Lift Kit transferred to real inches of lift

I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. Trying to decide between a 2in lift kit and a 4 inch kit. Does anyone have any measurements. For example
Stock springs ground to bottom of bumper = xx inches
2in lift ground to bumper = xx inches

I am not sure what the lift on the blazer I just bought is so trying to calculate
height of existing lift
Thanks

Re: Lift Kit transferred to real inches of lift

I put a 4' lift on mine from rough country and I forget how much lift I got total, I also replaced all the old body mounts with new ones so that added a little height as well, I want to say 39 inches from ground to center of fender measured to the top of the underside of the fender well. but I will look or just re-measure tomorrow if you still need this info.

Re: Lift Kit transferred to real inches of lift

you can't measure from the ground to determine lift height... tire size will change the relative height. Measure from the center of the hub to the bottom ow the wheel arch.

My 70 has 4" Rancho springs and measures 26 3/4" center of the hub to the bottom of the arch.

True, true, didn't think about that, I will measure it properly tomorrow, I just measured to the ground originally to see how much total lift I received after the lift, tires, and body shims. Good eye 70-K5. What size tires are you running under yours, and at what pressure for pavement, mine is rough as hell?
