    It’s Lifted with 20 inch Fuel Octanes on 295/60 R20’s. The rear blocks are 3 inches tall that I measured and the bottom of the rear bumper is 28 1/2 inches high. Just trying to figure out if it’s a 4 inch or 6 inch Pro Comp Lift. BTW I just bought in November. 2020 Tacoma SR5 4x4 Loaded with Leather and Subs. A346EBAC-010A-4757-A7B4-13FC2123CA34.jpg

    Since the rear block is 3" I'll guess your drop bracket lift is 4" if the truck is fairly level.

    Your tires are actually a nominal 34". See the Tire Calculator.

    And while you have a 4" lift, your axle line is only raised by the increase of tire radius over stock, so about 1.5"

    I'm going out on a limb here, but you could measure the bracket or the spacer.

    These are a few pics! The rear blocks are 3 inches and the front strut spacer is 4 inches. And a pic of the crossmember. The crossmember is the only thing I see with a ProComp stamp on it. And I know you can just order that separate off Summit Racing hahaha. A566CCA9-2A7E-436B-A8FB-B75F95958C06.jpgCA906D9C-6432-468C-907D-B58FCD444E94.jpg 35FB9AE3-70C4-42AB-871F-560F2F71B0FE.jpg

    It looks way taller in the front in the picture you included.

    I’m certainly no expert on lifts, but a spacer gives twice the lift height of the actual spacer height. So, if that spacer is legitimately 4 inches, that would be a 8 inch lift in the front. Are you positive the spacer isn’t 3 inches and giving you a 6 inch lift?
    But like I said, I am no expert. I don’t know if a drop bracket lift has different geometry than just a standard spacer lift.

    Drop brackets work differently from shock spacers because they physically lower all the mounting points for the suspension. The 2x rule doesn't apply here.

    091E301E-5B66-461A-9704-7070621AEBA1.jpg Yeah it’s exactly a 4 inch spacer between the strut. And a exact 3 inch block in the rear. That’s a pic of the Knuckle. I’m to the point of just ordering a new 6 inch lift and putting it on and just selling the complete lift on it now. Lol I just like to know what I have for my own mind hahaha. Thanks for all the insight :thumbsup:

    Measure the distance from the center of the alignment cam bolt (silver color one on both sides of the bracket) to the center of the black bolt above it.

    looks like 4” to me

    It’s EXACTLY 4 1/2 inches center to center between the Cam bolt to the center of the Black bolt.

    If you are at 27” hub to fender in front, you probably also have a IFS ride height lift. 21 + 4 + 2 = 27. That would explain why your truck looks a bit squated.

    I think you have a 6” lift. Pro-comp uses a small preload spacer in the front coilover in conjunction with the 4” spacer you mentioned. They also use an add a leaf in the rear in conjunction with that 3” block you see. Can you send more pictures of your coilovers and leaf springs?
