Need measurements of trucks with lifts
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,

Re: Need measurements of trucks with lifts
I believe mine has a 4inch lift?? It clears the 35x12.50R17 Toyo Mt's that are on it.

Re: Need measurements of trucks with lifts
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?

Re: Need measurements of trucks with lifts
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.

Re: Need measurements of trucks with lifts
Heres a 6" + 3" body. Take out the 3" body and you have 30" from center of hub to fender lip
