Factory ride height '92 2wd

Anyone know what the factory ride height spec is on a '92 2wd?

Should be the same as 1990. Are you looking for ground clearance (ground to lowest point)? Or ground to bottom of cab?

I'm trying to figure out how much my suspension has sagged over the years. From ground to top of wheel arch is 28"on the front and 29 1/2 on the back.

My measurements are as follows: (ground to top of wheel arch opening)
RR: 27"
RF: 27 7/16"
LF: 26 15/16"
LR: 25 15/16"

I do have some weight in the box, but that wouldn't seem to account for all four of my wheel arches being a different height. Low tires might, though. I guess I should check my tires tomorrow and make sure they're all even. Level ground might also help.

Thanks for measuring, that helps. Is your truck essentially stock suspension?

If you have stock 215/70/14's, part of the difference is in the tiresize I run (225/70/14)

Also, my left side is roughly 1" lower like yours.

Based on your measurements, maybe my springs aren't as flat as I thought they were. Makes me think a helper spring might be a good option for me.

That does explain it. Yes, I'm running the stock tire size.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's lopsideded!

Driver side or left side has the battery, gas tank and usually one person in the drivers seat causes the truck to lean on the drivers side over a period of time.

It’s the Ranger lean, lol.

Actually, on the gen 2’s, the battery is on n the pass side, but your point is valid about the fuel and driver weight.

I was about to post that there was something seriously wrong with my truck because the battery is on the right, when I saw your post.
