What size/kind of lift do I have?

richman513 · May 15, 2017

I purchased an already lifted truck. I've done some research to get myself familiar with things but was wondering if y'all can tell me what I have from pictures?

What size tires are those? My guess it's a 6" lift

37" they rub the back of the fender a bit when the wheel is turned all the way.

Could be due to the wheel offset. Is it level? The rear looks higher in the pictures. If it were a full lift, I thought it'd be level.

You can measure the center of the top of the wheel well to the ground to get a height and compare to a stock truck.

I haven't measured from the wheel wells but the rear bumper is an inch higher than the front bumper. The rear was 30" I believe.

I've found out it is a 5" rough country suspension lift kit.

Is this a body lift or is this how it looks stock? Thanks for the help

Those body mounts are stock.

Thank you! Finally a response from this forum. Thought it was dead. So I'm dealing with a 5" rough country lift. I need to do a shock upgrade because they are a bit squeaky.

I'm doing an entire front end over haul on this 03. I have a wander problem for sure. I'm installing the 08.5+ steering linkage, ball joint, unjoints, steering brace. Will update on the complete product. Stay tuned

The 08.5+ steering will make a big difference for you. You will probably need a new steering stabilizer setup with the new linkage. Also might consider freshening up the bushings on your track bar as well (or replace with an adjustable). That all cleaned up my wander almost completely.

Thank you for the reply. I definitely need new bushings all around. I will update when I'm done. I'm going to do new bushings all around.

I got a new bumper off eBay. I'm going to post some pictures in the next few days. I know the 03 is ******* child of a truck but I wanna make it my own. I also bought a bed cover. Can't wait to post some pictures of my work.

Where did you source the new steering? Is there a write up somewhere?
