Looks awesome! Is it possible you netted 5" because the lift gives you 4 and the 35 gave you 1"? Assuming you put the 35's on with the lift.

Measuring from the center of the hub to the fender will give you the true suspension lift. Measurement from the ground to the fender includes the impact of the tire diameter increase to the overall height. Per my measurements from hub center to fender yielded 5" of true lift. From the ground to fender was about 6 3/4" of total height gained with the 35" Toyo AT2.

For you guys that have the rancho lift, do you know exactly how big the rear block is that the lift comes with? I'm trying to figure which 4 lift will make my 09 6.5 bed sit level.

Awesome thanks! I've seen a couple different posts regarding the rear block, but I don't think anyone has actually measured exactly.

It was kinda tough to measure because of stuff in the way and the block tapers a bit but it looks like 4 5/8in. Maybe someone else can measure theirs and double check me. But it does appear to be a smidge more than 4.5in. Hope this helps.

I'm not with my truck at the moment to measure, but my recollection is the Rancho block is about 4 3/4" and the factory block is about 1 3/4" so there is a net lift of about 3" which combined with the front lift gives a very leveled result front to back, no rake.
