Need measurements of trucks with lifts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GMC-YA68** · 02-05-2015, 04:59 PM

I am trying to figure out if / how big of a lift is on my Jimmy.

Can anyone take a quick measurement from the center of their hub to the bottom of the fender and let me know if they are from a stock height, lifted, etc....

Thanks,

I believe mine has a 4inch lift?? It clears the 35x12.50R17 Toyo Mt's that are on it.

That's a nice stance but I just threw some 33x12.50x18s on mine which clear fine but I was just wanting to replace all the springs for shyts and giggles but had no clue what is on mine. I want to keep my stance. It looks like it at least has a 2" block on the rear pack but not sure if the PO was compensating for OG spring sag... Or?

**GMC-YA68** · 02-06-2015, 09:53 PM

Ok....can anyone measure their stock height at least?

**GMC-YA68** · 02-08-2015, 10:34 PM

Bueler?

**GMC-YA68** · 02-10-2015, 03:59 PM

Does anyone have a tape measure, and a blazer in their garage?

I'll get a measurement of my K5 tonight.

My Jimmy has a 4" Tuff Country EZ ride all spring lift and it is about 28 1/2" from the center of the hub to the fender lip on both the front and the back wheels. Although, my Jimmy is not completely put back together yet so i still have weight to add to it and it has not been on the road yet. I am sure it will settle some yet. I believe that Tuff Country uses 6" springs on the rear axle of their 4" lifts for the Blazers and Jimmys so the back does not sag.

**Yukon Jack** · 02-11-2015, 07:46 PM

I have 4" springs and I have a measurement of 25 1/2" for the front axle from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender.

These are 35'' tires. Suspension 6'' and 3'' body lift. Can't measure as I'm out of town until Friday.

Heres a 6" + 3" body. Take out the 3" body and you have 30" from center of hub to fender lip
