This would be a great help. Not that its a major concern, but if you could measure from the mount on the axle to the lowest part of the mount as well that would be beneficial too.

After looking at lots and lots of pictures, I think I'm going to buy some Caltracs. They will give me the most amount of clearance up by the front mount. The Assassin bars look like they'll hang too low. My issue is that when I pull into my parents driveway (not often, but I use that as a gauge for clearance) I scrape my frame every time. I'd hate to have the Assassin bars hang get scraped as well, and it looks like the Caltracs will be tucked up more.

you have a hanger drop, right? That may help get the front mount tucked up a bit higher next to the frame....

Please do. I probably won't be buying anything for a couple months, so if you get them in that time frame, post up your results.

Wonder if these Assassin bars just simply create more leverage on the leafs than the cal tracs due to the lower mounting positions?
There is more leverage using the lower holes which results in a softer hit to the tires.

Does anyone have any measurements on this? My truck is 4/6 an im willing to go 3/5 just to run these if my truck has traction issues next year.

I run a factory 275/55/20 so its not like im on a rubber band but i will be running a 28-29" front runner with 28" DRs at the track. The more level my truck is the happier ill be
