How do I tell how much lift I have?

[chrisd0729]

Bought the truck with a lift and tires already installed.
How can I tell how big the lift kit is?

Measure axle tube to frame.
Stock is
7" front
6" rear.

Measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame. Stock should be about 7". Anything over that is your lift amount.

Great thanks for the quick replies. It's exactly 11" so it looks like a 4" lift.
Thx again

Can you tell who's lift you have?

Excellent photo by the way.....haha...I wasn't doubting your measurements Bud.
I was looking for coils spring color or design and shock type to determine the vendor it may have come from.

That photo of your measurement gave me a real chuckle.

Ahhh... ha ha... definitely misunderstood the question. I was kinda chuckling when I thought you were asking for a pic of the measurement!
Looks like a Rancho system - it has Rancho shocks (springs are painted body color)

I bet you are right. Probably Rancho.
That's good since anything you change to will be an improvement in ride quality.
All of the vendors here at CB sell really soft springs and great shocks.
The Rancho set up is known to be a little stiff.
But it is fine and stout. Have fun and play with it a bit just know that now you are here you will have a lot of suspensions to choose from and plenty of great advice to get you where you want/need to be.

Have fun. Good luck.
