Digger needs a measurement

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Tue Dec 08, 2009 7:17 am

Can a few of you stock guys/gals measure from the center of your wheel hub to the bottom of the fender for me? I need front and rear. If a few of you could get back with me, that would be great. I need these measurements to verify my true lift after I am done.....

Thanks every one

Also, if any one want to try the factory way, that would be cool to... I'll post the pictures for the factory way later

HEIGHT MEASUREMENT

CURB HEIGHT
NOTE: The suspension is non-adjustable.

The vehicle suspension height should be measured before performing wheel alignment procedure. Also when front suspension components have been replaced. This measure must be performed with the vehicle supporting it's own weight and taken on both sides of the vehicle.

Front and rear curb heights are not adjustable. The spring selections at assembly determine curb height for acceptable appearance of the vehicle. Curb height dimensions assume full fluids (including fuel) and zero passengers. Refer to the table below for front curb height dimensions.

Vehicle curb height audits should be performed utilizing the following procedure:

1. Drive the vehicle straight and forward on a non-tacky surface for a minimum of 20 feet to neutralize track width.
2. Bounce the front of the vehicle five times.
3. Measure and record the dimensions

4. Front – On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance from the center of the front lower control arm bushing bolt (1) to the ground (3) Record the measurement. Next measure the distance from the spindle center (2) to the ground (3) Record the measurement.
5. Take the two measurements and subtract them to get the curb height specification.

REAR CURB HEIGHT
Rear curb height is defined by the relative vertical distance between the top of the lower spring seat strike surface and the bottom of the jounce cup (true metal to metal jounce travel). This is to be measured vertically inside the coil from the point intersecting the inboard edge and the for/aft center of the jounce cup (1) down to the strike surface (2).

Here are the results I posted earlier in another post.
Stock 09 KK

Center of wheel to to bottom of fender:
Front Driver: 17 3/4"
Front Pass: 18"
Rear Driver: 18 3/4"
Rear Pass: 18 7/8"

Those were with only about 1/4 tank of gas and no driver if I remember correctly. I'll measure again tonight and update with a full tank of gas so we can be consistent.

So your running running 5.5"-6" of lift? Stock KJ is about 18" also like the KK.

Then why is Tom's KJ so much higher than yours?
