There are a lot of moving pieces with this, since there are variables with tire size, lift kits, payload, etc. and when I reached out to Roadmaster, they weren't able to provide me with any type of precise measurements on the Roadmaster # RM-524459-5 ; they mentioned that it's not something they would typically measure because of all these moving parts.
With that being said, they did mention that their best guess is that it's going to be roughly 18" based on the stock 8.9" ground clearance of the 2019 Ford Ranger. This is of course going to change depending on any of the caveats mentioned above and could also vary based on the condition of the vehicle suspension.
For comparison, the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX2679 are going to have a bracket height of roughly 17" and the Demco Tabless Base Plates # DM9519343 are 15" from the ground.
