Title: Actual Wheel Arch height with 4inch Lift
Post by: Edemich on May 06, 2015, 03:54:39 pm

Looking for some measurements guys.  Trying to determine if my try I will fit in the garage after the lift is installed.  I realize there wil be a range based on tire sizes and actual lift kits used.  So hit me up with the middle of the wheel arch on the front fender height above ground please. 

My truck is on jack stands in the garage going through a front end surgery for ball joints, tie rods, spindles, etc.  So my pan is to see how close my current fender height would be based on a lift because it fits in the garage nice right now. 

More background for you: the rear 4" springs from tuff country have been installed and I jacked the truck level.  It looks like it will fit but I am curious what a range of heights would be for a 4" lift.

Thanks everyone!

I've got 4" Rough Country springs all the way around. General 35x12.5x15. Just measured and from the ground to the center of front fender well it is 45" to the bottom of the arch. From the ground the the top of the cab is 80" +/-1". Hope this s helps
