mine? yes, im 99% sure, lol how would i tell?
and ya, thats the exact math i was doing, i think something off on his, but i also just realized, we both have the older body style, he has the newer, maybe the fender is different and sits higher?
i doubt it but maybe, more than likely he just measured wrong lol
lol, i like how between you and me we have 8 posts in this thread alone in only an hour

oh yeah the 92's fenders are quite different from ours. only way to tell that though for sure is get 92Toy to measure his. he's not lifted either.

my 94 measured roughly the same as my truck now so i really think that he just measured wrong (if youd like take a look at my "post your height with x lift" thread from last year

the only thing is it looks as though using my math your still like 3-4" lower than you should be as well. seems like your saying your at 15" when you should be at like 18-19.

im not lifted at all, i never touched the front, only raised the rear back up to what i thought was stock (height of the front) which took the procomp AAL under the 2nd to top leaf spring and a 1" block

oh ok thought you were trying to match his setup and had the same BJ/AAL w 3" body lift. just remember I believe the rear fenderwells are actually physically lower than the front fenderwells. ie not cut as high. by how much I don't know. I don't have a factory bed.

^^^^^ lol see noob. hahahah
it seems level because the bottoms of the fenders are. some people like them raked a little though, otherwise alot of other trucks would not have "leveling" kits.

so people like the look of the front sitting higher? i like the rear sitting higher since its a pickup truck and thats how it should it, right now my rear is like .25 higher than the front, before the front was like 3" higher than the rear

i think most people like the rear higher or level. the guys running a snowplow or something are gonna want the front a little higher though in order to level out the truck when the plow is put on.

technically yes. to level out the frame to factory specs the rear would "appear" lower because the bottom of the rear fender is cut smaller/lower. what I don;t know is by how much. only way to tell is to measure from a body line.
my BMW is real bad for that because the rear fender is like cut 2-3" lower so it actually looks like the car is squatting in the rear because the fender is almost level with the tire. And the front has like a 2-3" gap between the fender and the tire.

thats funny because when i bought my 94 the rear sat and inch taller than the front and they guy said he put an AAL in it, so he must have thought the same thing, either way, 33s on a stock height compact truck is pretty cool

yeah, but see I am not too sure if a 33X12.50 would actually fit on mine without rubbing. Possibly a 33X10.5. not a whole lot of room up front with my 31's at full stuff and full lock. could just be back spacing though. I don't know and can't afford a set of 33's right now to try it. lol

if you're ever in or near Oswego, NY you can try my shoes on for size
I havent been off road yet or flexed at all to see how my suspension does fully compressed with the 33s but they do rub at full turn on the street as is

just measured my (lift) again, and im pretty sure the ground wasnt level because i kept getting diff measurements for EVERYTHING and apparently all 4 corners are diff lmao, but all said and done, based on the front being 13" stock, the front of my truck is lifted 2" and the rear, based on body lines, is lifted 3-3.5"
