I'm finally done with the suspension on my truck now, and need a measurement to see how much total lift I gained over stock height. I'm looking for anyone with an unmodified suspension, 2nd gen 2wd extended cab truck with stock tires (205/75R15) or tires that are similar in diameter. V6 would be nice but I haven't seen any drastic height differences between V6 and 4 banger so it doesn't matter which motor.

From level ground to the bottom of my door handle, I measure 53.5" high. This number includes suspension lift, body lift and tire height increase, giving me what I'd figure to be total lift height. I would run outside and take a measurement of one of the other S-trucks but it's a 4wd with slightly taller tires, so I wouldn't get a true comparison.

Sorry bro, I have the same body style as your truck with everything you asked for except mines 4wd :o But if you want I can measure the height for you tomorrow at daylight if it helps at all, it's still stock height. Let me know and I'll measure it and post the results on this thread or pm you after I get off work.

It'll be a starting point, sure. Thanks for doing that. If anything it'll let me know total lift height over a stock 4x4.

I measured mine, and from the ground to the bottom of the door handle I got 38.25". That's a stock 4x4 with 235/75 tires.

Thanks. Seems about right from my original lift calculations back in April before I started the lift.

I just measured, and mine is 35" from level ground to the bottom of my door handle on 235/75R 15 tires. Hope that helps you.
