Heya guys. Recently my left radius arm snapped (Just as I was done for the day!) and I need some help with a few measurements before I can order new ones and replace em. My only problem is that the radius arms I believe are aftermarket but my truck has a lift on it (It's either 3 or 4 inch lift), but I need a definite measurement, so my first question being, what do I measure to find the number of inches the truck is lifted? I have some pictures (If I can upload them correctly) to help you guys help me out with this little kink. I'd appreciate any feedback! Thanks guys.

the radius arm likley came in the kit the previous owner bought for the lift. judging by those pictures there is a camber adjustment nut also installed which means there probably wont be any axle drop brackets. my best guess is to try to track down the manufacturer of the kit (via the previous owner)and just order the replacement.

The Tuff Country kit does away with the ford style radius arm bushing, and gives you a grease-able bolt in a poly bushing, much better than having to change those bushings all the time, also giving the alignment shop and easy adjusting point..."
