Default Height diference

As easy as it seems like it would be to find, I can't seem to find the stock heights of an f150 an f250 and an f350 of this year (92-96) bumper height I guess. Not really sure of any other consistent way of measuring it. If anyone has a stock height 2 or 350 could you measure the height to the bottom of the front bumper (not valance if applicable.

Also search f150cam | im not sure if your on or not xD you haven't failed me yet

ok, i think this is for 4wd and apparently f250s and 150s are the same height.

extended cab long bed 74"
extended cab short bed 71.9"
reg cab long bed 71"
reg cab short bed 71"

thats from the highest point on the roof, im not even guna try looking for ground clearance lol.

edit: just found apparently f350s were pretty much the same height also, dont think i believe that but im not finding anything saying otherwise (aside from pictures....)

You always find things for me lol and I was going for the front bumper height from the ground because that's a little easier to measure imao lol

And idk I'm just trying to figure out how much I want to lift my truck. Stock f250s seem to sit better more level I mean and a few inches higher. I found a look I like, not sure of tire size or lift.

It still has that relatively stock look but it sits higher and definitely looks much more agressive

Those must be old lol your bumpers not painted. And as much as I love your truck, and as often as I have detailed dreams about stealing it, I think that's a bit high for my truck lol

And I think a 3 inch lift and 33s would look pretty decent on mine. I'm honestly thinking of going back to radial tires after these wear out

yea, i wouldn't lift my truck more then 6" unless it was a dedicated mud truck. anymore it seems to me atleast, that not getting a 6" is more unique lol. in my area there are either leveled trucks or truck that are lifted 6+ inches.

I just want mine to have a level aggressive look. Basically the stock height of a standard cab longbed f350. They might not sit any higher like you said but the tires seem to be bigger and have that perfect snug fit
