Default Lift Size

Hello,

I am new to this forum, I am also new to lifted vehicles. I have basic backyard knowledge of vehicles but not much about modified suspensions. My question is if my rear shocks are 30.070 extended and 17.700 compressed and my front shocks are 23.070 extended and 14.070 compressed what size lift do I have? I was told once to measure the block in the rear but have no clue as to what that exactly is. Any help will be appreciated.

well, you can go off teh size of the shocks for lift, what you do is grabb you something to measure with, and on most lift blocks they have a slight slope on them so you can tilt your rearend up to reduce drive shaft angle, so measure from the center of it to the bottom and that should tell you how big it is. here a picture of what a lift block should look like.
