This slide shows the relative drop of the
truck at various locations along the frame after removal of the spacers.
Distance dimensions are shown in inches. The drops shown above are
based solely on the geometry of the chassis as shown on the top line.
The actual height at each location is dependent on the model (2500, 3500),
tire size, and 2WD or 4WD.
To determine the actual height of a specific
truck, you can either measure the height of your truck at each location
and calculate the new height from the data in the chart above, or you can
get the specs. for a specific vehicle configuration from The
2004 Body Builder's Guide. After selecting the "Cab", click on
"Views and Charts". Continue to select the configuration you are
interested in, and then click "Plan and & Side View" and "Charts" for
specific dimensions for the configuration.
There are two discussion threads on the
TDR forum on this subject.
