Lifted/leveled + fender measurements

[Travis1024]

Hey All - I'll start by saying I've combed through hundreds of threads about level/small lift kits. I've seen random posts of people asking for fender measurements, but haven't come across a thread really dedicated to it.

 

Hoping I could start this one up and people could chime in with their setup (i.e. tires/lift size), including pictures AND fender height measurements.

 

I'll start with my current setup:

2016 Silverado z71 short box

Front - Bilstein 5100 set on 3rd notch w/ 1" top spacer

Rear - Bilstein 5100 w/ stock 1.25" block replaced with readylift 2.25" 

33x12.50r20 w/factory wheels + Bora 1.75" wheel spacers (slight fender liner rub at full turn)

Fender measurements are 39.75" front/ 40.75 rear

 

I'm planning on moving to the superlift 3.5" kit, so I can utilize the new moog UCAs and diff drop and keep my bilsteins.

Love that anniversary blue! It's funny how these trucks work. The 3rd bilstein setting states "average lift" 1.26, so logic would say, I'm technically 2.26" front. We also have the same 2.25" block in the rear. 

 

Your's should technically be close to .5" taller than mine in the front, and the same height in the rear, yet mine sits roughly 1" higher all around. Maybe I got more out of my 5100 than advertised? Maybe slightly different components from the factory? Who knows. Virtually unnoticeable difference, but still interesting haha.

Yeah. I measured a stock Centennial on the dealer lot and another I came across at work. They both measured about Rear - 39 1/4 ; Front - 36 1/2. So the ReadyLift rear block didn't get me the full 1" lift I was expecting (39.25 -> 39.85) (might be because I now store about 200lbs of stuff in a rear box), and the Fox coils that advertised a 2" leveling, gave me closer to 2.5" (36.5 ->39). Which is why I actually got the rear block, since it sat "a tad too level". The measurements also seem to change 1/4" just based on when/where I measure them. 

If I do it again or wear out the Foxes, I want closer to 40-41 all around.

Yeah I’m definitely with you there. Everything really is a guessing game. Ive got the same readylift block and I dont think I got the full 2.25” either. I’ve also heard of people with bilsteins on the top level that “should” get 1.77” getting closer to 2”. I think 41-42” is the sweet spot to fit 33x12.50 without rubbing.
