    None...yet!
    Year 2013
    Model DCSB TRD Off Road 4x4
    Engine 4.0L V6
    Measurement from Hub to fender (front) Driver 22 1/4" Passenger 22 15/16"
    Amount of lift gained Driver 2.375" Passenger 2.4375"
    Amount of thread showing on coil overs 1.5"

    Now my inner CV on my passenger side is pretty close to touching, if it isn't already, and was wondering if I lower my pass C/O will it help out the angle at all (aside from making the truck level)?

    22 and 5/8th passenger
    1 and 7/16 thread showing on both.

    Edit: I may have screwed up this measurement by not moving the truck between adjument and measurement. Or else they settled 1.5 inches.

    6 down I think? It's about a 16th of thread exposed per turn. CV angle is okay, boot flanges barely touch, but I have a 1/2" diff drop.

    Update after three weeks:
    21 and 7/8ths driver
    22 and 1/8th passenger.

    Three more turns for 1 and 5/8ths thread showing. I hope I screwed up the first measurement, otherwise I lost 1.5" to settling.

    This thread is from way back, but I was curious, several folks here are coming in at 24 inches hub to fender. I believe that's right around 4 inches of lift (I've read 20 inches is stock). Has anyone running that much lift encountered issues? I've read a bunch of time that you'll blow a CV boot, but there is a lot of hearsay on TW. So I would like to hear it from someone who has run that much lift for a long time. I ask because I am sitting at 23 now, and would like to come up another .75-1inch to come closer to level (4 inches of lift in the rear). I'm running extended travel icons with JBA arms.

    droop out the front end and check for bind in your steering, ball joints and CVs. When you over-extend the CV and try to spin the tire (by hand) you'll know it binds and clicks.

    there is alot of TW talk about CV boots and letting the ribs touch, but I'm not sure how real that issue is. I'm not worried about it, personally.
