Trying to match this setup.
« on: August 29, 2012, 08:59:01 am »
I know it is hard to say but if you had to guess then what size lift, rims and tires would you say is on this truck. I am thinking it is a 6 inch lift maybe but not sure about the rims/tires.

If that is a body lift someone spent some time making the bumper match, looks like a 6" lift to me, hard to tell on the rim size, but it looks awesome.

Definitely looks like a suspension lift not body,   The 4th gen Camaro in the background has 16" rims, the ones on the truck look a hair smaller so I would guess 15".  Stock tires on the Camaro are 235/60/16 so about 27" height so those on the truck are probably 33/10.5/15

Mine's 8" lift with 35s.  I would say that is 6" lift with 35s and the rims look like 16s based on the proportion of sidewall.  Gonna be a little cozy with the front tire.

31-32 then you have tire wear/16 is more like it. something photoshop is go0d for is telling you sizes of a area. the front hub for example is about 4.5" in real life but the pic im seeing is about .4" and since 3/4-1tons most time have 16 or bigger rims these rims measure about 1.4+ they are about 16",  which means the ratio is 1:11.25 .the highest part of the fender is about 42.75" now i dont have a stock 4x4 around here but if someone would measure theirs the difference should be about the lift height. its hard to see in detail the exact size  but i think its close enough since 3/4 and 1 tons come with 16" or bigger rims

Just went outside and looked at my truck. 3/4 ton with 38s 6" lift its sitting at 48 or so. So withe the 6" tire difference that would put me at 42 with 6" lift

Edit: it was late and i wasnt thinking right but the tire difference is only 3" radius so its more likely a 4" lift
