I will disagree with others on pin height. The historical standard number is 46-47 inches and there was a time when many brands did list pin height on their brochures. There was also a lower standard of 41-42 inches for lite units designed for 1/2 ton and even mini trucks. These lite units typically had 13 inch wheels and rubber torsion axles.

With today's taller trucks, it would even be a sales plus to have a higher pin height and actually announce that fact.
