Center of hub to the ground. It's an accurate measurement of how high the tires are lifting the Jeep off the ground. Similar to how measuring the coils is more accurate than the advertised ride height; or how measuring the frame height bypass some of the unnecessary details when comparing vehicles. My 33s have never kept the Jeep 16.5" off the ground and my 4" spring lift is different than someone else's.
This measurement affects the final ride height (see the nominal frame height thread) and the speedometer and probably other nitpicky things.
If you really want to open that can of worms, I have a friend that has been testing and playing with tire pressure air gauge readings and accuracy at temp and elevation for the last 15 years if you just want a truckload of data to sift through. Obsession level testing.I forgot to ask for the altitude and ambient air temps!

We need more people to contribute, including more load range Es.
I think the following people have run Load Range D or E tires in the past. Not sure if they're still running them now.

Some of us may have been doing our own research on tire pressure.I see you have a list!
What’s the hub height measurement?

Middle is sometimes hard to see. Top is easy to set a level on and measure to the ground. Subtract 1.25 from that for the front and 1.33 for the rear if you have stock axles.If you're wondering how to take the measurement, crawling under your Jeep and measuring the height of the center of the axle tube should yield the same number (if not, you either have portals or issues).

Ah, right. You've given advice to people who run Load Range D or E tires. I've corrected my comment about the list.I've always ran load C tires
