    Dumb question to ask a forum because you would think I would be able to look and tell but just curious if anyone has any insight to what size lift my tuck has on it. When I bought it, it came with total chaos upper control arms and toytec coils in the front and bilstein shocks in the rear.
    It obviously sits higher than stock but Im definitely not an expert so just want to see what height the lift may be before buying new tires this week.

    They make tape with numbers evenly spaced on it. Useful sometimes

    Some pictures of whole truck from the side would help.

    The best way to know is by measuring from hub to fender. Then compare that to a stock truck's measurements.

    Just checked it. Looking like around 23” in the front and 24” in rear so I’m thinking it’s 2” all around. Thanks for the advice!

    Couple things to note @Whiteyodder. You have extended studs on the top hats. Likely had a spacer lift at some point, is the only reason someone would install longer studs.

    Your Total Chaos uniballs need some love. Can spray some Tri-Flow or motorcycle chain lube on them and wipe them off.

    Looks like bilstein 5100 shocks. Should be set to 0 with lift springs.

    and toytec coils doing the lift. I thought they only have one coil model that’s approx 2”
    I’d check their website to see what coils they list and try to figure out from there
    They might say a part number

    or measuring FTG compared to stock and matching that height to what spring they sell to know

    If the uniball looks like that the bushings likely haven't been greased in ages.
