Anyone have a stock ride and can take some measurements?

[bdbull]

Curious if anyone has a stock ride and could provide some height measurements? Trying to find the right height for my wife's 2015 Tahoe and I would love to hear from someone that has the same thing but with stock/OEM parts. Would be great if a couple people could take measurements from the wheel well down to the ground making a straight line through the center of the wheel.

My measurements with the OEM parts were 35" in the front and 38" in the rear.

i would like to know this as well.

however, it would be more accurate to measure from wheel well to center of wheel.... otherwise, tire height (which can easily change with slightly different air pressure) will sway the results.

That's a very good point. My wife just measured her friend's Tahoe and it was 36" in the front and 38.5" in the rear. I'll get her to do it again from wheel well to center of wheel.

My 2015 Yukon XL Denali with OEM 285/45/22 tires measuring from the wheel well down to the ground making a straight line through the center of the wheel measured as follows on stock suspension:
Front Passenger = 35-3/8"
Front Driver = 35-1/8"
Rear Passenger = 37-1/4"
Rear Driver = 37-1/8"

Different suspension packages and wheel/tire sizes will have an impact on your measurements, but as long as everyone clarifies model, trim, wheel/tire size then there should be enough details.

Hope this helps.

What exactly are you trying to determine? As @CMoore711 mentioned, there are a lot of variables that will skew the data.

I'm trying to see if there's a consensus on suspension heights. I'm trying to get my Tahoe back to "factory" heights so I'm just trying to see what that might be.

Also, taking measurements as olyelr suggested (wheel well to center of wheel) would give us a method that at least eliminates tire/wheel differences.

Gotcha. As you see, it's gonna vary due to the numerous factors.

This is true.

it's actually normal for the front driver to be lower then the passenger side due to slighty more weight on that side

Another large variable is assuring you are on completely flat ground, otherwise suspension articulates ever so slightly and sways the results.
