Well these dimensions puzzled me at first because there is no way I gained that much clearance under the rig with the same amount of drive train lift as before. Until I remembered I didn't check the air pressure in my tires on the previous measurement... So these dims are much harder to intepret than by first glance. Basically the pan on the 7M doesn't hang down as far as the one on the 22RE and the 7m appears to be mounted on the frame rails higher since these more clearance under the bellhousing.
