Default How Much Of A lift Do I Have ?

i was always wondering how much of a lift my truck really has.

i bought the truck just how it is,
all i did was add the wheels and tires. 35s

i have 1 and a half inch spacers on there and i have no rub or anything.

here are some pictures.
how much of a lift do you think i have ?

measure from the top of the wheel well and to the ground, then compare with someone else on here who has a comparable truck, it looks like a 2.5" lift or so to me.

The technically correct way to to measure a fixed point on the lower suspension arm to a point on the frame. But for what your looking for just pick a point on the truck and measure to the ground then compare like f150cam said

Theres no way hes running 35's with only a 2.5in lift... I will be happy if I can barely squeeze 35's under my 4in lift.

lol i guess ill look into measuring and stuff.

i noticed my rear has two block lifts.but havnt measured how much yet.
i wanted to do the suspension on the truck again after doing my three inch body
so wanted to know where i was at.

because if im at 2.5 or 3 i will upgrade to 4in if not to 6in depending
how much the body actually does.

It's not safe to have 2 blocks stacked.
