Actuall lift height

I just put the Rancho 4" lift with a 1" Daystar spacer in the front, and a 2" lift shackel and 5" block in the rear and am running a 35" tire and have 44 1/2" in the rear and 44 3/4 in the front from the ground to the bottom of the stock Lariat fender flare, and was just curious what some other people have as far as a height.

Measuring should be from the center of the hub to the fender lip. Mine is 28" in front and 27" in the rear. I have no clue as to what size lift is on the truck, as I bought it that way.

Yeah I just figured people that are running 35's could measure this way Id be comparing apples to apples. What tire size are you running Lethal.

Not all 35's are the same and without it being the same tire on the same wheel it's more like apples to oranges

I have a 6" BDS with a AS 1.5" spacer up front and I measure out to 47.5" up front and 47" out back. I have what came with the kit and thats a 5" block and AAL out back. I have 35.1x11.6 Nitto Trails on 20x9 Black Rhino wheels. I just did it like you did and thats what I am at.

I was just under the assumption that if a tire is a 35 it should be close to 35. I am running 35 x 12.5 Toyo OC MT's. How much different are other brands like Nittos or Mickey Thompsons in height then. I will go measure from the center of my wheels to the lip then and post it. That AAl must add some serious height considering Im running a 5" block and a 2" lift shackel in back and Im only at 44 1/2". You got 3 " over me. Sounds like its common after a lift that the back is a bit lower than the front.

I saw an F-150 yesterday that probably had like 63"-64" to the fender flare. It almost looked like I could drive my buddy's Civic entirely under it. It was literally too high to get into without ladder stepsides. I love the capability of these trucks to go as big as you want.

So you have 9" of clearance over your 35" tires?? Ranchos are awesome, they give you the extra travel to conquer bumps with confidence.

In case you dont know, 35/12.50/XX tires have an overall diameter of 35" If your fender was at 35" from the ground on 35s, you would have no clearance from your tires to the fenders. Also, if you put bigger tires on it, the truck will be lifted half the diamter change. AKA if you put 38s on it, your truck will instantly be lifted 1.5 inches. I am sure most know this, just figured I would put this on here just in case.

35s can vary from a little bigger than 34 to closer to 35.5ish depending on tread, brand, etc. and depending on wheel width the tire can measure out taller and more narrow and wider and shorter.

Well I have just about 28" in the rear and 28 1/2" in the front from the bottom of the wheel well lip to the center of my wheels. But I still would like to also know what height off the ground people have considering thats what I see when I compare two trucks next to each other.

I see what you mean pizzaman, I just went out and measured my Toyo's from the ground to the top is 34 1/4". I am running a 9" wide wheel. If I had an 8 1/2" wheel they may stand a little taller. Slorider, yes I have about 10 1/4" between the top of my rear wheel and the fender lip.

Did you piece together that lift? As in buy the 5" block separately? Ranchos dont come with a 5" block I dont think. Otherwise, yeah I dont know why mine is so much higher. It has to be the AAL. Mine sat 1" higher in the back than the front which is why I put the 1.5" spacer in up front. I could have left out the AAL but wanted the extra height.
