    I forgot to measure the stock height of my fenders before I installed bags. Can someone with an MSRT running stock wheels/tires (245/45/20 front 255/45/20 rear), measure the height of the top of their fenders (front and rear) for me?

    Thanks!

    Does this need to be really exact? Like my car is probably parked on a 5% downgrade.

    Nah, not really exact. I just wanna figure out what pressure to put in my bags for stock ride height so I can postpone an alignment until after SF :)

    I have 255/45/20 Nitto NT05s on all 4 corners.
    Measured from ground straight up over the center caps to fender/well lip.

    29.75" rear
    29.50" front

    let's see here.
    255/45/20 == 29.04"
    245/45/20 == 28.68"
    difference == 0.36"
    So you might adjust the fronts to 29.2"?

    Magnums came both ways you know. Either with 245/45/20 RSAs all the way around or the F1s with a stagger and 255/45/20 on the rear. Mine seems to sit lower than other ones I've seen.
    The specs for ride height are:
    Front: min/max 13.5"/14.3" -- measured from the frame rail just back of the engine cradle rear mount to the floor
    Rear: min/max 11.7"/12.5" -- (haha) from the travel limiter attached to the front rear crossmember mount bushing to the floor

    hmmm, service manual has it lower (above numbers were from a hunter print out):
    Front: 12.64" +/- 0.47"
    Rear: 11.42" +/- 0.47"

    wonder what's up with that?

    Updated post above if you're measuring under the car.
