How to tell how high a lift?
 

I'm looking at a second gen truck tomorrow...the guy says there are 35s on it and pro comp shocks, but he has no idea about the lift as the previous owner did it. I really don't want to buy a truck over a 3" lift. Is there a way to tell? What is factory on 31s from the floor to the top of the wheel well? I'm just a bit skeptical cause the guy seems to want top $$$ for the truck based on its appeareance, and he doesn't seem to know anything about it's history.

well its a good chance its a bracket lift and im pretty sure most are 4" of lift, i could be wrong but thats what most people have with that kinda lift. also if its a nice truck i wouldnt shy away from it cause a 4" lift either. ive driven acouple pickups with that much and they handled very well.

you have any pictures of the truck?

Could be a body lift, could be a suspension lift. If you had photos of the truck I could help more.

True. If the bumper looks like it sits a few inches lower than the body then it's a body lift. The body lift, lifts the body up above the frame.
