Wheel arch height? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anybody has any measurements for the front/rear wheel arch heights.

If so please specify drop amount, tire height and measurement from the ground to the highest point on the wheel arch.

I believe my truck has a 2/4 drop right now, and it measure 30" front/rear wheel arch height with a 255/70 tire.(29") Just trying to guage where everyone else is at with their drop.(i've got a few boxes of drop parts waiting to be installed just seeing what I may end up with).

thanks in advance.

The LMC catalog for our trucks used to include stock height measurements such as these in their lowering section. They discontinued this practice a year or so ago; I suspect it was because the numbers were too loosey-goosey due to age, original capacity, etc. At any rate, and for whatever it might be worth, those wheel arch height dimensions were 32" in front and 34" in back. YMMV!

awesome, thank you.

Do you happen to know how tall the stock tire height was? I suspect around 29"?

Sorry ... not sure ... but I'll bet some of the stock truck oriented members can speak to that.

Can we assume this is for a 1970 Custom or......?

Yes, sorry n2trux, I should have specified.

70 SWB, right now the truck is only a spring drop, with a set of eibachs front/rear
