Question about wheel wells inside the bed

[derf]

I don't have my MJs at the house yet but I was pondering an idea for a plan but I need a measurement.  Searching has failed me unfortunately.

 

Can anyone tell me how tall the wheel wells are inside a short bed?  Basically, I need the measurement from the pad where the roll bar mounts down to the bed.

factory rollbar or aftermarket?  I assume you're just looking for bed floor to top of wheelwell?

Yeah, just looking at the distance from the floor to where a factory roll bar would sit.  Short bed, with the flat face on the top of the wheel well.

 

I'm bored at work and thinking up a plan for my MJ build now that I'm moving into my own house and can get started.

I get roughly 10" to the top of the wheelwell from the floor.   I can't measure to where the factory bar would sit because I don't have one.

Thanks.  That helps.  Sort of....

 

I'm working out a cage/suspension plan and I want to use that point as a "node" that ties underneath to the frame and has a mount for coil-overs.  The bed would sit on a plate there.  On top of the wheel well and bolted through to the suspension mount I want a cross bar "strut tower brace" and also custom tube coming back from the top of the exo-cage behind the cab.  But I also want to be able to use the bed so knowing where the cross over bar would sit helps know what I have to work around.

 

It's lower than I want but I have a couple different ideas on how to work with it where it would sit.
