Default How tall is your ranger?

Been planning on starting this thread for everyone to compare themselves for quite some time, just been waiting to get my own personal truck semi-squared away

Rules are simple, first and foremost list all of your trucks specs related to this top. i.e.
Year, model, coilsprung or T-bar equipped, lift (front/back), and tire size and tread estimate. The goal is to be fairly thorough.

Ill start with mine -

2002
XLT
Coilspring
3" Doetsch spindle lift in front
~ 2" Groundforce shackle lift out back
32" BFG A/T w/ 80-90% tread (measure about 30 3/4" top to bottom)


Than measure your truck's height from the ground to the middle of the fender like so:



obviously do it in the middle, but this was the best I could manage with the phone in my other hand for the picture.
-----------------------------------------

And from the top of the tire to the middle of the fender to show clearance.
-----------------------------------------

Do it for both front and back since im sure many of you like me are running some kind of lean.
--------------------------------------------------------------

and end your post with a single image of your truck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So here's my post


2002
XLT
Coilspring
3" Doetsch spindle lift in front
~ 2" Groundforce shackle lift out back
32" BFG A/T (measure about 30 3/4" top to bottom)


Front:

37 1/2" from the bottom of the tire to the bottom of the front fender

Front clearance:

about 6 1/2" from the top middle of the tire to the bottom of the front fender

Back:

36 1/2"

Back clearance:

about 5 1/2"

and the final product

I was hoping this was a thread about parking lot clearance bars, there's gouges all over my canopy from the walmart here, 6'7" up.

please refrain from posting if you do not have the info, otherwise this thread will become cluttered and useless to anyone looking for specific info on lift/tire size comparisons.

Thank you for following the outline Very interesting to hear how high 06-07 4x4's are capable of achieving stock! Please edit your post and include exact measurements and a picture as soon as possible

Thanks lrwfx4 and deerchser for posting! Very interesting info for me at least, to compare to my truck.

this is partly why the thread was started. Based off of the current entries, the quote below gives you all the info you need to know to answer your question. Markiiu fit 265/75r16 tires, same size as your asking about, on nearly the same exact truck as you with cranked Tbars (in his case maxed but I know that is not necessary) and belltech shackles (also not necessary from experience). There is a wheel reference thread somewhere that will tell you 265/75/16 is basically a 31" tire, or in other words a size that will fit all rangers stock. You should be good to go as is

From the ground to the top of my front wheel well is 46 1/2"
From the top of my front tire to the top of wheel well is 13" and my back is 13 1/2. my toolbox is full of tools and I'm carrying a 5gl can of gas and other stuff in the bed that I use for work or it would probably be higher.

I have 265-75-16's on my stock '03 4x4. They barely rub at full lock. A T-bar crank will fix that though.
