04-08 Suspension lifted truck come in and grab a ruler
Alright this has been talked about several time and let's get the guys who are running full suspension lift to chime in and give their specs and the measurement from the ground to the front of the front wheel arch. i wanna know if the rancho is almost 6 inches or what's the real deal. everyone who's lifted should post their measurements just to see the comparisons.
1.tire size.
2. suspension brand (include if you got a spacer, cranked coils, or bilsteins)
3.your measurment
1. 35x12.50-20 ProComp Extreme AT's
2. 4" Rancho
3. 44 3/8"

You can't really do it that way to be honest because every tire has a different height measurement. Some 35's are really 35's and some are 34's etc.... On top of that the height decreases with wear, obviously. You have to take the measurement from the center of the hub to the top center of the wheel well to get an accurate suspension height.
Mine is from center of hub to top of wheel well is at 33" rear and 32.5" front with an 8" Rize(really 8.5") and King's cranked 2" and customNational leaf's in the rear. It measures 51 1/4" in the front and 51 3/4" rear roughly from ground to top of wheel well because the 38's are really closer to 37 1/2".
I'll post pictues tomorrow when i get it out of the shop.

As soon as the weather gives in I'll try to get some measurements and pics.

yea aint going to get 100% accurate meaurements, but close enough. hence why i said give the specs of your tires, so if you wanted to go look up the actual height.

I measured mine after some changes to the plan....
My Kings are cranked a bit and the front is sitting at 49 1/2". The rear is all leaf right now is sitting at 50". That's partly due to the fact that even though the tires are inflated properly they only measure 37" even and not 37 1/2" like they claimed and definitely not 38" like they read. I'll be installing a block here soon and cranking the Kings a bit more to net me about 51" all around.
