Lowboy Height

I'm looking for input from all of the lowboy owners out there. Could you give me a measurement from the center of the front hub to the top of the front fender? I need to know how much lift my truck has in it and I can't find any specs on ride height. Thanks!!

What tire size was on the truck when it measured 22"? Also, what lift kit did you install, how do you like it, and how soft does it ride? Thanks.

the original tires were 9.50 x 16.5"'s. I put on a 4" rough country suspension lift system. It rides quite a bit rougher than stock and larger tires don't handle as good in snow and ice. In my opinion all you gain lifting a truck is good looks and bogging improvements at the sacrifice of everyday driveability. Also the lift kits have no provisions for altering your swaybars. I had to fab my own brackets.
