    I measured the height of my truck sitting level in my garage from the floor to the bottom edge of the fender with the tape measure centered over center cap, and It's 1 1/2" lower in the front, but when I measure from the center of the center cap to the bottom edge of the fender I get a reading of 1" lower in the front.

    All of the tires are at the same air pressure.

    From curb to monster drink in cup holder.
    But make sure you start from bottom of curb.. so you get that extra 3"

    Pretty much how 99% of members take their ride height measurements

    It's really all about the camera angle when you're trying to make it look bigger
