    Hi all.

    Hoping you all could help me. I was measuring 23" from center of hub to fender since i got my Icon AAL installed w/ overload off. If the stock ride height for a 2021 TRD Sport DCSB 4x4 is 22" .. seemed it settled gto give me a stock lift again. I do tow a trailer occassionally (3 times on this taco) this year. Rarely have any load outside a bakflip mx4 cover. I also was riding 39" from ground to fender when i first got my taco lifted with 285/70/17 but now i am at 38". I do recall prior to my lift i was sitting at 36". Confusing is that my tires only added 2.2" in diameter so halving that i get 1.1" of ride height lift. so i can't account for the extra 1" of lift if i am sitting at 22" hub to fender.

    UNless i am totally wrong and stock center to hub in rear is 21" like the front. I just read it was 22"

    my bad for never measuring it prior to my lift.

    Is this common? ANd thanks ahead time as I respect this site so much but i also find it could be misleading.

    I don’t understand your question.

    For what it’s worth, I also forgot to measure my ride height prior to switching out my springs, but by reading a number of posts I think stock is about 22” in the rear. My last measurement put me at 23”. I have OME Dakar mediums and about 180 lbs of extra weight spread across the truck.

    One important thing I have noticed is that it’s easy to have a +- 0.5” error in the measurement if you are not careful.

    My leaf springs and icon 3 leafs did the same thing. I just installed a Deaver stage 1 pack and it’s a much better ride and better lift

    Yes. Mine flattened after less than a year. I don’t carry heavy loads but I did tow a 3500 trailer with tongue weight of 500 with a full bed and family. That’s the only thing I could think of.

    note as suggested the overload leaf was removed and I think with the stock bump stops. I have new summo bump stops so my new setup will not suffer.

    I have the icon RXT in my garage being put on in 2 weeks in stage 2 setup since I now have a RTT so it’s supposed to give 2.125” at constant 200 Lb load. Likely settle to 2”

    Yep... that's about what i got with option 2 but it depends on how full the gas tank is and what side your measuring...lol.
    edit: i have a canopy and carry around 125 lbs in the bed.
