1. 32x10.50-17 bfg mud-terrains
2. 3'' body lift and 3'' coil spacers
3. Front: 42.5inches Back: 42inches
And this is on my 2wd reg cab.
What size tires could i clear?

 

i have a 06 2wd with a 6 inch fabtech with DL's cranked a little and a 2.5 spacer with 36" tires
i come out to around 48"
ps tires are bald if that matters lol

 

325x60r20 KM2's
6" Procomp w/DL Coilovers cranked 1"
Measures 47"

 

'06 Scab, 4x4, Pro Comp stage 1 lift kit

1). Pro Comp 35x12.50-R17 mud terrains (mostly worn out)
2). Pro Comp 6" (basic lift, no coil-oves or extra spacers) 2" AAL in the rear (my leaf springs are worn from use)
3). 46.25" front 46.75" rear

 

i forgot about this let me run outside

 

alright like 48.25" up front and 49" in the rear
basic pro comp with bilstiens on 2" setting with 325/70/17 nitto terra grapplers
rear has 4" block stacked with 2.5" block with 1.5" add a leaf

 

so what's the verdict? Rancho sits about an inch and half lower than a PC 6" basic w/ no coilovers/spacers/etc...?

 

I don't think there is a verdict to be honest. Only 2 people w/ Rancho's posted and they have different measurements w/ the sae size tire. Different by 7/8"! You can't blame that big of a difference on tires either. Either one of them can't read a tape measure or Rancho doesn't have a consistent lift.

 

i posted this before but no one believed me so i will say it again. it seems that guys who have xlt's gain more lift that guys who had fx4's. but that does figure up in the end, a fx4 does sit about an inch higher so if copenhagen got 4 inches exactly and i got 5'ish, that would make sense.

 

Hmmmmmmmm. I've honestly never heard or thought about that before. Have any theory as to why that is?

 

well i think it has to do with variation of ride height in the 4x4 trucks. if rancho lifted a xlt, like my truck exactly 4 inches, then a guy who had a fx4, who's truck sat an inch higher than mine to begin with, he would only get 3 inches of lift. so what i'm saying if they would have to have different shocks for certain models of truck, which would not be cost effective, 1 shock for all models and you get at least 4 inches of lift. i know that rancho does the same thing for the the new sierra/silverado trucks too, they under advertise the height because of the variations, crew cab max to regular cab v6

 

Atom, I forget what my Rancho measured out to be, but I think mine is much closer to Copenhagen's than yours. I think its at 43.25 or a little higher, which makes sense because according to Mickey Thompson's website the 35" ATZ measure out to 34.5" (compared to the 35" Toyo Copenhagen has.)

I can kind of agree with your theory that XLTs could possibly get more lift than an FX4, but that would be from the starting point... the final dimension should still be the same. If you started off an inch lower than an FX4 and you got 5", and and FX4 got 4" then you should end up with the same measurement. But there is almost an 1" difference after the install, which would mean we got 4" of lift and you got 6" of lift.

The variation has to be coming from something else. I really doubt its from the Rancho lift. As stated earlier in this thread, its difficult to get accurate answers from this taking in account all the possible variations. Another variation that comes to my mind is fender flares... since that's what the measurements are being taken to. XLT's dont have them.... how do the pocket flares compare to the ones found on FX4's or Lariats. Would a measurement to the bottom of the mirror be more accurate?

I haven't had the opportunity to park next to an F-150 with a procomp or fabtech 6" lift installed, but I've passed a few on the road and I think the front end sits a little higher than mine... probably like 2" higher!

 

it could also do with how high the back end of the truck is, if you lift the back taller it will in turn lower nose of your truck, to an extent. If you drop the back end with the front lifted it will be alot taller than a guy with the rear lifted taller.

 

BDS 6"
45 1/2 front
45 3/4 rear

315/70/17 (last time i measured basically a 34" tire)

 

Ran outside and measured mine and came up with;

~42.75" front (26.5 from center of the hub to center of wheel well)
~44 rear (27.5 from center of hub)

This is on a 2WD with 6" Fabtech basic performance lift and 35x12.50 Pro Comp MTs.
