Wow, 4 feet at the front and 5 inches at the rear? Post a pic of that! Just messing.

Don't know myself, but it's low

Haven't measured mine. But if I put my shoe under the car the rocker panel rests on it.

Haven't measured mine in a long time, but those numbers sound about right. Would have to check the car to be sure.
