|
This may sound silly, but I want to know if my Bay is sitting at factory height. My measurement from the bottom of the bumper to the ground is 16.5 inches. Can anyone do the same measurement and let me know?. The rear of the Bus height would also be helpful. Bottom of bumper to the ground. I know it might just be easier to measure the top of the camper to the bottom- that's easy to get specs on, but that seems to vary from manual to manual. 76 Bay Westy.

It is more standard to measure from the tops of the wheel arches to the center of the wheels, as that takes tire size out of the question.
It is normal for the front to sit quite a bit higher than the rear when the van is unloaded, especially when there is no one in either of the front seats. |

SO, with that said, what is the measurement from the top of the wheel well to the center of the tire?. I can try that as well.
