High all I am still fighting this body tub problem and I am interested in how high most tr3’s are from the ground( cement floor preferably) right behind the front tire at the edge of the front fender to ground. I am sure the measurement is relative to tire size and suspension condition ect, but there should be some kinda of quasa stock number. I think I am doing something wrong. I am trying to high center the cab at the out riggers with shims to get an air gap on the rear and front mounts, but it is taking about an inch of shims. Something is not right. The original bolts on the out riggers are only 1 ¼. I lost some room on the floor pans because they were welded inside with a lap to the old one and perhaps the recess were the bolt drops through to the out rigger is not as deep, but that might not effect this. I do not know. Any suggestions are very well come.

Steve - I just measured from the floor up to the point you describe, and have exactly 7" clearance.

You're right, the wheel/tire sizes are factors in that distance. I have Minator 15J wheels with Kumho PowerStar 758 tires in 165/80R15 size.
