Ride height info

Hello,
Does any one have the factory stock ride height for a 1977 F150, 4X4, 117' wb, 235/75R15 tires, 400, C6, with factory A/C ?
Also, at what body points is the ride height measured ?
Thanks,
Nat

Don't have any f150 figures but the best way to measure height would be from center of your hub to the wheel arch. Eliminates tire size when comparing trucks and suspension height. If you need total height, ground to the rear cab roof is the highest point generally.

Measured like this you should be in the 21-22 inch area up front. The rear will vary some, but you can figure at least 4 extra inches.

There are just too many variables to determine a "stock" ride height. Are you trying to figure out if your truck is lifted?

I'm trying to get the same information for my truck. The driver's rear corner is low from years on a cattle farm and such, and I'm trying to determine if the front has settled much over the years.

I found form 76BB908 that has most dimensions, but it refers to chart 75BB060 for ride heights. I can't seem to find it.
