2000 4Runner Sport/Highlander stock height
I just installed my lift (OME rear and SAW front), and me being a dumb a$$, I forgot to measure the stock/before height. Is there someone with a stock 2000 Sport/Highlander 4x4 that would measure the height (ground to bottom of fender flare) so it would give me "somewhat" of an idea of how much to crank up the SAW's. I still have the stock 265/70 R16's @ 36 PSI's. Thanks.

Front: 34.25"
Rear: 34.75"
Those are the averages that I've come across for the 2000's.
Here are some others:
Front diff skid: 10"
Body seam: 17.5"
Transfer case: 11.25
Rear: 34.75"

Jim,
Actually, I need to correct myself here. At the time I wrote that, I thought I kept averages, but in fact, I kept the highest values. The variances are very small, though. We're generally talking 1/4", and 1/2" at the most, though the numbers above are what I've found to be most common. So no, I wouldn't expect any (2000's or newer) to be much, if any, higher.

Sorry for the Mini Hyjack
Well, I guess mine is lifted farther than I thought.
I sit at:
39.5 Rear
38.25 Front
I must be getting used to it because I thought my springs were sagging, it just seems lower.

So, you're sitting roughly at 2.5 and 3.25". Not bad.

But realistically they probably only add about an 1", but I have a 1" BL too.
So the front is probably only lifted about 2" and the back 2.75", that's more like what I thought I had.

I forgot about your body lift.
More math:
My 285's have netted exactly 1.5" over the OEM's. All rear diffs sit at 9.5" with stock 265/70's, so You can calculate your difference from that. For what it's worth, I also previously ran 265/75 MT/R's, which added .5".

So that put's me at about 3" in the rear and 2.25" in the front.

[QUOTE=Darren]Front: 34.25"

Well, I was hoping stock was a little higher than that. I currently sit at 36.75 front and 38 rear. I guess I'm right at the max in the front. Thanks for the info.
