Does any one know the height difference between the front and rear of a 1987 r10? Want to level it.

Ground clearance is based on factory tire dimensions, if tire sizes have been changed need to compare both to get an accurate measurement..

From what I have seen 1/2 tons were already pretty much level, but the wheel arch is different front to back.

Oh sorry, I kind of got the impression that he was looking for the difference in height (from front to back). And also that his tires were all the same size.

Ground clearance in the rear is not really affected by the suspension but depends on the tire size and type of diff, while in the front it might depend on the spring and tire combo. Overall height or height to the body line might be the more correct measurement.

That is correct, with the same size tire if you have the same distance between the tire and fender front and back, truck will be a tad higher in back, perfect stance IMO..
