TRDRunner, what are you running in the rear for it not to be even? Just the SS kit? I'm going to be putting the TRD 4WD Tundras upfront on my 3rd gen, with the Topout spacers and maybe a diff drop. I'm running the smaller LC's "7wrap" in the rear with LC shocks. I also am running 285's! I just don't want to have a rake still ???

you'll rake it with one top out, if you have two topouts and some weight in the rear it sits even, mines even right now with tire carrier, tire, sub and my donahoe coilovers sittin in the trunk area.

You must have the longer LC's? Not to go "Off" topic but what year did your springs come off of? Do you know what the length of your coils were prior to putting them on or how many wraps? 7 or 9 ? I was told that my coils are the same length as 890 OME's and Gerdo's rig only has a 3/4" difference between front and rear with no spacer? I'm only 2 inches off now with a stock coil and a Daystar 2.5 spacer? Just wondering now? Oh, I'm planning on putting Bilsteins on too. I don't know if that make any difference.

if i had 8 wraps id know it, i counted them anyways and its 7, their isnt a 9 wrap count LC coil

8 wrapped coils give like 4.5 inch rear lift, even 3 topout spacers with that raer setup would rake like uber bad.

Interesting? I know there's different coils out there because when I bought mine , A ton of people were trying to sell me LX450 coils. The guy I bought mine from, sat the LX's and the later ones side by side with the 95's and they are taller. I wonder if I will be closer than 2 inches? Not really much point in doing this if the Tundras won't lift me any. It sure seems like alot of cash to burn if you get the same amount of lift from the Daystar spacer. I guess functionality is increased with the Tundras.

Measuring from the ground to the fender edge dead center up the wheel it was 34" front. And rear was 37". A full 3 inch diference between front and rear? I gotta be able to do better than that? With the Tundra coils and spacers yeh think?? Just a litttle closer??Before I end up getting discouraged and I'm going to just rip it all off and go back to stock!

Well the fenders arent cut the same....

Measure along the flat part of the frame, right behind where it comes down from the engine, and right before it goes up for the rear axle, that will tell you how far off level you are.

I was just wanting a comparison in measurements. Sonoran, sells basicly this set up I'm shooting for, and claiming 2.0" front and 3.5 rear. Thats not that bad. Not as much as I have.

I understand what you were looking for, but its not relative. If you want to compare your rig to other you need to go from the hub to the fender, as tires will make the ground-fender measurement off.

Most runners sag about 1-1.5" in the rear, so that kit will make you level, even in your sagged more now, because thats a measurement from stock, not from where you are now.

I was just looking for an estimate. If I can't get a better stance than have now, there's really no point in doing it. It's really not that bad, it rides awesome, and it tows the boat better. I'll just hang onto the Tundras and if I get bored I probably end up putting them on. Just to sell the Daystars I have.

yeah im 36"to the middle of the front fender and 39 in the back.

97limited, what are your measurements?


i just want to lift it about another inch or 2 so its a little bit more level.

im getting new tires today.

im going from 265's to 285's

so hopefully that will make it look better with a bigger meaner tire.

I'm running 285's right now. Thats why I'm looking to even it out. I guess maybe I should get a set of OME's instead of the LC's I have in the back.
