How much rear lift do you have on your 1990-1995 4Runner?

Just post a number, nothing else. Thanks. We are trying to find a sweet spot for our drop bar. Right now it's looking like 3" or 3.5"

Thanks.

Dunno, I forgot to measure before and after. Would the raw height numbers help you?

I don't know. I just need to nail down a number for the new drop bar, since we "finally" got the DOM tube and a 2nd Gen core bar.

I'm thinking either 3" or 3.5"

So I think I'm seeing two heights here, 2" even and 3.5".

Since these are custom made, no problem. A 2" and a 3.5" can be available.

The first one is Ed's and that will be a 3.5".

1.5-1.75 OME

(although if you look at the fender measurement from before to after it was like 2.5" counting ass sag old springs)

1.5" via Eibach coils, but I think that actually brings it to 0" (stock height) from the ass sag... looking at doing 1.5 spacers - so it will be 1.5" - 3" depending on where you say the starting point is - stock as it left the factory in 1993 or stock as it sat 12 yrs later...

I talked to Cheese and he measured the Downey bracket and it is 3" hole to hole. So ok.

This bar will be 3.5" drop. There will not be a 2" bar as you do not have enough lift to warrant one.

So the 2nd Gen drop bar will be 1.5" OD DOM for 3.5" of lift.

The 3rd Gen bar will stay standard 1.5" OD tube for 2.5" of lift.

No. I won't send the tube up to Stubbs until more of the 3rd Gen SAS stuff comes in, probably next week.

Nope, if it looks level, it's fine.
