2012 sport higher than offroad?

I was at toyota today getting my plates. I parked next to 2012 sport, I have a 2012 OR. Did you guys know the sport rear end is several inches higher than the OR? maybe cause of the 4 leaf pack?

 

wear both 4wd or 2wd?

 

oh, my OR is 4x4 and the sport was 2WD.

 

gosh, I can't imagine it settling in 2-3 inches...

 

it was the skuuup weighing the front of the sport down, lifting the rear...


the sport's leafs may be brand spanking new with 20 miles on em, didnt settle yet + the 4 pack.

 

this.

or that may have something to do with it but idk.

 

maybe the 17" wheels?

I tell you, parked next to each other the sport looked way higher. I should have snapped a photo. Doh!!!

Its just higher, no way around it....

 

wheels them self should not change it. TIRE size will. but the hight of the tires should be the same.

damnit whipper beat me to it.

 

not the wheels. probably the springs like whippersnapper said.

or maybe the lack of ATRAC equipment isn't weighing it down.

 

Wait, what? How can it be just me? Parked next to the truck, level ground (concrete for the matter) and the sport was 2-3 inches higher than my truck. How is that just me?

 

did you measure from the ground to the top of the bedside?

 

If I remember, my dad has a '07 Sport and I think the sticker on his said something about a lift? I'll look for it when I get a chance and post a pic of it...

 

the only difference i can think of is that the OR has 16in rims while the Sport has 17in rims

 

does not madder. hight of tire is still the same.

 

If the rear end was 2-3 inches higher, that Tacoma must've had some serious rake in the back...

 

Sometimes dealers put 3in spacer lifts on trucks... Check the sticker and it'll say.. The dealer I got my truck from had a sport prerunner with 3in spacer lift. At the time I wanted it but didn't get it cuz it was a short bed... Now I'm glad I didn't waste money on a spacer lifted truck. Also, often times they will put larger tires on these mall crawlers. They usually do it to draw interest in tacomas from passerbys..

 

According to my manual, the Access cab is the tallest model stock...

 

AC= less weight on the springs/shocks so yeah i could see it being a inch or 2 higher

 

It was meant to be a joke... the model specifics are a tad different but basically the same across the board
