I got a lift done on my Taco but am getting mixed numbers from diff mechanics on the height the shocks (Bilstein 6112). Does anyone know how to measure?

The rear is easy. Measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame rail. Stock height is 8.25". Front, I don't have anything set in stone like that for you, sorry.

If you measure center of wheel hub to bottom of fender, stock is 21" on a third gen. It can be difficult to get an exact measurement though. This isn't perfect though since trucks can vary, the ground can be a little uneven, etc.
