Re: 2008 F350 4x4 SRW CC Height Questions

Used a level across the the center Cab Clearance Light on my truck and got 80.5 inches in height. Hope that helps.

This is very interesting. The height spec for 2008 F350 SRW CC 4x4 is 81 inches (WITHOUT clearance lights) as shown on the following Ford link: http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/s...eatures/specs/

So one would think that WITH clearance lights, the overall truck height would be 82-83 inches. Yet, if I understand correctly, you measured 80.5 inches to the TOP of the clearance lights on the same exact truck model. Is there that much tolerance in these height specs? That's what I was worried about in the first place.

OK. Moved the truck to an very flat area and remeasured at the back of the cab at the highest point of the roof ribs. It is exactly 81 inches. Foolishly, I made an assumption about the clearance lights being higher than the rest of the truck. On my truck, they still look higher, but that is not the case. Optical illusion or poor eyesight. 81 inches, measured twice.
