Have a quick lift question, need help

[jomoto421]

So I found a 4 inch lift on CL that ill be picking up tomorrow. I asked the guy what size tires he could run and said he had 32s, maybe fit 33s.

I'm running 32 inch bfg mud terrains right now without much clearance problems. Am I lifted 4 inches without knowing it? sure doesnt seem like it. Would like some quick input so I don't end up buying something I already have.

here's a photo of my truck if it helps. Please help!

looks lifted, you have about the same clearance for those tires as most do with stock tires...

look at your axle pivot brackets, are they bolted or rivited to the frame? I can't tell from the pic if it has drop brackets, but it does look lifted...

Its gotta be lifted. Cause mine barely fits 31's with a 3" lift.

check to see if it has a body lift, too. a 3 inch bl on a 1st gen will give a similar appearance.

BL is real easy to check for, just look under the bed.... see if theres huge spacers there.

And check for drop arms.

I don't know anything about your truck..... because there is no description, but it looks lifted, my 88 would barely clear 29's. but it was a 2 wd.

Can't be a body lift cause there would be frame sticking out from under the body even at that camera angle.

Looks like a suspension lift to me, bada** truck btw, what happened to your mirrors?

Thanks guys for all the help!

I knew something was done but couldn't recall what the previous owner had said. Here's what I found out.

Front end was lifted 2 inches. It's pretty deceptive since there has been body work done to the front fenders. 4 inches wider and 2 inches taller. The rear has been fitted with leaf springs from a 2wheel drive long bed which popped up the rear while giving it some easier flex.

Thanks for the compliments it's a pretty sweet ride. I took off the mirrors while I rattle canned it. Had no paint when I bought it. There's alot more to this thing than meets the eye. Great little ride.

The front end lift I went to buy was already sold after I showed up. Even after I called to confirm. Gotta love craigslist people. Found a complete lift by chance though that ill pick up next week.

That being said, anyone need 32"s with good tread?

does it have a locker in the rear at least? all that lift you'll get will be nice, but the locker is what will get you where you want to be and back home again. just my $.02.

I was gonna say, it doesn't look lifted to me....

My 1992 has no lift and clears 31's all day.
