Lift Size Question
Hi I think i remember reading where someone measured from the center of thier hub to the bottom of their fender and came up with 32" inched on a 4 + 3 lift and he measured 31" inches on a guy with a 8 " lift . So i got curious and measured mine and I came up with 30" on a 4" procomp lift. Seems a little wierd =S
Just wondering what you guys measure?

Also i was looking a pic of a superduty with a 6.5 lift on it and the bumber still hid the front axel. Looked wierd cause on mine you can see the whole axel a few inches below the bumper.

Lift Size Question
A better measurement (that I have quite a few of ) would be to measure from the axle tube (passenger side, front axle, next to the spring perch) to the frame rail (next to the bumpstop).
On a 4" I'd say you should probably be around 11.5-12" axle tube to frame rail.
FWIW, just to compare, on different brands and trucks with 8" lifts I got measurements anywhere from 15.5-17.75" axle tube to frame rail.
Hope this helps.
