Steve,

Mine has the following: sump to ground - 3 inches, seat bottom to 
ground - 4 1/4 inches, and frame to ground - 6 3/4 inches.  Are you 
sure you have the 2.8L six?  Not sure if they have the front sump.  
The Essex V6 in mine is an early Essex which has the front sump.  
Later ones had the sump in the rear.
