Ride height measurement

I have searched for the answer to this, but found some ambiguous and confusing info. Brett Wolfe in another thread mentioned a ride height measurement of 32.5 inches, but didn't say where this measurement should be taken. Another thread indicated 8.5 inches at the air bags.

It seems that it would be easier to measure for the 32.5 inches, but where? A wheel well?

If you are looking for a 2001-4 then you need not worry about ride ht as that only really pertains to the GV's with Torsilastic.. The 32.5 in from level grnd to the flat part of underwheel area (not the top of wheel ie under floor)

Royce,

John is correct, the 32.5" ride height only applies to U225 and U240's.

Your ride height specs are at the air bags.
