Need someone with 2.5" skyjacker and a tape measure

If you have the 2.5" skyjacker lift I could use a hand. Would you measure the distance from the center of the axle (say at the hub) straight up to the bottom of the outer fender for me. Front and rear measurements would be great.

Thanks in advance!

For more details of what i am working on see this thread.

If you have the 4'' I would be happy to see those numbers too. It would give me a point of reference.

Thanks,

Matt

Re: Need someone with 2.5" skyjacker and a tape measure

I've got 26" front and rear (without the hard top on). Never had any problems with 33X12.5 tires on 10" rims. The other thing I did to help out stability was to add a front sway bar.

Re: Need someone with 2.5" skyjacker and a tape measure

So Mike is that the 2.5" or the 4" lift?

I come up with 26 and 27 in the rear on my current lift which is 4 and more like 6+ in the back.

Re: Need someone with 2.5" skyjacker and a tape measure

Thanks again. Hmmm Really makes me wonder what the heck I have going in mine. There are definatly 4" inch blocks and non factory springs in the rear. And the 6 leaves up front leave little doubt that they are non factory lift springs.

No matter, I put the deposit down on a 2.5 so I will see where I end up.
