 Topic: Height measurement comparisonPosted: 19 May 2023 at 11:05am |

Given differences in tire choice, suspension age etc, it would be (I think) interesting to compare what the following measurements are on our jeeps.
1) ground to center front hub 2) ground to bottom edge of tub at driver access 1948, 14-1/4" and 19"+ on 20psi 6.50/16 super traxions

Measure to bottom of tub guys. Not top of door opening. Trying to keep it consistent. Or are your tub bottoms almost 3 feet off the earth? Levitating flat fenders. I BELIEVE!!!

Interesting how consistent hub height is even with all the different tires until you get into the really tall sizes. Suspensions influence height of tub (and frame) more than tires seem to.
