i really need the measurements from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame on a stock truck, i cannot figure out how low mine is in the rear and this may be a good place to start.

thanks all

If you don't get measurements by morning, I'll pull them for you. Mine is a 2wd short bed if that's what you're looking for.

That'd be great! Even if your truck is lowered, if you know how much I can do the math!

My truck has no drop yet and it measures 9.25" from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame. There is about 100lbs of weight in the bed and the fuel tank only has about 3 gal of fuel in it. Hope this helps.

Could measure from the ground to the bottom of the front cross member, then figure out the difference in tire size between yours and mine.
