Post subject:  Some Interesting Measurements
My 2005 KJ Limited with 245/65/17"

Front center wheel well to ground.......32"
After Franky II Lift............................36.5"

After putting on 265/75/16"........37.25"

I actually measured all 4 wheel wells. Between the time I added the lift and I added the tires there was some settling. I should have measured this morning before I got the new tires put on.

Considering you had 4.5" gain from the Frankie, You are doing well. With regards to the tires, I don't know the actual diameter of your tires, but your first set was ~29.5" and the new ones ~31.6. A tire diameter gain of 2" but should only net ~1.0" increase in height.

The new ones are 31.7. I figure the Franky is still settling also. But it is interesting to see how it has "risen to the occasion"!

I'm sitting at 37 5/8" front and 37 1/4" rear with 45,000 miles on my lift and 1500lbs more weight,those 265/75's really help.I don't scrape where others do with those tiny 245/75's :lol: !

i've never measured mine but i really am interested now., theoretically it should be the same as yours..... except i think my tires are 31.8..

i cant be happier with my set up. granted i have a little rubbing on the back flares after settling.. but now i'm willing to make that sacrifice.. doesnt seem like an inch or two larger tires would help that much but i think it's night and day. plus i think it looks better :)

My 265's are 31.9 and I'm sitting at 37.5" now, when the lift was fresh I was at 38 even!

You brought up a good point. I have noticed that a few guys on here figure if they get a tire that is 1" taller they will gain 1" in height.
