Wheel Well Height

I saw a picture and cant seem to find it showing the wheel well height being about 44-45". Is this the front wheel well? And was it an F250 or F350?

Some are worried about the last inch clearance into the garage and I know better than to be too picky but one of these things is not like the other. F-250 Crew KR 4x4

I think all the 17's have a rake to them, where as up until now, the 250s sat pretty level. I saw the pic you are talking about and i think the rear well was around 2 inches higher than the front. some folks want and need the rake, but i like a level truck.
I wonder if i put 2x4 blocks on a 4x4 250, would it bring the rear down to level? Or are the 2x4 blocks the same?

Sitting, studying a tail gate I realize the difference in measurements. All recent model trucks have a "preloaded" tailgate. The tailgate is stopped with a positive elevation over the box floor. Then the long 2x10's will be resting on the edge of the tailgate rather than 2' farther in on the floor. The height difference between above drawing and actual picture makes sense.

Thanks Guys. I actually found the pics I was talking about. They were on PSA. So I measured my truck, w/2" leveling kit. 44" front to bottom edge of Wheel well, and 46" rear to bottom edge of wheel well. Here are the pics I was referring to.
