why not measure it?

They are roughly 2-2.5" from memory (it's been about a year since I've looked at body mount studs).

ok so if they are 65mm long then what would be the biggest body lift you could do without cutting the studs?

you can get 30mm just ... 25mm would be way easier

You don't need to cut the studs to install any size lift. I had 35mm in my car without any sort of jiggerypokery, but I did remove the rubber bush that sits on the underside of the chassis. I am not recommending this.

I have made a number of 2" body lifts for sierras (something like 8) these are machined and do not interfere with the stock studs. It is looking like I may need to make some more shortly. PM me.
