The obvious requirement is that the bottom of the bumper be no less than 2 inches nor more than 7 inches from the floor. That volume must be empty, of course, else either the bumper or the frame perimeter would be redefined.

If you can state what you were trying to do under the bumper, the readers here will be able to give you a more precise opinion.

The correct measurement is 5 inches. This is found by taking the 10" height of the bumper zone and subtracting 5 inches, the thickness of the bumper.

The bottom of the bumper must be between 2 and 5 inches from the floor (derived from rules); the entire bumper must be between 2 and 10 inches from the floor (rules).
