I know I have to measure from flange to flange, but how to get an accurate measurement before the springs settle?

I've got a 2nd gen 4runner with TG 3" lift, high pinion diff, the lighter 22RE motor, tube bumper and winch.

What's the best way to get an accurate measurement?

I asked this question on TG and got a good suggestion (I'll share later) but I wanted to solicit a second opinion.

Thanks!

P.S. Anyone else have a 3" TG lift and did you measure how much it settled?

Depends on how much slip spline you have, if using a DC joint etc

Typically 10" slip with 2" or more showing at flange to flange.

Yes, planning on ordering a long-spline balanced CV shaft from Davez' since I do a fair amount of desert running at high speed.

So, measure flange-to-flange before the leafs settle and subtract 2" when ordering? That's also what Fireball said when I asked on the TG forum.

Thanks for the advice, Wabbit.
