Default How much lift do I have

Hey every one. This is my first ram and my first 4x4. Trying to figure out how much lift I have. In the rear I have a block under my leaf springs that measures 6 1/2 inchs and in the front I can't see any thing that would lift it. I just recently replaced my track bar with a stock replacement. I have photos but can't see a way to upload them from my iPhone. I have a few more questions about my truck that I need answers to. I'll ask later one at a time. Lol

do you have 5 leaf springs in the rear? if so, you have 6.5" in the rear, (although, ive never seen a 6.5" block) and if its level id say 8" in the front. front lift springs can be indistinguishable from stock springs. if its not level you prolly have 6" springs up front.

you probably have a trac bar drop bracket, which is why the stock bar is workn with 6"+ lift

ask away my friend

Looks to me like there are 2" coil spacers on the front.
