Would anyone be willing to measure from their rear tire to the rear bumper and then from the lowest point on the bumper to the ground?

22" from ground to bottom of bumper. The bumper is 6" high. 12" from top of bumper to bottom of spare.

One other dimension... from the back of the rear tires to the end of the bumper. (trying to calculate grade clearance for my driveway).

Ok, I'll measure when I get home.

From the back of the tire to the rear of the bumper on mine is about 68". My bumper isn't pushed in all the way because the ends are bent and hit the body. A straight bumper would be able to be pushed in about 4 more inches.

The distance from the ground to the underside of the body right behind the wheel is 16". Of course the exhaust pipe and generator exhaust hang down lower than that. My exhaust comes out right behind the rear wheels.

Keep in mind that I have the big single wheels in the rear. The dually tires are a couple inches shorter so you probably lose around an inch of ground clearance.

Mine has 16" 225-85R16s all the way around, and it has 16" clearance right behind the rear wheel well too. It has dual wheels. The bumper is way off the ground, but has a receiver just below it so the drag clearance is reduced by about 3". Knock on wood, but I haven't hit ground yet, even on some fairly steep grades and ramps.

As you can see they had my Hall tipped way back to tow and had no issues even with my hitch. They had it up even higher when they pulled the drive shaft.. I of course had no way to lift it that high when I got home to connect it up again.

Yes. Hopefully no one will have to repeat that performance to find out. (I've had my driveshaft out a couple times without lifting the vehicles; awkward but easy)

Nice! Yes. I think it will go! After that pull behind, I've learned my lesson.

Just measured a things to follow up. Bumper to ground is 23", but the surface is uneven...

Back of tire to back of bumper is about 68.5"

Bottom of hitch receiver to ground is about 16.5", so if it ever drags, that's where it'll happen.
