what size lift do i have?

I bought a 2008 f250 and it had a lift already on it.....its a skyjacker lift and the truck has 33" tires....but I don't know if its the 4" or 6" lift....I has room for 35s but I have a buddy with a 2003 Chevy HD with a 6" and 35s and his sits alot higher than mine does...is there a way to tell what size lift my skyjacker is?

I tried to upload a pic but couldn't get it to work from my phone

Pics would help a lot, but it can't have much lift if your buddy's Chevy is higher. A guy at my work has a stock 02 2500HD and it would need about 4" of lift just to sit level with my truck, which is also stock.

You can easily run 33s on these trucks with no lift at all, and 35s with just a leveling kit.

kinda sounds like a leveling kit a chevy shouldnt be way bigger if you had a 4 you should be right around the same height as a chevy with a 6 inch

hard to tell with the pictures but the best possible way to tell will be crawl underneath the truck. and if its lifted it will have drop brakets at the sway bar exstended pitman arm and drop brackets on the radius arms also youll have larger blocks in the rear. measure your brackets and thatll tell yah
btw real nice looking truck

On a 250 the stock blocks are roughly 2". (Actually like 1 7/8 I believe)

looks like a leveling kit in there..

a SD with a 4" kit is WAYYY taller then a chevy. with a 6" kit ur SD becomes a monster in terms of height esp with 35" or taller tires.

I have a leveled truck with 35s and is shorter than yours, I would guess you have a 3-4" lift

side note, my buddy had a 2004 Chevy 1500 with a 6" lift and 35s, and my leveled f250 with 35s was taller than his truck by an inch or two... he traded it for a stock 2011 ram 1500 the bottom of my door is 13" higher than the bottom of his door haha..

What size life do I have....



Rear




Another of rear






Stabilizer in front


I think its a 4 inch in the back and a 3 inch leveling kit in the front.


What do you guys think?


I put air bags on it (Airlift 5000s) to help with the load of my 3000 lb plus truck camper on the back and now the camper/bed is floating on the bags alone like the shocks and leafs are not even there.


I need to figure out what to do here. I think Rancho RS9000XL shocks all around will fix my suspension problems. Thing is I don't know which ones to buy. I didn't think I had a lift till I install those airbags.


HELP


2001 Ford F350 XLT Super duty 7.3 Liter Diesel with a 1998 Coachman Ranger 115SL on the back.
