Tire size would change that number. I can measure mine from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel opening. However, mine seems to be a bit high in the front of low in the back, so I'm not sure if I would be a good reference.

Tire height won't matter if you measure fender lip to center of bearing hub. What's the point here? Theses trucks are all over the map anyway. My :2cents

i'm thinking my was 35 to 36" on 15" wheels and a 29" tire. After Sid's 3" drop and new Detroit springs with a 1" drop I'm at 29".

Until then swept on, John
