    Maybe you could do me a favor and measure something for me? I posted a thread a couple weeks ago asking for someone to measure their Tacoma 4x4 from the ground to the floorboard and from the ground to the top of the seat you sit on. I'm thinking about getting a Tacoma and gitting rid of my silverado just wanted to see the difference in height.

    Most people on here have adopted the center of hub to fender as a standard. When I got my 5100's I wanted to figure out the correct level setting; as regardless of measurements the front and back fender are shaped differently. So I had to check a truck that I knew was level. My boss' 2005, 5 lug came level stock. No fender flares, but that doesn't change the math. Going from center of hub to bottom of fender he had 50 cm (19.7") in the rear and 46 cm (18") up front. So all things being equal, there should be 1.7 inches of difference between the front and back in a level truck. So using my own past measurements of 20" up front and 22.5" in the rear, 1.75" would set me at dead near 100% level. This however won't take into account weight in the back, etc, so I went with the .85 setting and am happy with the results.
