TT Lift Measurement Help, pppplease?

[wkbogie]

Hey guys, I think the TT bolts were adjusted a little before I bought this truck. Can anyone tell me the safe 2" lifted height from the center of the rim to the fender?
It has 255/70r16 on it now and I want a 2" lift in order to run 32" tires, but I do not trust the PO.

It had bad ball joints when I bought it, so I thought the tires and lift sound natural since it needs n alignment after I replaced them anyway.

Thank you so much for this site!

Stock ST's on 255/70-16 (30.1") tires for 4:10 gearing, ground to fender height should be approximately 34.5" front
and 36.5" rear, plus or minus up to 1/2" side-to-side. Add or subtract one half inch for each full inch of tire diameter.

TT lift height

Thank you!
So after TT, I should have around 36.5" on 255/70r16.

If anyone else has different measurements, please let me know.

Apologies, it was I who misread your post. Correct, after a 2" TT your front height should be "around" 36.5". Keep in
mind adjusting front height affects the opposite rear corner. Front driver higher = Rear passenger lower. Camber kits
and alignment very likely needed for proper alignment. Many choices, 2 degrees should be more than adequate for a
2" front lift. One kit needed for each side, two kits total. Stock rear drivers UCA bolt is a PITA to remove, be patient.
