Lightning's ground clearance

I got some 22inch wheels on my truck, and they have lifted the truck WAY higher than what I was expecting. If you browse through my gallery, you can see that I am way taller than any Lightning should be. The picture in the gallery is with 305/45s all the way around. I recently got 265/35s put in the front, and 305/40s in the rear, to give me more room to drop the truck.

My question though, is what the normal ground clearance for a stock Lightning? Thats all I'm really going for, since I care about clearing curbs and all. Thanks in advance.

Thanks BlackBetty, the weels are 22" Giovanna Anzios. But Giovanna passed the design over to one of it's smaller companies, Double G (they own Gianelle and GFG, and G-Racing wheels, as well). I believe the model is 405. Just google Double G and you can find them. I bet there are still some discontinued Giovanna Anzios floating around as well.

My L is lowered so can't get the stock height but based on your wheel/tire sizes the stock diameter is 29.5". The 265's you have calculate to a 29.3" and the 305's are 31.6". The increased height should be 0.9"/2 = 0.45" for the 265 and 3.2"/2 = 1.6" for the 3.05's. Looks like a 1" and 2" drop should get you back to stock.
