thanks, xxxsherpa...I am guessing that the wheel arches are not consistent, if you have a concrete garage floor or nice level driveway, how about the REAR lower corner of each of the two arches to the ground? or your choice as long as they are similar, I am just looking for a difference...thanks again, I appreciate it.

I forgot to add a couple of things about my truck... I have the snow plow pkg along with the camper pkg, do you still want measurements? Sorry.

I'd suggest from the center of the axle hub straight up to the bottom center of the wheel well. That eliminates any variances in tires, pressure, ground, etc.

Yes please, I forgot to mention snow plow package as well...xxxsherpa

h20camper, I thought of that, but aren't the wheel arches shaped differently?

xxxsherpa, your photo looks great, I can hardly see any difference, and if anything your added camper package could add height (although I believe the only difference may be the addition of the sway bar)...it looks pleasantly level, does it to you as well or is the photo skewing my perception?

Most lift/leveling sites will tell you to use them as the reference. You really can't use anything from the ground as too many variables.

It's not level but I like the look! Here are the numbers based on your location you wanted...Front is 22.75" Rear is 27.25". There is a plastic piece that sits at the bottom of the fenders, I measured to the metal above the plastic. Looking at my truck it doesn't see to have that much difference as measured. Hope this helps.

Here's everything with sp/camper package. Both snowplow or camper springs are 5600. My numbers are near identical.

Mkos1980, that is a stock delivery, no leveling, etc? It looks terrific, reading these posts I thought I'd have to replace the rear blocks at a minimum, if you didn't, I should be satisfied.

h20camper and xxxsherpa, I replied to both of you earlier, I do not know what happened to it...I acknowledged your statement regarding measuring using the wheel arches, and xxxsherpa, I thanked you again for your willingness to measure and reply so promptly.

thanks again to all who responded.
