How high?

uplandhawaii · Jan 25, 2012

Hi guys, just bought this 2500, its got a mixed bag of lift parts and I'm trying to figure my lift height. Hub to fender front is 32" rear is 33". Ground to fender is 48" front and 49" rear. Its got 35" ProComp AT's on 16X10 wheels.

I know it has a big coil spacer on it, looks lie 5-6", I'm guessing my springs are around 3". It also has a long arm set up of unknown brand.

Anybody got stock hub to fender measurements for the 2500 5.9?

bump for ya

That is one HUGE spacer!

Stangshcky12 · Jan 25, 2012

I don't have stock but I have an 05 with 35x12.5x17 and a 2" level that's just over 43" from the ground to the lip of the fender flare (43 1/4" I believe)
I can't remember hub to fender off the top of my head

Or compare from ramhunters numbers, he has a 5" lift and 35 and is at 45.5"

Thanks for the #'s Stang, I'm looking to lose the big spacer and maybe run a 1 or 2" one instead. That'll bring me down to around 4-5" I think. If ramhunter is is 45" I'm at 48" now swapping the spacer should get me close to his #'s.

Can anybody tell me what long arm kit I have? Looks like a Fabtech but I'm not sure.

i have a 5" lift on my truck and 33" tires and im no where near that tall im sure with 35s i would rub tire on the fender i all ready hit my mud flaps now at full lock and i think i catch some thing solid like the frame or some thing else up front

Rogan68 · Jan 26, 2012

I was looking at the LA setup in the pics, and can't really make it out (brand-wise.) I know it's not an Iron Rock, and most of the FabTechs I've seen, usually have the bushing-end of the arms gusseted. not to say this couldn't be an earlier rendition.

those front coils look awful skinny wire diameter, too, after looking at my 2500's front coils.

rambob · Jan 26, 2012

atleast 8" lift judging by those fender measurements.

wermbang · Jan 26, 2012

I agree with the 8, since its a long arm too

uplandhawaii · Jan 26, 2012

Yeah I'm thinking at least 8 or 9" I measure the spacer at almost a full 6", the arms are not gusseted and have bushings at both ends. I can't find any markings on it. I'm thinking the coils are not stock but some cheapy 3" lift coils. It rides smooth enough and it doesn't have any handling problems. It just sits a too high for 35's, and I don't plan on going any bigger in tire size.

I really need to find the hub to fender #'s for a stock truck. I'm going to ask some guys a work, a few of them have 2500's.

Hawii Look

Upland... I am surprised you aren't rockin the super wide Hawaii look... I think your truck would look sikk with some 22x14's on 35" Toyo MT's...Here is some inspiration:

Rogan68 · Jan 26, 2012

Best I can do for you, at the moment... (measurements are in mm. Ex. 279 mm = 10.9842 ")

1 millimeter = ~ 0.04 inches

Okiespaniel · Jan 26, 2012

I would say its not a Fabtech. Old Fabtechs are "psuedo long arms" like skyjacker. They relocate the lower arm but the upper has brackets that bolt to the differential.
I wonder if its and old style .... what the heck is it...crap! Brainfart!

BRB... I'll find it!

It looks like Trailmaster long arms... but it looks like you have cam adjusters in the back mounts. Is that correct? I know they used a non parrallel long arm kit on thier 4 inch lift but I haven't seen one in many years.

Is that a cast aluminum or Steel spacer? *** do you hava pic of the trackbar set up?

Sweet thanks! Gonna go measure it and check my #'s.

That spacer is a nylon block, like a body lift spacer. Yes it has cam bolts and here is a pic of the trackbar set up. Coming from XJ/ZJ 's I'm familiar with the front end just unsure of the lift.

SUL73NAZ, yeah I'm a bit old for that style, I don't want johnny law to hassle me. A lot of toyota guys are finally switching over to less wide rims now that enforcement is being carried out. A wide tire ticket runs $179 per tire, if the cop wants to hit you for all four he can. I can think of much better use for that money! Plus I use my truck for hunting and fishing, the wide rims would get killed and my tires would be shredded. :superhack:

SUL73NAZ · Jan 27, 2012

Yeah I know plenty about getting tickets for driving a custom vehicle... I got ticketed multiple times for not having mud flaps and having limo tint on my front windows... finally got tired of it and pulled my tint off and installed mud flaps

cant win!

uplandhawaii · Jan 27, 2012

You know that bro, they'll fine us and finally impound us if we don't tow the line.

Rogan68 · Jan 27, 2012

Not knocking your truck, but you're right. That is a hodge-podge lift.
