    Per usual, you’re both 2 inches short

    I’ll probably wait then and see how off it gets to being. Since your bumper is definitely heavier so you have more weight on and same height

    That’s what I’ve liked with having the rear tire bumper on. Balances out the flight.

    Spent the day getting the OME suspension installed. She now rides like a 4Runner should! I have the height measurements in the Runner still but it’s time for beers at the local dive. I can unload everything tomorrow.

    Here are my measurements. Taken with a full tank of gas, no cargo in the rear area.

    Driver front.
    Before: 34 1/2”
    After: 38 1/8”
    Gain: 3 5/8”

    Driver rear.
    Before: 36 7/8”
    After: 40 1/2”
    Gain: 3 5/8”

    Passenger front.
    Before: 34 3/8
    After: 38”
    Gain: 3 5/8”

    Passenger rear.
    Before: 36 3/8”
    After: 40 1/4”
    Gain: 3 7/8”

    I need to get an alignment because I do have some positive camber going ATM. I’m going to recheck measurements after 500 miles and see if there’s any settling in the springs.

    This is a KDSS equipped 4Runner and I did not do anything to the KDSS during the install. No removal of the sway bars from the lower control arms or rear axle and no KDSS calibration (back valves out and shake vehicle) and my measurements are well within Toyota’s specifications of .787 inches.

    saw them as well, i know what to expect with MTLT springs though and so far they've been amazing. I just need my little height back.

    Was supposed to go wheeling this weekend. Snow and 50 mph+ winds cancelled that. So no motivation for anything now

    The snow looks to be a light dusting. So not too worried about that much. After doing New Years camping in -16 or some stupid shit like that, the cold doesn’t bother me too much either. But that wind would’ve been real shitty. It was like 50 steady with heavier gusts
