ok, i could be wrong here but, reading your reply, from the ground to the bottom of your door handle is only 3 3/4 inches!!!?? are there some zero's missing or am i missing something? that would be one helluva lowering job though.

I suspect the old " vs ' strikes again...

 

[feellnfroggy]

LOL, I have no idea what he was talking about. But I dont think he measured what the OP wanted. Sounds like he measures top of the wheel to the fender..... Should be somewhere round 48-54 inches.Just a guess.

49" to the bottom of the handle. It's the truck in my sig.

I'm at 50.5" to the door handle, but I have 35x12.50s. So i guess subtract an inch.
Though if someone has a 4" lift vs. a 6" lift, that of course is gonna change the measurement even if the tires are the same.

What info exactly are you looking for? Just how tall a truck typically is or ?

 

[Kona]

hahaha tired I guess 4 feet less a 1/4 inch! So 47 and 3/4 inchs

i built my truck from the ground up, by setting a bII body onto a shortened chev 3/4 ton frame. and mostly guessed on how high to build my body mounts on the gm frame, and such. i am running 33x12.50-15's and just wanted to know how well i did with a bunch of measuring, and a whole lot of guesswork

 

[cammeddrz]

ok so far between the two sites (here and bII.org) i have gotten:


1 has 47 3/4"
1 has 49"
1 has 49 1/2"
2 have 49 3/4"
2 have 50 1/2"

from 7 responses we have a variation of 3"

you should really measure from the bottom of the door to the ground mine is 30 inches

 

[cammeddrz]

you should really measure from the bottom of the door to the ground mine is 30 inches

i guess if you only had a 2 1/2" long tape measure.....

well just to keep it all the same what is your measurement to the door handle?

 

[martin]

44.5" on the exploder.

 

[cammeddrz]

44.5" on the exploder.

44.5" with 33" tall tires? wow. mine is 51 3/8" so with the exact same tire size my rig sits 7" higher than yours? and when i wheel my tires rub my fenders......i bet yours rub like crazy
