I actually have no idea how to measure that. I think ADD had told me at one point, but the lift would throw that off. I'll have to get back to you on that.
Measure from the front lower angle on your bumper
(The first part to come in contact with something) to the ground.

Then measure from that same spot on the bumper to where the tire touches the ground.

Input those numbers

And there you go. [emoji2]

@BoostedDoc

Approach angle is 30°

Departure is 28.5°

Is that good or bad?

I calculated my breakover angle as well. It came out to 24.1° with my side steps giving me 15" of ground clearance.

The steps are in line with the frame so I doubt I'll get much better than that even if I upgrade to sliders. That will just let me hit with out swearing.... (As much)

Very cool thread! I think ur the most popular f-150 overlander there is! (So jealous!) keep it up!
Well thanks! That's a heck of a compliment. There are a few f150s running around now. Looks like you have a Raptor? I'm jealous of that!

Going to start mounting up some of the gear on the rack and test fit some things. Still waiting for a maxtrac mount from RCI, probably shouldn't hold my breath.

I was having trouble getting the gear stored properly in the bed. I kept loading the bed as I used to but a lot of the gear has slimmed down while the one recovery/camp box got much heavier. Here is what we came up with for now. Just a test fit....View attachment 26093

Does the trasharoo make it an official overland rig.....?? HahaView attachment 26094
