Im not trying to be mean... but, those 9 (maybe 10th one hidden in grass) boards tall would have to be 2.5" thick each to get 24"... just doesnt even look close to 24" tall, or that thick.

Those look like 2x8s and 2x10s to me... which would make them 1.5" thick... equaling 13.5" tall...
2ft would be 3/4ths as tall as your tire if you're on 32's...
Meh, too much brainpower required.
EDIT: For reference, I got on an RTI ramp once on my 32's at full PSI and got an astounding 22"...

Joe, disconnect that front swaybar and you'll get a lot more articulation from the front end.

The front is disco'ed, the rear is still hooked up.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

LOL, the top of the tire is almost in line with the rock slider. That is a pretty good amount of flex. I think those monster tires just kind of hide how much flex there is.
