is there any way to tell what lift i have on this truck?
I just want to know if it is 2, 3, 4, 5 inch lift. what is
the easiest way to tell? the previous owner seems
clueless.

Thanks

I know there is no such thing as a 400M, but mine has a modified CAM.

By looking at your picture, I would think it would be a 5.5". Not looking at the body lift. What size tires are on the truck? Measure from the bottom of the frame down on level surface where the front bumper is mounted and let me know.

Where on frame are you measuring? Is it an F-150?
