Hey cruiser Dudes, I am trying to assertain where I am lift wise,, I have read so much on this site about lift realted issues I would like to know what I got, I got the truck with a Battlez rancho 5way combo,, Im not sure how much lift I got from stock, it seems a fair amount, so I made some measurements, these are just average back and front as left and right are not the same they differ by about 10 to 15mm ,, so at the back in front of the rear wheel I got 500mm from the pinch under the rocker to the floor and 470mm in the front behind the front wheel,, TJM winch bar and MM winch, the car unloaded.
Once I know where I am I can decide if I need caster correction I know these are rough figures but surely you suspension gurus can give me some idea

Thanks

Measure your rig from the centre of the hub to bottom of the flare. This seems to be the standard spot to measure your lift as tyre pressure and tyre size is eliminated. Anybody with a stock hieght rig that hasn't sagged any to get some baseline measurements? I want to compare mine to the stock hieght too to figure out my lift hieght.

I'm not sure where you are measuring from but we typically go from the center of the wheels hub to the underside of that fender.

OK,, I measured from hub centre to flair RF 54 cm LF 54.5cm RR 57cm and LR 59.5cm,, I have 285/75 tyres with 2.4 bar tyre pressure, TJM winch bar with MM winch on the front and my fridge in the back right which is not heavy,,

What do you think my lift is

Thanks

IIRC the figure that seems to be the common height of stock suspension US rigs is 20" or about 50.8 cm from hub center to bottom of flare above the hub. (But then we have some big flares standard in the US, maybe you don't?). So that would make it about 2" lift or so overall with some rake?

 

[AllenTenT]

Is this 20" all round ?

Tks

 

[e9999]

yup, mine was 20" all around.

Thanks for the 20" stock hieght measurement guys. Just measured mine 23 3/4". Wooo Hooo 3 3/4" lift, now I know for sure what it is.
