    Can someone give me an idea of what size lift I have? I am going to replace the rims with TSS rims and hope that my current Nitto Grappler 305/55r20's will fit without a spacer.

    Thank you for any info you can throw at me!

    Truck is a 2018 Sr5.

    The measurement pictures of the wheel well were from the center of the wheel to the wheel well.

    Looks like a 3-2 with just spacers. Gives you lift the cheapest way.

    Thank you. Is this a bad lift? Doesn't sound good when its listed as "the cheapest". I'm not overly pleased with it anyway, but will keep it if its not unsafe.

    Yeah cheapy 3/2. Should throw at least 35/12.5/17 on there. 33s will look tiny.

    Not unsafe. tons of people run spacer/block lifts. Just not great for ride comfort/offroad capability etc.

    Good: cheap. Lift components tend to be durable and not prone to failure themselves.
    Bad: changes factory geometry. Puts the front factory shocks in a different location relative to factory design allowing over compression or extension depending on where the spacer is utilized. That can prematurely blow the seals out. Rear blocks can cause an increase in potential for axle wrap during acceleration and braking, amongst other potential issues.

    That's a ReadyLift 3 front/2 rear spacer kit. If you do remove it at some point, you will need to replace the ubolts. They are a 1 time use by design.

    2" spacer gives you 4" of lift at the tires on the front independent suspension. back looks like 2" which actually gives you 2" for solid rear axle, so 4" front and 2" rear lift

    4” front lift via 2” spacers. 2” rear via 2” blocks.

    Makes the truck taller, but no other positive benefit.
