I could be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken, they figure your tires in with it. Ex. I had an 8" lift from fabteck on my 02. But the rear block they sent was only 5" or so. Not 8" tall. Same with the front leafs, they weren't 8" taller than stock. With that being said, you should be able to measure your truck in stock form, then measure it WITH the lift AND tires on it, and that's what they call xxx" lift. Meaning, if your truck is 8" taller with all the stuff on it, it's an 8" lift.
Again, I could be way off here, and the boys at Truck Toyz will clear all this up. But from past experience with mine, that is what I think.
I dont really know how to word this but, how would you determine how much lift you have if you didnt install the kit? Is there a specific way to do this?
Just kidding man:hehe: I couldn't resist. Probably not as funny as I think it is:doh:
I measure before and after I installed it. Usually don't put the tires on right away so don't need to put that into account. If you do then minus tire difference. I find most quality lift companies will be pretty close to advertised lift but then you have to consider what other acc. you have on the vehicle that might add extra weight.
If your only question really is, "what size lift do I have", Just post up some pictures of your truck with the tire/wheel size, and I bet at least 5 to 10 guys on here will tell you, and be spot on.
It doesn't matter where on the frame you measure to as long as you're consistent. To figure out what the lift size is, you'll need to find someone with a stock f250 or 350 (same or similar year) depending on what you have to compare numbers with.
i'm sure someone on here wouldn't mind helping you out.
Hate to dig up an old thread, but ditched the Dodge a few months back and picked up a 2013 F350. It has the HD front end, and some type of Level/Lift. Currently sitting on 35x12.5 20's.
Was hoping someone had the stock ride height measurements? or could lend a possible guess to how much lift they see?
So to measure lift
I do alot of torsion twist lifts because I work on explorer's/Rangers
Adjusting the front torsion bars will adjust the front ride height, often the adjustment is just to level the truck out either left to right or front to back or both.
I use masking tape on the lip of the fender well. On an explorer I set the tape at 31" from the ground. Tape measure right down the center of the hub at a right angle to the ground
Draw a line on masking tape at 31", crank t bars until measurement is 32" or whatever, bring the other side to read the same
Best way to measure actual before and after lift, whether its body, suspension or tires is at the fender, center of the wheel hub.
Measure before, measure after. Drive for 500 miles measure again. New suspensions SETTLE, some of them ALOT
So if you get an alignment after a lift is installed, make sure they include a free or cheap toe/camber adjustment in the original price
I need a panhard dropplate put on my
four-wheel drive f250 that's has a lift kit on it but not sure what size lift it has how do I determine the panhard drop plate not knowing what lift it is
Exactly the wayS mentioned above. The only reason to dig up an old thread like this is so you can READ IT.
