    OK, how do you tell if your truck is lifted or is stock height?? Is there a simple measurement between axle/frame or something similar.

    I know with my '68 Bronco it is something like 7" in front and 6" in rear between top of axle and bottom of frame. Very simple to tell if lifted (and by how much) or not.

    THANK YOU, guys!!!

    Just Google stock height and see if it's higher than that. Haha for second gens it's from the center of the wheel to the fender so I assume it's the same for third gens but idk

    Or something easier take pics of the front suspension such as the strut then a picture of the back suspension such as the leafs and see there it's a block or an extra leaf then post it here and we can easily tell ya

    I’d just look at the suspension. Do you see stock shocks, spacers/blocks, a stock leaf pack or added leaf springs? That seems like the most reliable way to tell. Measurements can vary a little between instances.

    How do you know they are stock shocks/struts and leaf packs??

    I understand the 'add-a-leaf' and spacer blocks.

    Ask someone with a stock truck your year and model to measure from the wheel center to the fender lip perfectly vertical.

    Then measure yours.

    Using the wheel center takes the wheel/tire package out of the equation.
