how high does your truck sit with X lift

greatskiiiier · 07-03-2009, 11:48 AM

i want to get an idea for how high my truck will sit with a 1,2,3 inch body lift... as it sits its "stock" but the guy i bought it from said theres an AAL in the rear, and from the height of it- i truly i believe i can clear 33" tires with no rubbing at all

i dont want anyone calling me a newb about this- i just want to see what your truck measures from top lip of the rim to the bottom of the fender

i couldnt find many pictures of this, but the only one i found was a "3inch body lift" and my rear sits 1/2 inch higher and my front sits 1/2 inch lower- i checked the body/frame link points and there is nothing in there (so no BL)

Stock height up front is 13.5"-14" rim-fender:

Add an inch to that for each inch of body or suspension lift.

Be prepared for it to ride like a lumberwagon

Get a set of BJ/s , cheap mini lift, not as harsh a ride as the torsion crank. Lumberwagon is being kind.

greatskiiiier · 07-04-2009, 05:02 AM

by going up 7/8? i thought you were safe up to an inch- going in and out of my driveway the truck actually feels a bit more stable

KVRunner · 07-04-2009, 11:55 AM

Any cranking on the torsion bars will stiffen up the ride. Not saying that it is not safe, just saying that it is going to ride alot stiffer. If you buy a set of ball joint spacers you can actually relax the torsion bars a bit which will make for a lot better ride than cranking the torsion bars.

driving the truck today and it feels the same- i even joked to a friend that you guys must only drive BMWs because even after "stiffing up the ride" the truck is smoother than most vehicles that ive driven

I cranked the torsion bars on a dodge dakota I used to have after I got new torsion bar keys. The truck felt no different at first, but after a couple of weeks of driving it I felt that it rendered the truck almost undriveable.

if you crank m, lower your tire pressure a bit (33' tires, 36 lbs )

Is there a stock spec for the rear fender - rim?
