Hello Guys,
I purchased a truck and I am unsure of the amount of lift that it has, I was hoping that somebody could let me know. I took measurements today.
The measurements are from the ground.
To Bottom of the back bumper-26 1/2 inches
To top of rear wheel well- 43 1/2 inches
To rocker panel -22 1/2inches
To top of front wheel well- 43 1/4 inches
To bottom of front bumper- 21 1/2 inches
This measurements are close but not bang on as there was some ice I could not scrap off the ground.
Thank a lot guy.
measurements are not bang on, my tires stick out about 3-4 inches so i got it as close as i could, i was on my driveway which is on an angle, but 90' is 90'
I am running 315/70/17 which are 34.4 by 12.6.
I should be able to subtract the extra lift you get from the 37s by dividing the tire sizes in half and figure it, thanks so much for your help
Thank you very much KDkodi, I really appreciate the time you have put into helping me, that would be great Hokie Diesel as it would take me making calculations out of the equation. Is you truck sitting stock?
Haha I hear you, I traded a 24v with 8 inch lift and 38s, as I thought this truck would be more sensible. Now one of the reasons I am trying to figure out what I have on the truck for lift, is to find out what I have to do, to go bigger
They are pretty simple as they are solid axle. My first 06 gave me no death wobble, this one i battled for a little while to simply find out i had too much toe, and that simple minute adjustment fixed it. They arent as simple to lift as the old leaf sprung trucks, but if you get a good long arm lift, pure performance, carli, thuren, or a good box company like BDS your golden. Im running 6" BDS short arm and 2" spacer, maybe 2.5" inch spacer. I will be making custom long arms this summer though, and even that is pretty simple.
I assume you just bought that pickup. Were you under the impression that it was lifted? I'm thinking it probably has no lift or possibly just a spacer up front. Take a few pictures of the front coil springs and some of the underside of the rear leaf springs where they sit on the axle perches. Also let's get a look at the control arms. It takes zero lift to run 315's.
Just measured mine, and I'd say you have about a 3" lift. All of your measurements are dead on our within a half inch inch to mine and that's what I have.
