ron, look forward to seeing you.
i had a neighbor in mesa go measure from the fiberglass of the back engine door hatch to the bottom of the trailer hitch. it is 6 3/4".
now i just need a simple measurement. that is how far is it from the trailer hitch where it is flush with the engine bay back to the place where the rear tire contacts the ground. i forgot to have my neighbor measure that and now they have left. (oops)
i am assumming if i have my ride height set at 12" and the bottom of the engine door bay is the same height, that i only have 5-6" clearance from the bottom of the trailer hitch to the ground and i have the length from the trailer hitch to the tire, i can calculate the max angle you can go up without dragging and without raising it up.
