If someone out there with ~4" of lift and 35-36" tires would get me a few measurements, that'd be very helpful!

I need these measurements:
From the ground to the:
bottom and top of the frame at the transmission cross member
floorboard on the drivers side above the cross member
center of the front hubs

and
from the centerline of the front hubs to the front of the transmission cross member.

Thanks for any help guys!
 
OK, some nice soul on another forum gave me the measurements I needed. Anyways, I'm trying to get a grasp on front 3 link with panhard design. The numbers on this are based on the measurements given to me by someone with a truck sitting where I want mine to be when I get the suspension finished.

Right now, my truck is actually two trucks, sitting 10' apart, but I'm finally getting some work done on them. As I go, I'll be working with the 3 link calc more and more, ironing out the numbers as I get everything built. This is my first try. After reading through several threads and searching and reading, I think this looks like a reasonably streetable front 3 link for a trail truck. Any advice out there for a link-suspension newb?

WB-117.5
Tires-35.5"
Antisquat-73.62%
Roll Axis-11.46*oversteer
Roll Center-22.6"
ICX-1,308.21"
ICZ-278.68"

Note-This is a paralell 3 link with panhard bar. Again, this is all based on numbers given me by a person with his truck sitting at the height I want mine to end up at.
 
Yeah, that'd give me a broader range with which to work on my numbers with!
