    How do I measure to find out how much lift my new springs generated? My old springs had sagged. So I need some stock numbers to compare my current set up to?

    Ok, so I've got on the drivers side 22 in front, and 23 in back, passenger side 21 3/4 front and 22 3/4 back. I've to Bilstein Springs in back that should give an inch over stock, and All Dogs Offroad springs up front that should be @2 inches.

    They've been on for about 3 weeks, and I can defiantly tell they have settled a little bit by the height, and the ride has softened up so I feel like they are broken in. Also I have pretty much a full tank of gas.

    So if my numbers are right you have 2” lift in the front and 1” in the rear, but may others can chime in if my estimate is off?

    So it looks to me like you already knew what your lift was, did i not answer your question correctly?

    Yes you did. I did not know how much the previous springs had sagged below stock since I just bought the vehicle used. So, I was unsure how much lift I ended up with in the end above stock.
