OK. I read the "what's my lift" thread and wanted to ask for clarification.
It said 17.5" center hub to flare.
Like this?

I need to get new shocks and want to get the right length.
...as I measure, its a 2.5" lift in front and a 1" in back??? Gonna have to deal with that.

And some longer shocks.

The lift thread said to use the seam as the next best mark.
17.5" front & 17" rear = stock.
.........................
OK. So the front looks like he just went with a bigger coil.
But I'm not sure on the rear... I can see the front is higher ~ I just thought she had a saggy rear :rolleye0012:
So the rear has 5 leafs. 1 looks off... how do I know if he did the 'add a leaf' or did actual new set?

Nate, there are also measurements for the seam if you trimmed your fenders in the thread

So I finally measured my "lift" I did the axle tube to unibody rail... I got 12 1/4" rear and 12 3/4" front.... Stock is 6" rear and 6 1/2 front? Is that correct?

I was just referencing the above link from 4.3LXJ's thread.
It has more detail in it than this thread ~ and he would also have more knowledge than I...

I gave measurements for trimmed fenders too. Use the seam above the flare

Are you talking about body line? Or fender seam?

Body line, or crease

5.5 both front and rear... That means my bumper has dropped my front end 1"... Levels out perfect..
