How's this??
stock - no lift - 8" to front diff, 12" to front cladding
crank bars - 10" to front diff, 14" to cladding
crank bars w/ 33" tires (3" larger than stock) - 11.5" to front diff, 15.5" to front cladding this is my current setup
stock w/ 1.5" drop brackets - 8" to front diff, 13.5 to front cladding
crank bars w/ brackets - 10" to front diff, 15.5 to front cladding
no crank, w/ bracket and 33s - 9.5" to front diff, 15" to front cladding
crank, brackets, and 33s - 11.5 to front diff, 17" to cladding
I think my math is right. The original 8" and 12" numbers are probably not right, they are just estimates for easy math.
Alaska, you know you don't NEED 4" of lift for 33s, right? Are just looking for 4"?
Hope this helps,
Brian
