2012 stock height

If you're leveled with a spacer on top of the front shocks it's easy to just measure that. If it's lifted with new springs that's a little tougher. Height seems to vary a bit depending on tires, load, how old the springs are...

I thought if I measure center axle to top of wheel well and then did the same to my truck the difference should be the lift.

Yeah, except for weight and sag. I've got a heavy bumper and winch that settle down the front end for 1/2" or so. Most lifts on these trucks are 3", some are 6", or you can go really crazy if you want...

Do your springs have a manufacturers name or stock number on them?

I really think its a 4in. Just not certain

Here are the measurements for my 2012 at stock height (measured from the ground to the fender):

Front: 38 7/8"
Rear: 42"

That's 100% stock suspension on the stock wheels and tires (31.5" tall). When you measure yours find out what your tire size is then subtract 31.5" from your tire height and divide that number by two. Subtract that number from your total height (ground to fender) and then subtract 38 7/8" from that number. That will tell you what your front lift height is.

For comparison sake here's my numbers from ground to top of wheel well:

Front: 42"
Rear: 42.5"

I have 35" tires, a 2" leveling spacer in the front, and a very heavy steel bumper with winch in it.

I think the OPs idea of measuring from center axle rather than ground would eliminate tire size as a variable?

Thanks I will check this against mine

Yes it would. But from what I've seen most guys measure from the ground to the fender (myself included). Those are the numbers I had saved in my phone... didn't feel like going out and remeasuring.

Well measured it and have
45 front
46.5 back

What size tires are on your truck?

They r 315 tires on 17 wheels..

What's the aspect ratio? That's what determines the tire height. On the side of the tire it should say 315/?/17. The number where the "?" is the important one to determine height.
