Smile Help determining lift size

I need some help in determining my lift size...

I'm running 35's and I measured the following from the ground to the wheel well;

Front: 44 inches
Rear: 48 inches

What measurements do you guys have?

I am running a 4" lift, and mine is at 44" on all four corners. I am not sure how you got the extra 4" in the back, it could be that they are using a larger block, or a normal block with an all spring lift.

Does your Ex sit level, or is it raked to the front?

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah my Ex has a forward rake. Here's a picture of the rear suspension- the leaf spring block on top is about 2.25" tall- not sure if that's a factory block...

I don't like the forward rake I was hoping to remove the block and still use my Rancho's that were made for the 4" lift.

I am not sure about the shocks, but you should be OK with getting rid of the blocks. I am running 35's on my Ex, and the 4" lift is perfect. Good luck with your project.

Don't know if this matters to you but 6'10" is a standard parking structure height. Mine sits at 6'8" and it was really close. The factory antenna pinged on every crossbeam, too funny.

Interesting on your heights, I just measured mine, and it is sitting right at 7'. There is no way it will fit in my garage, and I will not trust a parking garage unless it is really tall!
