Has anyone who has upgraded their truck with bigger rims know if it has raised their truck hight also? I'm talking about those who have added 18-20" rims but have kept the stock suspension. I want to add new rims but I want to keep my truck in the garage to protect against the elements... especially the most dangerous element... the "criminal" element
If someone could post in with their before/after measurements with upgrade info such as tire and rim size. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Since no one's posting maybe I'm asking the wrong question.

If I put 20" wheels with 37" tires with the stock suspension will it raise my truck hight only 2" since the stock tires are 35"?

It would onl raise it by about 1.25" because this is 1/2 of the overall height change. 37" would be the overall height.

Stock tires are 34.5" tall, so 37-34.5 = 2.5/2 = 1.25"

The rims are irrelevant, its the heighth of the tire...

CsRkH2,
Thanks, when I had my other truck and added larger rims i had to lower it about 2" and i couldn't remember if it was only to eliminate the wheel gap or making it fit in my garage.
thanks again

The tires I'm getting is about 35.5", not sure about 37".
