stock tire height is around 28" 33 minus 28 =5. divided by 2= 2.5" height from tire size increase

2.5" plus 6.5" of lift = 9"

so it will 9" higher than it is now

Plus most lifts will sit 1"-1.5"s higher at first, so ur 6.5" lift will sit around 7.5"ish! So tell ur springs break in u'll sit around 10" higher than stock!!!

No that's the diffrent tire size! Stock tires are 28" tall & ur going up to 33"s so that's 5" taller. Sence only the bottom half of ur tire is adding hight hence the 2.5" plus ur 6.5" lift=9"

Measure from the ground to whatever you want to use as a reference point then add 9". That same point will be 9" higher with the 6.5" lift and 33's.
