Default What kind of lift

Hello Everybody,


I'm an ingeneer from Germany and have the luck to be a couple of years for a Project in the US. Yesterday I bought a 2004 F150. Could you help me to verify the type and the high of the leveling?




Many thanks,




Moritz

Looks like a 2-2.5" level. If you grab some measurements from the ground to the center of the wheel well on all 4 corners it would better allow us to assist you.

Agree with tareed.. looks to be a 2" or 2.5" level. a shot of the whole truck would help also.

Yup measure like so ^^^ subtract the front measurement from the rear and you'll have a really close idea.

I agree with all, with the exception of the measuring method. The most accurate way is from the center of the wheel to the fender arch. From the ground up will vary with tire sizes, tread depth, air pressure, etc.

Yup sorry I just borrowed that picture and didn't pay that close attention. I agree center of the hub is better.

Here are some photos about the high between tire central and fender. What do you think?

What's the rear height? No way to know without that as not all trucks sit the same.
