I did a few more strategic height measurements of my truck, but I am just as confused about my truck's front-end height to the rear-end height.

 

Are you going to expand on that at all?

You're kinda leaving it open here. What about it is making you confused?

Most factory trucks always sit like 2in higher in the rear.

 

I am new to posting on this forum, but in my new guy introduction I requested that fellow forum members view my photo album. I think my rear end is lower than my front end, but I am not 100% confident in both my eyes and measurements: I just learned the correct terminology "trim Z-axis height", so I have to learn about identifying more parts on my truck. I think my truck's trim line is part of the challenge: my truck is the performance edition of the Sierra 1500 analogous to the Silverado SS. I now know that I have been measuring at the incorrect location(s) on my truck. I may attempt to take measurements of the Z-axis height, but I don't think I could fit under my truck in a position to take measurements. I also recently learned that my front end has a torsion bar, so now I have more reading about part's identification, tool selection and find really good "How-To-Guides". However I might visit a nearby Cadillac dealership to get a mechanic's perspective.

Measuring the height of my truck at the frame just in front of the rear wheel well.

 

Measuring the height of my truck at the frame just in front of the rear wheel well


The measurement of my truck's height at the frame just in front of the rear wheel well is approximately 14 7/8 inches

 

I moved up to to the truck's front end and measured the height just behind the wheel well.


With the tape in the locked position after measuring the rear of the frame just in front of the rear wheel well, the height in the front was higher by approximately one-(1) inch

 

I attempted to measure the height from the top of the tires to the truck's frame at the top of the wheel well curve.


This is the distance from the top of the left rear tire to the truck's frame at the wheel well peak.

 

This is the distance from the top of the left front tire to the truck's frame at the wheel well peak.


Front left height measurement from the top of the tire to the wheel well peak.

 

I measured the distance from the ground to the top of the truck's hood and also from the ground to the top of the truck's bed; thus, I realized that this measurement doesn't tell me anything because the rear end side panel is larger than the front end side panel.
