    Like I said, I’m an access cab.
    So your rear pinch height will be further back, and probably a bit higher.

    Better to do it from center of hub.

    Measuring pinch welds won’t determine lift. Doesn’t account for tire size.

    The struts I have in there are weak, and abused as I’m replacing them next week with Icon coil overs

    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    if this is the case, with such a high lift you should probably figure in the ambient temp and altitude to get a correct measurement
