I'm sure this has been asked a million times before but i'm trying to figure out my lift. That's the problem with pre-lifted trucks.

I can't find any part numbers on the springs or even what brand they are.

There are blocks in the rear that are 3 1/2 but it must be lift springs on-top of blocks because the truck looks a lot larger than that.

It has 35" tires and it doesn't look like there is any body lift on it at all.

What should I measure and where to figure out the lift.

Only measurement I got besides the block is from the top of the rear axle frame straight up to the frame appears to be 16 1/2 inches.

this is the truck in question.... tomorrow I can take pics of front springs, rear springs and any measurements to figure out what lift it is on here.

Measure from the top of the front axle tube to the bottom of the frame, stock is +\-8.5".
 
Looks to be 13.5... so i'm guessing it was a 6" with about an inch of sag?
 
Thanks.... I'm going to yank the blocks and put a shackle flip in the rear so I was trying to figure out what I need. If the block is 3 1/2 will the shackle flip kick the rear end up too much?
 
You may actually have 4" blocks...technically. I have lift blocks on my truck that are tapered, and if you measure one side of the block it will measure 3-1/2", but if you measure the other side it will measure 4".
 
most flip brackets are 4 inches of lift. you can get brackets with less tho and make up the difference in the shackle length if you wanted to. I second you have 4 inch blocks. 4 inch flip will prob work great.
