How tall is your backend
Hi all,
Just a quick survey/question. After I towed an enclosed trailer (roughly 4500 lbs loaded), the backend of the truck doesn't seem as high up anymore (or it could be my eyes)??
I'm going to measure my backend as follows (and was wondering if anyone else could with an XLT 4x4:
- On a flat surface
- Using a measuring tape from the middle top edge of the tailgate to the ground (no bed cover)
It would be interesting to see how everyone's differs.

This book (55MB PDF) probably has the dimension you need:

I wonder if your rear end was lower, would your left and right lugnuts match?
Seriously though, I'm glad to help/payback some of the good advice and information I've gotten from this site.
