Stock Ride Height full size Bronco

I've been searching here and other forums as well as the internet for the stock ride height on a full size bronco. recently bought a 95 XLT and im trying to determine if previous owners installed a lift kit. has some different parts in the front that make think this was done.

does anyone have a reference or method of where or how to measure this.

Thanks

Mike

A thought...

Tomorrow I could measure my unlifted 1994 XLT:
From highest point in wheel well opening to ground, both front and back, and then center of wheel hub to ground, both front and back.

With that data, by subtracting the center of wheel hub to ground from the wheel well to ground distance, would give the wheel opening to center of hub distance, so any difference in tire diameters would be taken out of the equation.

Otherwise, I don't think I have any factory data, don't remember seeing anything like that in the factory shop manual.

Front = 34"
Rear = 35.5"

center of wheel hub to ground, both front and back.
All ~14.5" (includes squish of tire, so less than 1/2 of actual tire diameter)

Thanks for that. what i was able to find were measurements from the frame to the top of the axle tube in the rear and from the bottom of the shock mount to the top of the front arms.

the rear was supposed to be 7" and the front was 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" iirc.

i have a couple of ways to measure it, ill post up when i get measurements.
