I will take a pic and measurements for you tomorrow and post results here.

let me translate: I will sit on my iPad on a roof tomorrow and get back to you before Christmas.

Birdman is that creep in the steamroom at the gym who can't keep his legs closed and keeps mentioning how his towel is "slipping" while he's eye-******* the shit out of you.

You try to run away, but it's slippery in there..... All part of his sick twisted Master Plan.

eye-*******? damn you're giving me some credit. i typically invite the steam room homies in to the shower for some squat thrusts...

Its all to do with the lotion thrown on the floor. You slip, and your fair game to get poled.

Seriously though, I'll spring for the middle or top perch for wheel clearance in tricky situations but i would definately need a rear spring height adjustment to keep me pointing down in front. High in back gives a better view than low-rider stance...
Sure - Bo will disagree - but some of us like that 'rear high' stance for better visibility on the tough terrrain.

BTW iceman, you might be surprised at how much less ass-high the crews look once you see yours in person. My original thought was the same when I'd only seen photos. I may still go middle perch, but I've gone from being certain I'd do it immediately to being undecided. I think I might want to get in some desert time first to at least see what stock feels like.

There is no right or wrong answer. We're lucky these trucks come with the option of 3 different positions to begin with. Whichever position looks -and more importantly feels- the best to the driver is the right way to go.

I can understand you liking it setup a different way, you and I live in very different terrain and do different styles of offroading, I'm willing to bet you do a LOT more articulating/4LO stuff than I do, whereas I probably do more of the high-speed dirt-and-whoops stuff.

Good idea to try the truck out in its habitat first. That way if you do change it, you can feel the actual difference by having a baseline feel for comparison.
