It depends on what cumulus type you are talking about.
Cumulus humilis clouds are 'fatter' than they are tall. This is what people would usually refer to if they say just 'cumulus'. These are the clouds you see in the morning, and all also called fair weather clouds. You normally see a cumulus humilis cloud at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,500 feet. (600-1,050 m)
Cumulus mediocris clouds are an alternate version of the humilis version. These clouds are taller than they are fat. You normally see a cumulus humilis cloud at an altitude of 2,000 to 4,000 feet. (600-1,200 m)
Cumulus congestus clouds are the only cumulus clouds that produce substantial precipitation. When you hear someone saying '"cumulus clouds can produce precipitation"', they refer to these clouds. You normally see a cumulus congestus cloud at an altitude of 2,000 to 20,000 feet. (600-6,000 m).
If you want to know what my reference is, it is a book called "Weather", by William J. Burroughs, Bob Crowder, Ted Robertson, Eleanor Vallier-Talbot, and Richard Whitaker.
