 on the rear. Accuair e-level system for air management. Hopefully someone is running a wheel and tire combo that is similar in height. All I am looking for is a baseline which to work from. Thanks Jason

Re: Average Ride Height
Depends on the roads mostly. If if hitting the highway or the roads are rough or unfamilar, I ride about 5 inches from the pavement. Around town and on smooth roads? 1/2 inch.

Re: Average Ride Height
Thanks for the input guys. 5" is Pretty much what I was thinking. By the way, I love that truck. I'm not usually one for multiple colors, but yours looks awesome!

Re: Average Ride Height
If you have front and rear dropmembers the ride height should be between 4-5" as measured from the frame rails below the cab. That's where they were designed to run. I'm definitely not an expert I just happen to have this conversation with Nate a couple of weeks ago.
