How can I tell how much lift I have?

[Xandor]

I just bought an 89 ranger, it has a 3in body lift and I'm not sure how high the suspension lift is, but the shocks are not long enough at all, I need to buy new ones ASAP. It rides like crap. I can shake them around. I just have lift blocks on the back and there 2, 2 1/2in blocks on eachother. So I have a 5in lift?

Also if someone can pont me to leaf spring made for a 5in lift for a good price let me know, all I ever hear is blocks are crap.

All 4x4 rangers have factory 2/2.5" lift blocks. What you want to avoid is stacking lift blocks on top of each other or hard wheeling on really tall lift blocks. for 5"of suspension lift look for some skyjackers, I guess. Or get your self some 63 chevy springs, and belltech shackles for like 3-4" of lift.
