determing lift size
 
I was wondering if someone with either a 4 or 6" lift would mind measuring the distance from the center hub to fender. I have a 1986 k10 wrangler that I just bought and is lifted but the previous owner wasn't sure of the size. I measured 26.5" on my truck from the front hub to the fender. Thanks in advance

what size tires and measure from the ground to the bottom of the bumper.

We don't have our truck anymore but had an 86 with a 4 inch lift and 33's and I remember the bumper heights.

Also look in the back, see if it has a block under the springs, if so how big is that block?

Now they do have spring lifts instead of blocks and some kits are block and add a leaf, so maybe count the leafs of see if the big thick one is on the bottom it's short and thick, I aint sure if add a leafs go over that one or under it, I'd guess over it. But the rear should have a 4 inch or 6 inch block, maybe a 4 inch with add a leaf to make it six.

So check both bumpers from ground to bottom and what type are they stock?
