Front end sagging?

[mario22582]

Take a look at how close this bump stop is from hitting the arm. This is an 06 V6 2WD with 95K miles on it. Is my front end sagging? Maybe this is why I'm hitting the bump stop over speed bumps. Also should I be concerned with surface rust? This 4runner was driven in Colorado for a year.

The bump stops don't sit too far offthe LCA on stock 4runners. With the info you've provided it's pretty tough to tell if it's sagging but safe assumption would be that with 95k miles on the OEM parts, it probably is.

Assuming you're running the stock tire size, etc you could do a ground to front fender measurement, compare it to the 'stock heights' that some folks list in the lift and tire thread.

Check this thread and then compare to yours

As for the surface rust - nothing to be worried about there. Mine looked like that before I rebuilt/refinished them. If it's a concern to you just wire wheel and repaint them!
