Height question

[Jak259]

Just wondering why my 14 qc 4wd sits higher in the front than my neighbors 13 crew 4wd. Anyone know if anything changed suspension wise in those years? My old 05 had a rake to it and I kinda liked it. It was 2wd though. This is a little lower in the front but not like my neighbors or my 05. Thanks

Just curious, but what package are we talking? Sport, Bighorn, etc.? I think this has some effect on that. I know my Sport was so low in the front I couldn't crawl under it to change the oil without jacking it up. Well, before I leveled it anyways.

That's true. My sport had 3.5" of rake

Mine did too. Was insane. People are like, I love how your truck sits. I was like, not me I'm puttin' it up in the air, lol.

Mines an express. Gotta check what the neighbors is. What are you measuring, from ground to wheel well?

Everyone measures wheel wells, but not really accurate if one of you has flares and the other doesn't.

Thanks. Yeah neither has flares. I think his is a bighorn but not sure. I'll check when he gets home. Meanwhile I think I'll measure mine cause I'm curious what it is.

I'd be surprised if your Express is higher than a Bighorn. Never know though.

Well I'm measuring rear 40 1/4 front 36 3/4. Front ground to center of wheel well. Damm that seem like a lot but it don't look it. Oh well maybe it's just me lol

How much higher? They're on the same suspension platform (unless one has the air suspension??), but there are lots of reasons for it that would make sense
-QC is lighter than CC
-Express is lighter than Big Horn
-The '13 has had more time for the stock suspension to sag

3.5" is what I had. Sounds about right. I guess the Express is set up similar to the Sport.

Well neighbors is a sport. I didn't measure it but the specs on his overall height is 75.5. Where my spec says 77.7. So it's not the rake it's just overall higher. Don't know why they mDe the 14's higher. I liked that 2 inch difference better. Oh well at least I'm not going crazy

I'm guessing you watered your truck and it grew, lol. Well hey, you have the bigger truck if that's ever a debate.
