3" lift measurements.....

Everyone with 3" lifts on there 1st. gens. What is your measurement from ground to fender in the center of wheel/tire? Would love to know, If you dont mind!

 

Bump.....Come on guys! No one can give me some measurements?

 

Bump.............

 

if it helps i have a 99 taco with a 2" lift . front is 24" and rear is 25" . from the middle of the wheel to the fender . from the ground 37 front 38 back . i have 15" wheels and 31" rubber

 

ill measure for you tomorrow for some help

 

Awsome! oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that I have 285/75/16 tires. which makes a difference.

 

i got 38 1/2 front and 39 1/4 on rear, from the ground. i am running 285/75 16's

 

Awsome! thank you! I just wanted to make sure that my coilovers are set to the right measurement. Im at 39-1/2 rear and 38-3/4 front.

I just didnt want my front end to be above 3" lift. I think Im right were I need to be!

 

im sitting at 39 1/2 front and rear with 33 inch tires.

 

Really? thats more then 3" up front right? Hows your cv's? Im at 38 3/4

 

i think im a little over 3 inches. i had a 2 1/2 lift and it was sitting a little lower in the front so to level it i put a 1/2 inch spacer in the front that gave me about 3/4 more lift. but to make up for it im using a diff drop cause im at 3 1/4 lift at least. the only problems ive had with my cv's is the inner boots leaking but i replaced them with high angle boots. other than that they are fine.

 

hey your 285 75 16 tires... have you notice any difference to your MPG?

 

Yeah, a little... Im down to 15 around town right now. But Im planning on doing a few things to try and get it a little higher. But chris4x4 said that, that mpg's is about right for a lifted 1st. gen with 33's and an automatic V6.

 

really i get about 13 mpg around the city at the best. but that is ALL around town driving.

 

man if my truck ever gave me 13mpg id sell it!

 

im used to it ive always had a truck. but it does kind of suck getting 200 miles on a tank of gas.

 

Yep! But do you add 7.1% to your mileage? bc of the lift and tires... I didnt at first and was getting 12mpg's. But I talk to chris4x4 and he told that bc of my size tire I have to ad 7.1% to my mileage.

 

i knew my front end was low! only 36 3/4 in the front, 38 1/2 in the rear. good, now I know I can just go to an 882 and not have to add any more rear lift.

thats with stock coils on 5100's at 2.5 SAG much!

 

i got the 883s and 5100s and about 38 1/2 up front with stock tires

 

stock tires? your cv's must be on some crazy angles. mine is with 265 75 16 (worn down verly low of course)
