What tires do you have?

I have 31" tires and the distance from bottom of fender flare to ground is:
Front 33 3/4"
Rear 35 1/4"

The theoretical difference in ride height from a 235/75-15 (28 7/8") to a 31" tire is about 1" so if you have stock tires is should be 1" lower than the above noted numbers. My suspension is completely stock otherwise.

saggy torsion bars, air pressure, tire wear, haha... could be any number of factors as to differences in height. I'd say get close.
