There are bigger trucks on here 2nd gens but they never stay, they get info and leave.



Yeah I think it would be 2"-3" but not much more. I can get some numbers off my truck if you tell me where to measure from so you can compare.
Yeah I remember when I first registered on the forum seeing pics of a huge blue 2nd gen.

I did to the bottom of the quarter panel (or bed of whatever) in the rear, bottom of the front bumper where the air dam used to be (not sure if you have it), and to the bottom of the fender flare in the middle, front and rear.

Also what tires do you have? And how tall do they measure to be? I know some tires claim a certain height but aren't.

Oh, and an extra pic of the truck. Just so I can say I'm contributing to the thread lol.

Yeah my mom is 4'11" and refuses to try to get in my truck :roflsquared:
Just a tiny hop to get in.
Same
I'd need steps. I wouldn't be able to drive right now if my truck was much taller. :crazy:

I was 6'1" but now closer to 6' after my surgeries.

Ok here you go.

As for tire size what's left of them today with weight on them @55psi 34" size was 315/75r16.

The front springs have sagged over 1" since they were installed about 1.5 years ago.

Yeah you've got a couple inches on mine. Weird that the front fender flare seems about the same though. Maybe mine is just falling down or something.
As for springs sagging, Idk when mine were installed but it was well over two years ago. So mine are probably worse.

And for tires wow. Mine come out to pretty much 37" exactly. So your suspension is a good bit higher.

Or mine are there is not much left to my front fenders behind those flares. Yep I have a lot of suspension lift under my truck just needs bigger tires and more lift lol. I am back to thinking 10" lift this summer now that cash is in sight. All I need is new front springs and 4" blocks for the back to replace the 3" ones, the rest is under it already for that much lift.

I didn't think this was that kind of forum.

I am still stuck on the Michelin XML's 38.7 but I have to see if they will pass VI if I have to go through it again and I will for sure.

It must be hell to modify in a truck in Canada especially as much as you have done.

To some yes it would be a royal pita, but its not that bad. There is lots you can do up here but you need to follow the laws/guidelines.

Thanks.....Purchasing parts from the USA to Australia works out very expensive. purchasing hood plus freight plus import duties plus taxes that hood owes $3500. Front bar was a little cheaper a friend put it in his container which was heading over here so that only came in at $800....but what can you do!
