 Need a stocker measurement Who has a stock height Bronco ?
I need the dimension from floor to bottom of stock bumper.
Trying to do some geometrical figuring on how far to lower my plow mount

Re: Need a stocker measurement My 66 is 23" to the bottom of the frame horn. It does have new Duff coils. I think they are stock height. The were added when the front end sagged due to the ridiculous bumper and winch (which have been removed).

Re: Need a stocker measurement Interesting...........thanks for the measurement.
Mine measures 25-5/8" and that is with 4-1/2" coil springs and 33" tires
So, assuming that Meyer designed the mount for their plow based on a stock height Bronco, then I will lower it by 2-1/2" and call it a day.
That should help improve the blade from tripping so easily.

Re: Need a stocker measurement I just measured my front axle to frame and got 10". So maybe he put a lifted spring in to compensate for the extra weight.
Edit: I don't have a stock height 66, I have a 66 LUBR. The back measured 8" and has a 1" lift block, and maybe an add-a-leaf.
