Hi,
I am looking for someone that could measure / confirm what is the distance from the top of the frame to ground.
I have found this 3D model online that says 48.663", but I am not sure how real is this.

Thank you.

Alberto

Yea mine still doesn’t have much weight on it. It is setting in dirt right now so I ran some of my measurement numbers I used for my cad drawing.
I come up with just under 55.5 to the top of the 6” upper frame rail As mine sets mostly bare…

It is 21” from square axle housing face to tread face.
it is 28.5” from bottom of square axle to top of main chassis frame
upper frame rail is 6”

of course the tires flat a little on the ground so probably ~55, top of upper frame to ground @ my low weight. Not sure how much weight Keith has on his:)

to contrast this I measure 26-3/8” top of main chassis frame to bottom of front square axle housing, so 2-1/8” lower in the front currently…

i based much of the axle to frame measurements around the square axle housings @ 5.25”, so 21+5.25+21 = 47.25” tire diameter, at least at 80PSI…
