Hello, I need quick help with susp height

I am new here, but not to working on trucks. In fact I work on some of the biggest trucks in the world. 13' tall tires, like a 2000 sq ft house with an engine.

I have a 2002 f250 superduty 4x4 with a 7.3 and need to know what the measurement from the top of the front axle to frame. If anyone has a factory hieght truck and can help me I would appreciate it.

Thank you

I got 10" from the top of the front axle to the bottom of the frame. That is at the up bend where the axle sits under.

Hey no problem you will find a lot of helpful people on this forum. I am mostly in the 7.3 section and there are a lot of knowledgeable people over there.

And again Welcome to the FTE.

Stock crew cab SWB 7.3 is generally 7.5" +/- 0.5" from the top of the axle tube (next to the spring perch) to the bottom of the frame rail (by the bumpstop) of the front axle.
