Smile What's the stock height for a 91 4 Runner

Hi Folks, I’m a newbie here and I been reading a lot on this forum and before I start with my question I would like to thank everyone who has provided all this great information.
Here is my question: I recently purchased a 1991 4 Runner and replaced the saggy rear springs with McQuay-Norris Coil Springs part#RCS255V this raised the rear around 2" taken from the trailer hitch to the ground. I would like to adjust my front end to the factory height.
I did a search but I haven’t found these specs. Can anyone direct me in the right direction? If so please provide how and where to take the measurement from. If you have the rear specs please provide them as well, so I can compare.
Thanks for all the Help
:xmas12:

I hate it, because it's hard to do accurately, but the standard dimension for the front is from the top of the rim to the fender opening, and should be about 15" IIRC.

Generally, the front height stays pretty good on these. If you're going to try adjusting the torsion bars, make sure you have replacement adjuster bolts because they frequently break when you turn them.

I happened to measure mine before mods, but I measured from the ground to lip of fender opening. At the time, the truck had 31" tires.

Front: 35.75"
Rear: 33.5" (I had some sag, but not to bad)

Yep. My '94 pickup is untouched and sits with 15" between the top of the rims and the bottom of the fenders.

With the bigger springs use the torsion bar adjustments and just put it where it looks good as long as it isn't too high.
