Stock ride height?

[kpritchett70]

My 95 4x4 is sagging in the front, the left is worse than the right. The previous owner put f150 springs on the rear. My question is does anyone know stock ride height measurement. I'm thinking center of axel to either the fender well opening or the body line? I'm trying to figure out how much the back is lifted and the front is sagging. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the info but I still don't see the measurement I'm needing

that's funny, it doesn't how the front height. it shows angles but no height like the back shows from the bottom of the diff

Go to the link at the top.

I have been to that link many times but unless I'm missing something the information I'm looking for isn't in there

I just looked in the tech library myself and didn't see ride height locations or specs. Unless I'm missing it too. We need to capture this info and add it.

I'm sure that info is in a factory service manual... not sure a Haynes manual would have it.

Hopefully someone will share that info from their factory manual.

I looked online in a factory nservice manual and still couldn't find it. And my Haynes manual doesn't even mention it. Hopeing someone with a stock truck will be nice enough to measure it for me.

No one is going to have a 27 year old truck that still sits at factory ride height.

Good point

@97RangerXLT don't you have a set of factory manuals for your truck?

Also info for 4x4s.

I have a cd... that only works in a computer with Windows XP or lower. So for the last several years i ha e not had to use it but when i was running Windows 7 pro. I just spun up a win xp virtual machine when i needed it. Not sure if Win 10 can do that...

Because when viewed in its entirety it is only showing the 2wd truck. The rear diff will be the lowest point, lower than 2wd i beams.



The "Ride Height" may help.



This (and more) is all in this:

I can't find a "dimensions" section in the '94 body/chassis manual to save my life, but under "Suspension: Vehicle Lean Correction (Front)" the "example" ride heights (to top of wheel well) given are approx. 25+1/2" for 2wd and 29+3/4" for 4x4.

I'm also not sure if this is stupid, but given approach angle A=21.8* and front overhang=28.3", you can trig the other side of the triangle on the 2wd '92 as tan(21.8deg)*28.3 = 11.32", which should fall between the bumper and valence according to the diagram.
