Best way to measure lift height

Do you know what generation Tacoma stock is 8.25"?
I'm trying to measure the rear of my 1st gen.

In my case I don't even have bodywork in the rear.

 

i don't know but @ARCHIVE may be able to answer.

 

2005-2022 is ~8.25" stock. (Archive method: Top of axle tube up to bottom of frame rails)

Sorry don't have that measurement for 1st gen. But if I remember correctly, on 1st gen, there is approx 4" between top of stock bumpstop and bump bracket that hangs under the frame rail.

 

Cool, thanks! approximation works for me!

 

She makes a very nice GO/NO-GO gauge.

 

OP, easiest way to measure without skewed numbers that will give you an exact center hub to bottom of fender flare measurement and negates the size, load rating and inflation psi of your tires.

1. Measure the diameter of the face of your wheel (It's not 16" or 17", that's the inside of the barrel where the tire bead mounts!) and divide by two.

2. Measure from the bottom lip of the rim to the bottom of the flare and subtract the number from step one.
