Lift kit settled height reference

I thought this thread would be a good way for people to see what you really get for your money. Share what you've got after you've well and settled. For example I put my kit in 5 months ago, please don't share what you got after 3 days. Also please don't clutter the thread with questions about tires, vibration etc, plenty or other threads for that. A hub center to fender is an equal measure to all who haven't trimmed.

Edit: To take this measurement hold the tape measure against the bottom of your fender lip. Let it hang straight down, get down on you knees and eyeball the center of your rim. This style of measuring takes away the differences in tire size and tire pressure between vehicles caused by measuring from the ground up.

Double cab Off Road
OME 888 on 90021 with trim packer on driver's side
Standard duty Dakars (new style)
Pelfreybilt bolt on sliders, 1/2 tank of gas, no excessive weight in it and I haven't flogged it off road (yet).

Settled height hub center to fender bottom
DF 22 1/2"
PF 22 5/8"
DR 23 1/2"
PR 23 1/2"

On another note I loaded 150lbs on my front bumper and bounced it around a bit, came down 1/4" on both sides.

Edit: The average 16+ stock Tacoma is 21 inches in the front and 22 inches in the rear from what I've read on here. Those stock height numbers do vary quite a bit, seems a lot of double cabs are 1/2" lower

 

Hi Guys,

Heres my load out and measurements take at 1/5 tank of gas:

DCLB TRD OR
Icon VS 2.5 front extended Travel
Icon VS 2.0 Rear
Standard Dakars
Pelfrey Bolt on Sliders
Mobtown IFS Skid

DF: 21 7/8" (2.0" threads above the seat/preload)
PF: 22"
DR: 23 7/8"
PR: 23 7/8"

So much for my 2" lift lol.

 

Anyone else able to post their numbers?

 

I can post here later. I have fender to ground but not to hub measurements. Plus I will be cranking my kings up a couple turns this week to compensate for bumper and winch. I will be back.

 

Update: I installed a Warn semi hidden bumper with Warn VR10000 cable winch. After bouncing it up and down a few times to measure I dropped 3/4 inch DF and 5/8 PF. I only took after measurements so the springs could have settled some more in the past 4 months.

DF: 21 3/4"
PF: 22"

 

This is a great idea for a thread. Unfortunately, all of my measurements were from ground to wheel well, and my initial measurements were with the OEM tire set up, while my post lift numbers were with the new tire/wheel combo I had on it. The good news is I just need to subtract 1" to get the net numbers. As soon as a month goes buy, I'll update this post with the settled numbers, but for now:

Bilstein 5100
OME 884
HS 1/4" spacer on driver side
Rogue 1-1/2 AAL

OEM Sport Suspension:
Driver Front - 35-1/8" Passenger Front - 35-1/4"
Driver Rear - 35-5/8" Passenger Rear - 36

Post lift install measurements with new wheels and new tires: (265-70-17)
Driver Front - 37-9/16" Passenger Front - 37-9/16"
Driver Rear - 39-1/2" Passenger Rear - 39-1/2"

Net Lift numbers pre settle:
Driver Front - 1-7/16" Passenger Front - 1-5/16"
Driver Rear - 2-7/8" Passenger Rear - 2-1/2"

Post Lift Settle:
will add at a later date

Net Lift post settle:
Will add a later date

 

Sorry to bring up an old post, but I didn't want to start a new one since there's already information here...Anyway, I'm curious to know if you still have the numbers to update the settled heights? Looking at doing something similar

EDIT: How did you get so much lift in the rear with just 1.5" AAL?

 

No idea. I will measure later, but the lift did settle a bit. Still good for me though.

 

Well I added spacers today to get the height back up after a few years of use. 888's on OME shocks a few years old now, dakars in rear. 2 trim packers on driver's side now, 1 on passenger side, 10mm aluminum top strut spacer on each side, full tank of gas. The DF measurement seems to vary up to 1/4" measuring at different times. PF seems pretty steady. Truck looks good again and isn't rubbing (on the street) backing into the driveway. Has winch and semi hidden bumper on. Sliders off for clean up and paint right now.

DF 23 1/4"
PF 23 1/4"
DR 23 1/2"
PR 23 1/2"

 

Updated numbers and gear with a full tank of gas:

DCLB TRD OR
Icon VS 2.5 front extended Travel + 700lb springs
Icon VS 2.0 Rear
Standard Dakars
Pelfrey Bolt on Sliders
Mobtown IFS Skid
Custom steel bumper and winch (+145lbs)
Snugtop Rebel

DF: 22 3/8"
PF: 22.5
DR: 23.5"
PR: 23.5"
