lift measurements..

so I was stupid and didn't get my stock height measurements..

so I bought my 5100 fronts and billies in rear w/ a 1.5- 2 in AAL skyjacker...


buy said the billies were set at 0.85..on stock coils

measurements

PSF 22.5in
DSF 22.5in
DSR 23.25in
PSR 23.25in


does this equal to 2 in lift? and if so.. were the billies really set at 0.85?

 

Look at the bottom of your billies and count how many rings you can see.Where the c clip installs to hold the lower spring seat up. You can see it while its installed on your truck. The bottom ring would be 0", the second .85", third 1.75", and top 2.5".

 

so if I see 1 ring at bottom I am at 0.85?

 

Correct

 

From my stock measurements, you're 2" lifted in the front and 1 3/4" lifted in the rear. Sounds good!

 

Damn if he got 2 inches of lift from only .85 inches of preload I'd love to see how much lift he'd get if he set them at 2.5...

 

well that's what threw me off..lol..and I was just making sure I had it right..

 

Pics of the coil perches ?

 

i'll get them tom... too dark to get w/ cell phone

 

Just curious where the measurements are taken at/from? I think my truck has a small lift and want to know how to check it.

Thanks

 

Center of wheel hub to underside of fender

 

Ah, thanks, would never have thought to measure there, but I see the sense in it.

 

It eliminates tire size difference

 

really hard to take pics at that angles to show the rings





< upside down

 

I would guess you are on at least the third ring up. The lower spring perch is conical and hides a ring or two below the one the c-clip is in.

 

well that makes more sense.. cause no way w/ stock springs I could have a 2 in lift.. set at 0.85.. and would make sense why I had to get an AAL in rear cause I had a pretty good bro lean but figured it was cause of almost flat springs

 

Nice job on the lift. Charles Barkley said your photography skills were meek and "turrible"..

 

i'm out of town and only have a cell phone.. .. it is what it is..
