Bagged truck height stats, again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slammed67, XXL, all you other air types,

Here's my $0.02 for truck height:

rear rocker front
Slammed67 10 7/8 4 5/8 6
XXL 10 3 1/4 4 1/4
nosto 12 6 3/4 8

Alternate measurement: I'm 5' 9" and with full bags, my nose hits the driprail over the door window. With bags dumped, the driprail is right a my adamsapple.

I currently have junker 235/75X15 tires, measured at 27 3/4" high.

I'm running the AirLift kits front and rear, small (1") bumpers at rear, 2" at front. No clearance problems with skirt at front, still have about 1 1/2" so I might even be able to drive it that low.

Still don't know about the clearance rear of the shortstep, but XXL and others have warned me it will be interesting.

This is the pile of plumbing I started with:

And here's what it looks like all assembled:

And here's the whole air management set up, temporarly installed on the truck, so I can play.

It's a 3/8" system (3/8" ID from air supply to bags) and with about 70 pounds air pressure in the tank, will fill/dump in about 3 seconds, or as fast as I can flip the switches. First time I tried it, it nearly threw the unbolted air tank off the plywood!

Now I gotta find that slow, pesky leak in the LF circuit.
