Nick,
I can't tell you the specific height, but I can tell you an easy way to find out. Purchase, or go to a vendor's store and measure, the stock wood blocks that act as the spacer between the front bed cross sill and the frame. By memory they are approximately square and about the same width as the top of the frame rail in that area.

Nick,
The factory wood blocks are 2 7/16".

We make the front of the bed the same height above the frame as the rear of the bed. Measure your rear sill bracket height and that should be the same as the combined height of your front cross sill and the wood block that supports it.
