Default Lift height question

Does anyone have a 2.5 Ter flex BB lift with 33's? If so could you get a measurement to the fender flares above the wheels?

Mine stock is 35.5 front and 35.75 rear. Just wondering what the net gains will be. I would think I should gain about 3-4 inches.

Please post up if you can help.

Well, if you know what the diameter of your current tires are, and that a 2.5" SPACER lift lifts you by the thickness of the spacer....and the diameter of the planned replacement tires that are nominally labeled as "33's"....

....You could figure this out easily.



As some "33's" are 32" in diameter, and some are 33.5", etc...what some random guy gets for HIS change will be potentially misleading....even tire pressure changes the height, etc.

If your stockers are really 32" for example, and you get 33's that are really 33"...you are going to be 1/2" taller, as a 33" tall tire picks you up 1/2" over a 32" tall tire.

So, with that as an example, the 2.5" Spacer lift with 33's would lift you a total of 3".

Hope that helps.
