Vehicle Height vs. Tire Height Change

A quick question if you don't mind. I have limited clearance in my garage and have to be careful moving up in tire size.

If I go from a 31" diameter tire to a 33" diameter tire will the overall height of the truck increase by 1" or 2"? Thanks.

1".

Your axle will become 1/2 the diameter change higher.

That's what I was thinking, but sometimes the obvious evades me! Thanks.

Me too.

The biggest change will be in the way she looks!!! And that will make you walk two inches higher!
