    Hello, yes another lift question but, this one is a little different. I have a 01 extra cab 2.7 taco that has OME 881s and a unknown amount of lift in the rear but I do know it has a Dakar spring pack. With my dual battery, arb front bar and a winch with steel cable in the front, my front is sagging terribly. I would like to level it out to match the high back. I'm thinking 3 inches should do it, but I'm having trouble deciding on how. Should I keep the 881s and use 5100 to adjust ride height, and use spacers to help if needed or do I need to go all out and buy 3 inch lift coilovers and UCAs, or OME 883 with 90004 shocks and UCAs? Any input is appreciated! I would like to keep this as cheap as possible but I know low cost and quality do not pair well

    I have the 883s up front, v6, stock bumper, and have 24.5 from center hub to fender up front if that helps you any.

    Rides great. Feels a lot more solid when hitting bumps. It's my daily driver so a lot of city miles and no complaints...fits my 285/70/17s great.

    Just stock for now....haven't had any problems with tire wear and the alignment was within spec....just regular tire rotations.

    Does anyone know what the measurements from center hub to fender are for a stock taco? I would like to know how high my lift is in the front right now because if I'm within 2" lift then I will just install a spacer to help level it alittle. Although I think my rear is way higher than 1 inch difference than the front

    I can try and get a measurement for you after I get off work if you're still looking for one. Got almost the exact same truck on stock suspension, minus the flares.

    So I got measurements of: Left front= 22" , Right front= ~22.5"ish , Left rear= 23" , Right rear= ~23.5"ish. This is on a 2001 2.7 4x4 with almost new OEM suspension. Only a slight bit of lean at this point, and remember I don't have flares so try and measure right to the fender itself. Hope it helps

    10ply, how about center hub or axle to bottom of frame (on one side)? So I don't risk breaking anymore plastic clips/parts. Please. Thanks

    ...I'm at 13" center axle to bump strike thingy.
