Heres my problem and yes I have used the search function......

My truck has 130K miles and the front suspension was sagging really bad so I decided to get me some brand spanking new Icon CoilOvers. The coilovers come factory set to 2 inches of lift but varies with each truck due to single cab, extended cab, 4 door or if you have an aftermarket bumper or not ( got that info from reading forums). So after doing alot of reading on this forum, members recommend measuring from the bottom of the frame to the ground (on flat ground of course). But since my trucks front was sagging before i replaced the coilovers, this would of given me an inacurate measure. So i went ahead and installed the front CO's then cranked them to get some more lift. I put them on then drove the truck for 1,000 miles and measured from my frame to the floor. The measurement was 17 1/2 inches. The thread showing on the CO was 1 1/2 inches ( i know people say not to measure the thread because its differnet for every truck)...........

1,000 miles later i cranked the CO's to get more of a lift and my measurements are as follows.... From the frame to the floor its 18inchs (which gave me 1/2 inch lift) and the thread showing on the CO's is 2 3/8 of an inch (I cranked them to expose slightly over 3/4 of an inch)

Since i didnt know the correct height before i lifted my truck (due to sagging oem suspension), i dont know EXACTLY how much of a lift my truck has and since its 4x4 its not recommended to go over 2 1/2 inches of lift. Can someone help me or give me general info..... Here is a picture of the CV boots. Do the fins look to close? Or am I okay. Im not looking to go any higher but i just want to know if this is okay as i dont want anything to get damaged. Can someone please tell me what the stock height is on a 2002 quad cab taco from the frame to the ground running 265 70 16's.

Thanks for everyone that reads this!!!

What do you guys think of the distance between the fins?







From the bottom of the plate that says icon to the top of the plate where the spanner wrench goes into its 2 3/8 after i cranked the CO's...


Fronm the bottom of the frame to the floor its now 18 inches after i cranked the CO's...

your cv angles look good to me I'm not sure what height your supposed to be at stock though. is your rig sitting level as far as lift front and rear? If it's where you want it I'd call it good. Have you got an alignment yet?
