What kind of approach angle are people getting with these 1.5” and 2” lifts and bigger tires? Has anyone taken a rough measurement?

Salwans, Since ..many... of us here know that approach angle is measured in degrees, and given the Tremor Maverick is ~31* with its upgraded suspension geometry and 1” lift, I would guess perhaps ~34* approach.What kind of approach angle are people getting with these 1.5” and 2” lifts and bigger tires? Has anyone taken a rough measurement?

((Montana)): My guess would be 1.5" to 2" more than they were getting before... Same goes for the CV angles...buh-dum-tis. ))
The placement of the receiver hitch is the killer on these truck's departure angles.....
Please report back if you are able to accurately measure yours with upgrades....
Good luck....

Did you get the lift and bigger tires? Or are you just doing research

I did some calculations a while back based on knowns and such. My hypothesis is buried somewhere within these pages, but I cant remember where. I remember my plan was on a Tremor with 1.5" lift and 245/70r17s. I wanna say I figure it up at just under 3 degrees approach improvement and 2 degrees for the rear. I was getting tired and gave up on the breakover angle.
I think you are failing to account for the different front bumper on the Tremor .
IDK, I realize the different front bumper is part of the Tremic approach angle improvement, but the OP asks about a ~2" lift and tire upgrade. Mine above was just a guess, it would be interesting to actually measure one....

Anyone with a flat paved driveway and 2 floor jacks should be able to produce pretty good measurements.

There is no lift involved in calculating approach or departure angles. They are the static angles measured from the tire's contact patch to the lower-most point of the body/bumper that would first contact the ground...

But if you are trying to figure out the angle with a lift, just jackup a stocker.There is no lift involved in calculating approach or departure angles. They are the static angles measured from the tire's contact patch to the lower-most point of the body/bumper that would first contact the ground...

They are asking how a lift would change the approach and departure angles, without/before doing the actual lift. In order to simulate a lift without doing a lift.....you still need to lift the vehicle. Ha! Right?There is no lift involved in calculating approach or departure angles. They are the static angles measured from the tire's contact patch to the lower-most point of the body/bumper that would first contact the ground...

I mean....I am sure there is a set of geometry formulas that would provide the same answer all on paper, but it would seem just jacking up a vehicle 1.5 or 2 inches or whatever the lift is planned to be and then physically measuring the new approach and departure angles would also work. And would be a hands on real world proof of the new approach and departure angles. Could even incorporate any "lift" from larger tires at the same time, etc...
