    I don't think it is but at times I feel like it is sitting a little higher than other stock Tacos. Mine is the MGM 2011. May just be the weight of the double cab and bull bar of the black 2013?

    Wouldn't you ask this question before buying the vehicle? Take some pictures of the suspension and we can tell you.

    I will take some more pics. I know they are Bilstein that look like the picture below. They are not yellow colored like other Bilsteins I have seen. I did not ask before buying because I fell in love with the look and feel of the truck. So it didnt really matter. now i am just curious. [​IMG]

    Those are bilstein 5100s and they are height adjustable. So it is possible for the previous owner to have lifted it. The options are 0", .85", 1.75", an 2.5", if I had to go by looks alone I would most likely say .85

    Thanks guys. One less mod I have to do on my own I guess!!

    So your saying I can adjust these to get an even higher lift. Not saying I am going to, I really like how the truck is sitting now. But who knows. The tires are still what it came with P265/70R16 111s M+S. Uniroyal Laredo's. Will keep these on until I need new ones, they most likely stick to same size but a little more rugged look.

    You can but by setting it to a higher setting you are preloading it and it will have a harsher ride.

    Rear boot looks a little funky? Is there a way I can tell what they are set at?

    Take a look at the front shock and count the notches in the shock itself. Here is a picture of the settings.
