M1008 Dimension Needed

Hey guys, I'm looking for a couple dimensions on an M1008 in order to be sure it fits between the fenders on a trailer. The manual says the front axle track is 67.8 inches, and the rear axle track is 65.8 inches. I need the outside of tire to outside of tire on the front and rear axles. Stock tires. And what is the measurement from the ground to the bottom of the hub on the front axle? Can someone take a couple measurements off of their truck for me? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The front hubs shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you aren't high enough, get a couple of 2x4s the length of your fenders to drive over and that should give you enough clearance to get the hubs over the fenders. That's how I got a M211 between the fenders of my trailer.

Later,
Joe

Armada, I measured, with tire bulge included, 78" in the front, 76.5" in the back and 12.5' ground to the bottom of the front hub. Stock tires and wheels, with 45psi front, 65psi back and cold.........really, really cold.

Thanks for the help guys. 319, where about in Oakland co. are you? I'm in S. Genesee. The dim's you gave are exactly what I needed. That leaves me with 1" clearance per side on the front end. The hubs are higher than the tops of the fenders so that won't be an issue either. Thanks.
