rear lift springs and towing

mini_mull said:
I'm curious, do you know how much lift you actually got, maybe a measurement from the hub to the fender (if uncut) or the axle tube to the frame front and back?

Front from the middle of the hub to the uncut fender is 26 1/2" and the rear (also uncut) is 25 1/2"

Thanks, Dave, that clears up a lot of questions for me. Right now I'm 24" in the front and 22" in the back. So I guess that'd give me 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" for a perfect height level ride. I'll plan on ordering the TC 4" all spring lift as soon as I have my own garage to install it in. I can't wait to work on my own burb in my own garage with my own tools. :D (in the duplex we've been living in we're not allowed to do any auto work or even wash our cars. :frown1: ) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for mid to late July, since we'll start looking for a house the first of June. :D Then I'll order the air helpers later, before I tow anything too heavy. Thanks to everyone for all the info and advice. :grin:
 
I just went out and measured my burb (just for my own knowledge) and my front is 28-1/2" and the rear is 26-1/2" from uncut fender to center of hub. I'm running 4" ranchos and a custom tapered shim with 1" lift up front and in the back stock 3/4ton springs, 1" zero rate and 4" tapered blocks. And sitting on level ground, the rear is actually 1/2" higher than the front......go figure.
