Yep... Ditto...

Went for looks and previous experience with mud trucks. The Raptors fat ass does not like wading in the mud, it prefers to fly..

If you want people to measure from the ground, you better specify tire size, tread depth, and tire pressure, because they all affect that measurement.

If you want a measurement you can compare between any truck, any tire size, any tread depth, and any tire pressure, measure from the center of the wheel to the top of whe wheel well opening. You'll get the same measurements whether one truck has 37's, or one has a flat tire.

Ok does anyone have their measurements from the middle of the wheel to the top of the wheel well for the rear?

Mine is 27 in the front and 27 1/2 in the rear from the middle of the hub cap to the bottom of the fender with the top perch done

You guys have me completely torn! I'm waiting on my 2013 SCAB to arrive, and had planned to move to mid perch immeditaely. I hate the ass up look, and need more front end clearance when I'm off road...which is rarely (hunting season). I want a clean, level look. From everything I'm reading here, it sounds like top perch would be the way to go since I'm not "off-raod" all that often. Having said that, getting this truck could certainly change how often I'm in the mud!

Read so of the posts about Top perch vs Mid perch before you make your choice. Top perch has a real bad reputation hear on the forum for destroying your truck and costing you money! From what I have read, it is better to go Mid perch until you can afford or what aftermarket goodies. Just my thoughts
