    So, back in 2010 I added the right combination of springs to lift and level my 2010 Access cab (4x4 and 2.7). I think (but am not sure) that I have about 1.5", not including any sag from metal fatigue.

    Since I am in need of new shocks I am considering 5100's and preloading for a bit more lift, and also trying to figure out what leaf configuration I need in the rear.

    My problem is that I need figure how much more I can add, and what components to buy, without exceeding the 3" lift limitation of the axles and such. Can someone give me a benchmark measurement so that I can figure how much lift I actually have over stock setup?

    I'll quote something I have copy-pasted from here for reference: "The 05-15 Tacoma on average, measures 20 inches in the front and 21.5 inches in the rear."

    Those are hub-to-fender measurements, and to my knowledge would be for a DCSB with the 4.0 engine. Not sure if your access cab would be different.

    This is exactly what I need. Thank you for the quick response. I will do some digging to see if there is any difference between the models.

    I was thinking that I shouldn't need any more information other than your measurement...

    As long as the 2.7 and larger trucks share the same axles etc..., I should be able figure out the max safe by using your hub measurements; regardless of what the 2.7 was originally.
