im pretty sure its 4 inch but might be higher
 
That looks pretty horrible, you want the steering linkage to be as flat as possible.
 
ok il put the other one on....anyway how much lift do you think is on it Ryda(i was told its 4 inch)

oh also... can you take the tie rods from the bottom and put them up top of the knuckle for more clearence and a slightly better angle?
 
Almost looks like a 5.5" superlift to me.

Does it have a drop pitman arm on it?

I suppose it is possible to flip the TRE's onto the top of the knuckles, it would require them to be reemed out, and i'm not sure how much meat would be left in the knuckle once that is done.
 
That doesn't look like a superlift 5.5 bracket...but I could be wrong.

The drivers side bracket is a drop plate..I'm guessing it's a rough/tuff country 4" lift.

And that steering angle is nasty...

Go with a superlift superrunner or a skyjacker extreme drop pitman arm.
 
no thats the stock pitman arm... i got a drop one but it dosent really look like it drops it that much...and i would get one of the bigger ones but being 15 and no job its kinda hard to do...
 
oh and also the brake lines are just to short to get on the beams so.... i dont know how high of a lift does that but this one does..
 
Yeah, you'll need extended brake lines, there is a cheap route in the tech library.

The extreme drop pitman arm from skyjacker usually runs about 180$
 
well this is the pit man arm i have that came with the used kit but it really dosent seem much bigger mabe one or 1.5 inches taller on the right hand side is a spray paint can to see size comparison ( i almost missed it in the pic)

Yup, that is your typical drop pitman arm. Put that on there and see how it is.
 
You need the Skyjacker FA600 arm to make the steering angles acceptable with that amount of lift.
