Newbe here,

I have already learned a ton from this forum, but I am hoping someone here can shed some light on my new rig. I bought this about a month ago and have had it checked by a few mechanics (even 4wheelparts), but no one seems to really know what lift I have.

I use this as a daily-driver (but I don't drive much) and as a field vehicle with about 230 mi on highway and 30 mi / week in the Mojave Desert (I study bats for work).

When I bought this it had 305s (in first pics) but I have changed to a used set of 265/75 for the time being. The 305s seemed to fit but rubbed the uca, I suspect that 285s would fit without a problem.

I know the front has some kind of Bilstein adjustables with a spacer, but they are not the 5100s that are talked about here. The rear has large coils, Rancho shocks, and limiting straps. I don't know how much lift this gives the truck.

I have some more questions but I figured I would start out with the basics. Also let me know if I need better pics.

Thanks for the help.

With 305s


Front Spacer.


Front Bilsteins, Do I need a diff drop?


Rear: Wheel well sits about 3 inches above a yard with 305s.


rear.



With 265/75.

 

Looks like a Cornfed spacer on the front, in conjunction with a Bilstien adjustable coilover? If the rear springs are black without paint marks then you could assume they are old man emu's. If they have paint marks then they are probably either stock with spacers on top, or FJ-80 coils (probably not likely).

 

Thanks for the info SC.

I forgot to mention, there are no spacers in the rear and the coils are gold (or yellow) colored.

Thanks

 

i'd get a diff drop if I were you. Tacoma's and 4runners are usually pretty level when it comes to cv joints. even those bad boys out a little bit... take the strain off them.
