Answer a tire argument please.
If you have 31" diameter tires on your truck and you switch them out to 35" diameter tires how much higher will your truck sit?

A little less than 2" as the tire won't be perfectly round with weight on it.

2inches if 31's also have weight on them...lol.... Also 35's depending on tire, manufacturer etc can be from high 34's to mid 35's if you want to be more precise.

I am saying there is an exact 4" of difference in tire diameters. I would get 2" of lift right?

Can you believe a known forum "expert" is telling me you only get 3/4" maybe 7/8" from a 4" taller tire.

Oh NO! It's illegal and immoral to tell a lie on the Interweb. Doesn't happen.

When it's an "expert" and worshiped vendor it's not suppose to happen.

All things being literall. Yes its 2" taller
When you said "vendor" it kinda eliminated a particular member here that has an ex v10 that I think has a very flawed sense of reality some times.

Where does that expert say the other 3 1/8" to 3 1/4" goes?
That would be an interesting explanation to hear.........
