Bear, how about front/rear bumper height, and front headlight height with the new tires.
Cali is also concerned with a ground to frame height (lowest part of the frame I assume?)
Truck looks gret BTW...do you wash it yourself?

Headlight is 56" to center.
Not sure about bumper height laws...so I'm just guessing at where it needs to be measured to..
Front bumper 47" to top portion center
Rear bumper 43" right above license plate
Let me know if you need measurements to different points on the bumper.

Is that truck legal in Texas? I think we have a center of headlight limit of 54.

cali is 54, but i THOUGHT that was to the bottom of the headlamps........fwiw.
im a little guy, im only 45" to the bottom of the headlamps.
the malls around here do not have that large of speedbumps for me to crawl, texas must have some serious moundage!

ok, JUST measured, again. been quite a while...
axle housing to bottom of frame rail 14" exactly.
ground, to TOP of headlamp was 45", not to bottom (knew that didnt sound right).
17.5" from a 6.5" lift is huge.

Yeah it is.... Matts measurements sound correct for a 6" lift on a PSD
Gassers will sit taller than a PSD with the same lift due to the weight of the engine....
JaBerryhill...That's huge for a 6.5 on a gasser....that's why you gotta be careful when you say 38 on a 6.5 is fine....it's all about the frame to axle measurement because each truck can be a little different...and a whole lot different if it's a gasser.
