That IS pathetic. My rockers are 9" off in front and 10" off in the rear.
I can't believe that they'd put the frame of a 4x4 truck that low. I do
believe that with 7" under the skidplate, you'd get hung up everywhere. I
can think of several spots in the area surrounding school that have me
fearing high center (and rightly so, they only clear by an inch and change).
If these are accurate guesstimates, the new Dak would surely get stuck.
I may have to go check one out and maybe go for a testdrive.
