    heyguys. So I've combed through posts to find the info and haven't come up with it yet.

    So I couldn't get stock spring hieght because it was busted and shot anyway. But after installing the new general hd packs on the rear, from the center of hub to the fender well is about 25" on each side. Is that normal for anyone else that has installed them on 2nd gen access cab 4.0?

    I put the General HD springs on my 08 acc a few months ago and yes it lifted the rear buy 3 inches. I was not expecting that much lift but I'll take it. I load my truck to the max and I haul a 4000# trailer with my Yamaha WR250 in the truck. At first I thought, WTF, this is a lot of lift then I just resigned myself to the fact that I was now going to have to lift the front a bit to level things out. I bought a set of Eibach (made in USA) adjustable shocks for the front coilovers and set them at the 1.5" lift that raised it 1 7/8 inch. The truck is not level but I don't want level while empty I want level when loaded and that is what I have now. I put 12 80# bags of sackrete (thats 960#) on the new springs and the sag was only 1.5 inches. If I had put that weight with the recall springs I had it would have been sitting on the spring bumbs at 500#. My Taco can now carry some weight without dragging the rear bumper the ground and the ride is firm but nice.

    The only thing I need to do is replace the rear shocks. I'm trying to figure out if stock length shock will work or if I need longer ones.

    whats a stock hub to fender measurement in the rear. I thought it was around the 20.5-21in mark.
