Measurements from those w/2.5 AS

somethings off there bud, as im 53.2" to the bottom of the mirror- and well- fender to mirror should be constant between all of our trucks.
are you measuring to the top of the fender flare? or the first exposed point (bottom)

Mine measures 40.75" to the fender on all 4 corners, this is measured to the bottom of the fender flares. This is with 325/60/18's. I will get the messurement to the bottom of the mirror in the morning, since my girlfriend has my truck right now.

interesting... lol if someone had the exact same setup as me, minus my grille guard, they should be higher than me- my guard weighs between 175-200# with the lights on it... i re-checked all my numbers and im definitely 53.25" to the bottom of the mirror casing, and 40.75" to the bottom center of the front flare.

haha- now we realllllly need another 2.5" AS with 35's on stock to chime in... PHS79 has a 2.5 and 33's and is where i am with 35's and a 2.5"
so in theory, someone with a 2.5, 35's should be nearly 43" to the bottom of the front fender...

nebraska- found another variable- i have 35x12.5R18 which in most cases is actually 34.8"x12.5R18 (less since i've got 8,000 miles on these tires which is some amount of tire height)
you have 325/60R20 which in all actuality is 35.5" so you've got an extra inch in tire height right there- which explains why you are around an inch higher at the fender- but im still lost on why you're only .25" higher at the mirror hahaha
