I'm trying to determine the stock ride height.

The rear bumper, again measured at the center is approximately 17" to the bottom. My truck is a stock '51 Chevrolet, and has the original springs, so there may be some sag. Also, keep in mind that the '51 was delivered without a rear bumper. Mine was installed very early on, but it is a heavy duty unit made by a local former blacksmith.
