Running Board Height Comparisons

[pflaming]

I'm curious on the final heights of the running boards on the various builds. For those who submit I will add your information to the list. Measure from the BOTTOM of your running boards (RB)Leading edge (le) Trailing edge (te).

I finally had a chance to park on level ground and take some measurements.

 

B-2-C with stock suspension. 7 leaf front springs, 9 leaf rear springs + 6 leaf overload springs. Original rims with 235/75R-15 tires. 13-1/2" at the front & 15-3/4" at the rear of the running boards. That's an average. The right side seems to sit about 1/4" higher than the left side.
