[FordF-SuperDuty]

Any body aroxiamte ride height on one of these Gen. 7 f150s?

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

High enough to not scrape the ground but too low to put a tent under.

What exact number are you looking for? Diff ground clearance, rocker clearance, overall height or an actual number of the height of where your butt would be on the seat. I have all that for info for my rides...so I could make an educated guess...so just lemme know what you want? I remember JBG had a sectioning of actual heights as well for gen 7 Broncos, I'll see if I can't dig that up.

The height from the bottom of the interior to the ground.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Bout 22 inches.

Ok, then I saw that truck that Ben posted up, the Gen. 7. flareside and wondered how high it was going to be. My estimate is that its going to be about 3.5 feet off the ground.

Why are ya worryin about it?

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

Well since it's in NC and I wouldn't be the one buying it. I don't want to buy something and not be able to get into it!

Just jump.

22"+12" of lift= 34"+ (7.5" of extra tire above stock/2)=37.75"

Bigger is better because fat chicks can't jump. Remember, low trucks are for guys that can't get it up. And you could always drop it at least 4" by ditching the ghey BL...and then you could probably throw 35's on it...successfully dropping it 5.75".

38s kinda big for a 9 inch anyways.

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

I'd probably do that. Also, IF I got it I'd probably through some of those truck steps on there and maybe a handle or something. I'm not that tall really.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Yeah that would probly be enough.

Oh Ben, are you a member of that site that that truck was posted up on?

Yeah...I sure am...why?

 

[FordF-SuperDuty]

I e-mailed the guy, if he doesn't respond can you PM him for me?

Sure...if it's something you're really interested in and there's a good chance you'll buy it.

That was directly off my truck and it is a bit squatted down from backin up the driveway.
