    Center of hub to wheel well, 5/8 tank of gas, no bitches, beer or random bs in the back, passenger side

    Front = 20 3/4
    Rear = 21 1/2

    In the past I have measured distance from the ground to the frame rail behind the front tire and then in front of the rear tire to determine how level the actual chassis is. This removes body design from the equation but doesn't help in understanding tire clearance issues.

    Hi - first post...

    Getting around to sorting out my '09, which looks soooo droopy in the front. Measures 19" hub center to bottom edge of fender. Been searching pretty hard for info on stock ride height but have not found a whole lot of clear info. Doesn't Toyota have a spec for checking wear on the coils?

    Anyway, seems i have lost 1.5" over stock ride height. Does that sound right?

    Purchased 5100's but am thinking i need springs now too. Should i get springs that are 1.5 over? (planning on adding a bumper winch later, so having the adjustability seems like a good idea)

    Thanks!
