How do I measure the lift on my 2014 Ram 1500? I bought it used and want to replace front shocks

Convert, for now.
Engine
small
Measure from ground to top lip of fender.
Most will be able to help figure out after that.

Most lifts use stock size front struts unless you have replacement coilovers. Take a pic of the front/rear suspension and post some pics so we can determine what you have.

Do not measure from the ground up. Different height tires and different tire pressures will completely sway those numbers and render them useless.

Measure from the center of the wheel to the fender. If you have deep dish wheels, it may be better to remove and measure from the center of the hub.

I can go out and measure the height of my stock ‘17 Big Horn 4x4 if that helps you out. Will give you a base line anyway.
