Default standard height and ground clearance

does anyone know offhand how how the GX470 should be, at normal height, measuring from the ground to the bottom of the bumper in the front and back? I swear my ride looks lower than normal these last few days. I did get in and raise and lower it and those functions work.

You should measure from the fender opening to the wheel hub. This eliminates tire brand and inflation differences.

If you search "heights" here you will find the method, it does not involve ground to plastic but the ground to the rear strut center bolt located in front of the rear wheel. And that measurement is subtracted from the ground to center of rear wheel. That difference if I remember correctly is about 3"
