put a level on the bottom side of the frame and massure the distance between it and the rockers

^^^^^^^^^yeah

But keep in mind that the front crossmember sits lower than the frame.

exactly why do people ask this?? My answer is: however much it takes.
Ive bodydropped 6 trucks and cant tell you how much on any of them.

Just do it!

cut and weld no 2 trucks wil lbe the same

Just play it safe and do 8 inches. LOL




I put a 1x1 square tubing under the frame with some clamps and just measure up on each side of the truck. You would be suprised how many are off a little from side to side. For the crossmember, just Z the front and u should be set.
