    I bought my truck with it already lifted. I really wanna know how big the lift is. How do you determine without taking it apart? I run 285/75/16 if that helps.

    See Build Page
    Judging by photos alone I'd guess near to 3".

    Though now I'm curious whether it's a spacer lift or not. lol

    This may help, these are my stock pre lift height measurements with 265/65/17 tires. Your tire size is 2in larger in diameter so when you measure subtract 1in from your measurements to compensate for your tires larger radius and then subtract my numbers below from your corrected measurements. That should give you the height of your lift given your stock suspension was the same as any other TRD.

    Example: If you measure 38 3/8 from the ground to the bottom of your driver front fender, then subtract 1 and subtract 34 3/8.

    So your lift would be approx 3in

    My stock height measured from the ground straight up the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender. Vehicle was on level ground

    Driver front 34 3/8
    Passenger front 34 7/8
    Passenger rear 35 3/4
    Driver rear 36 1/8
