Question Need 4" lift info - 2014 4x4

Can you guys please post the measurements front hub center to top of wheel well dimensions, for your 2014 4x4s with 4" lifts?

Also say what brand lift please.

Thanks for the help guys


I am trying to get an idea of how much higher my truck will sit from from where it is now, if I go this route, or if I still want to just do a Halo lifts Boss install @ 2.25" upfront.

Currently I have a 1.5" level, from the dealer.

You would think, I still would like the measurement's just to get an idea. Some lifts net 5-5.5" on that measurement, but are called 4" lifts. I would like to know what people are getting with the RC lift. No one really posts their measurements up, so it it isn't exactly the easiest thing to find.

I want my truck lifted but if it is going to be too high for my wife to put my son in the car seat, I will not get it.

Not a 4wd so my measurement won't help but I can say this, I can boost my self into my truck fairly easily with no running board but having the amp power boards makes access inside easy even for my 5' 80yo mom. Very sturdy and I use them sometimes to reach the roof with ease or to load groceries etc...

You may want to factor that in the over all cost of the lift kit because your wife will likely need them to do what she wants safely and confidently.

With that stated my 2wd should be close to 2" shorter than your 4wd.

I just measured my truck. I have a 4" BDS lift and 35"x12.5" and my truck sits at 44" from the ground to the wheel well.Front and back. Hope this helps!

That has crossed my mind actually, I know the amp boards hang lower than the factory FX4 ones I put on mine.

I want the lift, but am also just considering the Halo Boss Kit w/ Icon UCAs, right now, that way if I change my mind I will have, some good coilovers and shocks for the lift. I am more worried about the CVs with the boss lift though.

They deploy out and down better than 4"


Love the ambient lighting that comes with them as well, makes it easy to see what you might be stepping into before you do lol.

Going by Steelehead's measurement my 2wd sits exactly 2" lower with the same size tires.

Center of hub to fender is 25" so add 2" to that and you have your measurement.
