What are your bumper hights?

808stroker · Dec 6, 2011

Hey guys just wondering what are your bumper hights/ lift, wheel and tire combos? I ask because i have an 08 ccsb 6.4. Legal bumper hight for my gvwr here in hawaii is 35". I plan on going 10-12" of lift with 37-38" tires. So if any one has the time i would greatly appreciate it, and also this would be good for curious people who also have lift laws. Thanks in advance

Thanks so much!! that gives me a great idea of about what mines will be when i go through with the lift. And seems like ill be all legal. Here if its over bumper hight limit they try and charge you with a felony. I wouldnt risk my job for that! i appreciate it man! and great lookin rig!

my rear is going to be sitting about 36" and the front is sitting at 36" as well. 15" of lift and 40's.

I can't measure mine at the moment, but we have similar laws here in CA. They don't seem to enforce it unless you are huge. 37" with a 8" lift and mine are probably illegal.

Thanks for the feed back guys!
Tonka350-be sure to keep us updated on that build! It sounds animal!!
Erikclaw- your blue boy is an animal! Itd be great to know the bumper hight when you get that bad boy back!

To what point do you want the measurement?

Thanks, I will get you a measurement when I can. Looks like a couple of more weeks to get all the tuning done. They just got the cab down and on its own power yesterday.

25.5". 7" lift, 37" tires. I've got a Road Armor bumper on my 04. The built in skid plate comes down quite a bit lower than stock.

Thats great news! if im a lil over hight i know i have the option of putting a Heavy Duty bumper to bring down bumper hight instead of lowering the truck!!

36" front. 38" in rear.

10-14" adjustable. But probably higher??

Yes it is a One Up Offroad lift kit. Mine is pretty much a "California 10" It was designed for the stricter frame height laws of California. So if you wanted to you can lower it down for inspection and then crank it back up.

Mine is a 500 series with additional triple bypasses up front and dual bypasses in the rear. I think I am sitting around 14" right now, maybe 15". I have 40's on it right now, which are actually too large for this kit. The truck really flexes out crazy but if I hit the right bump even on the street I could destroy a fender. It has a lot of wheel travel. It does ride amazing and I still have not had time to dial any of the shocks or coilovers in.

What amazes me the most is I have no sway bars on the truck and this thing corners awesome. It rides and corners better then my car. Nothing has been fine tuned. My truck also sets the scales at 10,000 pounds... LOL

808stroker · Dec 20, 2011

Thats awesome! So the kits are 4" adjustable? Even better! And it sounds like i should be fine running a 10-12" with 37s. But 10,000lbs , darn thats a heavy rig! Lol id bet ill be around that weight after lift, wheels, and tires being that i have lots of audio equip. In the truck lol

Layson · Dec 20, 2011

Well I have a canopy, the 40's... fuel tank in the bed/toolbox. Little heavier then normal.

Yes this one is adjustable around 4", any more and you have to swap out parts to make it "correctly" work. It is alot of work to adjust them, probably half a day. But the idea is that you can, you are not fixed at that height. That is what I really like about mine, I can crank it up with 40's or bring it down and run some 38's and still look good.

Here is the 10" kit on a different truck with 38's. This is a 575 series where the coil overs are mounted in the rear control arms.

bumper PA

Yo guys i have a 525 One Up kit with the 575 track bars. I lowered my back coilover as much as i could go and rear bumper is at 35" front bumper is at 36"
PA 10,000GVW or over is 30" It sucks because the police stop me all the time. But it is my township police that stop me all the time. If i am just driving down the road the state police and other township leave me be?? NJ never stopped me once!! It is maybe they will stop me all the time!!!! Never got a ticket. They just give me a warning. But like i said my township police it is tough because how many warnings can you get??

808stroker · Dec 21, 2011

Layson maybe post a few i pix of your rig? Id appreciate it!
