What should this be on a 2019 from center of hub to bottom of flare? I didn’t exactly take this measurement but backtracking with other measurements I took it would’ve landed at around 24.0-24.5” on my truck. This seems to jive with what I’ve seen elsewhere with people typically at 41-41.50” from ground to bottom of flares with.

I’m dealing with all kinds of ******** from icon right now with my leaf springs giving me WAY more lift in the rear than they’re supposed to and icon claims factory hub to bottom of flare is 25.5”.

I just measured mine from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender flair and get 24 7/8 inch...on both sides. This is on my stock 2020. Should be the same or close to this measurement on your 2019.

Hope this helps!

Sounds right as I said I was expecting mine around 24-24.5" given the math. I'm assuming it was closer to the 24.5"

I went out and measured my stock 2020. 25.5" is what I got. Wasn't your ground to fender height also really low before you did the Icons? Did you ever figure out the difference from the smaller tires? It would be half of the diameter difference.

No, that must be somebody else, I have factory KO2’s on mine. That’s how I backtracked and my initial height would’ve been around 24.5”.

My rear is sitting at 40 inches with nothing in the back. I think my leafs springs are shot at 3000 miles but I've also read they may have settled.

Mine are at 42.25" empty with 9,000 miles on, and about 5,000 of that was loaded with 1,000-1,200lb including me. Did you stress your springs somehow? It sounds like they're bent. That's way beyond settling. If you didn't do anything silly, I'd try to get them replaced under warranty.

Yeah I went on a off road run, but I didn't jump. Just whoops. I thought about getting them replaced under warranty or just replacing since I planned on upgrading
