The odd thing about the s10 is the engine crossmember & tranny crossmember are the two lowest points on a s10. But that is only by a 1/2".

So my measurements were:

crossmembers: 5"
Frame at front of cab: 5 1/2"
Frame at back of cab: 5 7/8"

Oddly enough many times i would actually hit the frame under the cab and not the engine crossmember.

The Syborg project is set at 5 3/4 front of cab & 6" back of cab ride height and will air down to just shy of 3" when parked.

Don't forget i'm tucking a 31" tall tire in the rear.
