What size lift?

Squatch · Sep 12, 2012

Hey Y'all,

I got my truck a few months ago and it had the lift kit and I'm trying to find out what size the lift is. Does anyone know a way that I could find out without having to take my truck to a shop? Any help with this would be great.

Thanks

re: your ?

Is it a body lift or suspension?

its a Suspension lift that the truck has.

Take a tape measure go front the ground up to the center of the wheel well on the fender front and back then measure the same spot on the same style truck that has stock suspension then jut figure the difference between the two

Measure the block that is above the leaf springs in the back. 4in block equals 6in suspension lift.

Please post with your findings. If measuring the distance from the ground you also have to take into consideration the tire size. Some truck may sit shorter if they have 31's compared to 35's.

Okay after measuring the block. I found it to be 3", so I'm taking that is is a 5" left on the truck? All so wail i was measuring I found that the rear drivers side seem to be sagging by 1 1/2" or 3" depending on where I measured. I have new Tires and measured 4 different points on the rear axle and it was the same all the way across and I am not sure what to look for to find out why.

Theres no such thing as a 5in lift, unless it was custom. If I recall, my 6in lift has 3-4in blocks. So what may be what you have. But if anything you probably have a 4-6in lift, which will fit anywhere from a 31 to a 35 inch tire. Your sagging issue may be due to worn out shocks.
