Got an odd question I asked in another thread but this place is more appropriate I think.

 

If I lift my truck 4" will the truck actually stand a true 4" higher or is there some sort of "settling" that takes place and it may sit lower?

 

I'm trying to figure out exactly how tall my truck will stand.

 

Stock it is 74" then if I add 35's (that is 3.5" taller than my current tires), then a 4.5" lift the truck should stand 82" high...is that correct or am I addding something wrong?

 

Just bought a new sierra, debating on lvl/33's or 4.5" lift/35's for garage fitment. Garage is 80-81" high.

 

Thanks!

Exact height could vary depending on wheel width and how much air you run in the tire. I can tell you with a 6" Lift and 35's I clear my garage just fine with a 7ft door.

Any chance u know the exact height to the top of your truck(shark fin)?

My trucks front fenders was 36 inch stock. A 2 inch rcx level raised it to 38 inches and a 2 inch taller tire raised it to 39.

You have to remember you split the tire height difference in half.

That being said I took the level out. Using the same tire I put in and rcx 5 inch kit. My front fenders now sits at 42 3/4 after settling. That means I got 5 3/4 inches out of a 5 inch kit. You can't trust what they are claiming the lift size to be.

I even emailed rcx because of lift laws around here and stated it was true 5 inch kit. Before settling it was 6 1/4 inches higher. I sat in the bed of my truck and my wife drove it out of the garage. I clear the 7 ft door by maybe 3 inches

My truck is 81" to the fin.

Would it be possible for you to take a shot down the side so I can see how far they stick out? This is the same setup I am looking to get, but am unsure of how far they will stick out.

Here ya go.

Here ya go.

 

Perfect! Thanks a lot. They don't stick out as far as I thought.

Yeah not terrible, but I picked up a pair of fender flares for mine. Going to install them this weekend. They definitely stick out enough to chuck some big rocks at the side mirrors, lol.

Gentlemen,

 

I'm in the market for a lift on my 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 and wanted to see if anyone has used the 4.5" Zone suspension lift with 33's yet? I tried looking thru the entire thread but 149 pages is pretty extensive. My last truck was a 2011 Silverado with a 3.5" X 1.75" suspension lift on 33's. I had the 20" x 9" KMC XD Cranks with zero offset running 305/55/R20 Trail Grapplers and ran into some rubbing issues turned in reverse. That being said, I was hoping the 4.5" would help with that. I haven't decided on the wheel just yet, but i do know I want to continue with the same tire as before. Any suggestions on offsets that would fit for possibly a 20" X 10" at most.

 

Lift I am considering;

Also, the lift on this page states "All wheel drive models require drive line modification"???????

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Alright question of the day...

I know that a 35/12.5R20 fits on a stock wheel with a 6'' lift, but will a 37"?

It might,

 

I saw a sierra a few days a go with a procomp lift on the stock AT wheels running 37s....probably rubs like a mofo ...I didnt ask the guy but man it looked sick. Didn't have my phone on me to take a picture.
