Looks pretty normal for a 4x4. Are you sure your not comparing yours to 2 wheel drive trucks?

It's normal height, if it is other 4wd's your comparing to, some of them tend to "sink" in the front as time goes by, which is also normal, and all those people would need to do is get their bars cranked back up to the normal height.

looks stock but maybe a little taller. get a tape messure and check the front and rear fenders and the rear should be a 1in or 2 taller.

you were right crazy, 20 inches from the center of the wheel in front, and 22 inches from the center of the wheel in back!

thanks everyone

yeah, i like how mines is too, i think yours looks the way it is though. i think it looks supid when people only lower the front of their car or truck and raise the back so that its tilted foward..
