Bumper height

[Mikel]

If someone has a non-lifted M715 and a tape measure handy - Could you tell me the distance from the top of the front bumper to the ground? Please specify tire size.
Thank you

Mikel, my truck's front bumper height is 31 5/8" on one side and 31 7/8" on the other side, probably due to the shop floor. It has new leaf springs, never been driven on yet. 11x16 Michelin xl's 95% tread, 30 psi in the tires. My front bumper is 7" channel. You can probably subtract 1/4" for the webbing inside the channel if you are going to use a stock style bumper. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work, and more pics please.

Thank you! Looks like I'm 2" over stock height (XL's factored in)

When are you going to post more pictures of your beautiful truck??

[Mikel]

Hopefully the front suspension will sag another inch or two when the rest of the missing stuff is on. No hubs in the pic, but the axles are on jackstands.

It's coming together Mikel. Keep at it. I will post up some more pictures maybe after this weekend. Maybe just maybe if Al and I can finish up the wiring, we can start it for the first time. I was kinda hoping I'd have some final pics SOOOON. Anyways I'm running out of things to do. Down to the last half dozen list.

Better not try to fire it up until I get there Sunday!

I'll take lots of pictures. And a video clip of the re-awakening!

If you're using stock springs I'd be surprised even with the 6bt. I did a Big Block Chevy with all the trimmings, cast iron intake etc, and a TH400, and once everything was in the truck, it may have settled 1/4"!

Those are F250 3" wide springs.
