So a buddy and I were talking today about lift height.
When you're describing a lifted truck, does the increase in height gained SOLELY by bigger tires count towards the height of 'the lift'?
Increasing tires from a 28" to a 35" has a total difference of 7 inches, split the difference, for 3.5 inches of increased truck height (And, no, we're not getting technical about the bottom of the tire having a lower profile due to vehicle weight...its not significant in this case)
Assuming said truck has a 3 inch body lift, and a 6 inch suspension lift, should this truck be referred to as being lifted 9 inches, or 12.5"? And if you deem that the tire lift should count towards the total lifted height, would it then be safe to say that, 'That truck is lifted 12.5"'? (Where lifted 12.5 inches is an adjective?)
THEN, could you also say, 'That truck has a 12.5" lift!", or would be be then said that, 'That truck has a 9" lift!'? (Where 'the lift' is a noun, and tires are not actually a part of the lift)
Yes I have too much time on my hands.
Anxiously awaiting replies.
