Stock ride height
 
Does anyone know what the measurment is from the center of the hub to the fender lip on the front of a stock 2nd gen 2500 4x4. Or have a truck that they can measure it on so i can compare it to mine. Im trying to see if mine is stock or not. I was told it had a lift but im a little weary of that. Im putting bigger tires on and tryin to determine if they are gonna fit.

just measured my truck in sig. with what are 'supposed' to be 2" leveling springs - the underside of the fender lip to the center of center cap is about 26.75". keep in mind i have stainless steel fender lip gaurds - so without them i would 'guess' that the measurement would be very close to 27". i know my truck is not stock height (which you were looking for), but now you can compare yours to measurements to a stock height as well as a leveled height. i also have no added weight over stock on the front end.

hth,

With bald 285/75 R16 tires and a Ranchhand full front replacement, my stock front end is 39.5" from the ground to the lip of the fender.

Thanks guys. When i bought my truck the guy told me it had a 3 inch lift. I agree that the rear is 3 inches higher because it has extra leafs under it but i measured my front from center of hub to fender lip and its 25 inches. I have a grll guard over the stock bumper and it dont weigh that much so My front is stock. Im thinking i will have to get a 2.5 inch leveling kit to help me fit these tires underneath it. Thanks again for the help guys.

what measurement did you get in the back? i measured the rear while i was at it and got 27.5" stock height with factory overload

If i remember right it was like 29.5 or 30 inches.

It is 29 inches in the rear. I was lokking at my back axle where the leafs are at. There is about a 5 inch block between the axle and the leafs on both sides. Is that stock or is that some sort of lift block?

The block between the springs and axle is stock.

Ok i just didnt realize the stock blocks were that big.
