The ride height actually has the biggest effect on CG. So measuring a vehicle 5" higher, won't even be close. To get an idea, you can calculated the cg height for the stocker and then subtract the amount you are going to lower the truck. If you are swapping from a 4 or 6 to a v8 or BB then weighing the stocker is pointless. Everything changed will affect the cg from the tires and wheels up! To weigh for the cg make sure you have good scales (Digital if Possible) and a high lift jack as you will have to jack one end of the truck up pretty high to get the proper numbers.
