Front lift too high?

[Sherwood4Runner]

Went to get an alignment today and they came back and told me they couldn't​ align it because my rack had so much play in it. My ITRE, OTRE, and lower ball joints are all newer, but the rack has been troublesome for a bit. At 310k miles on the original power steering rack I could tell it was coming to an end soon. I put the truck back to stock suspension tonight unfortunately. I'm probably going to end up selling my lift to finance the new rack.

To add to the mystery, stock front measurements are 22" and rear (sagged) 20.75".

Thanks for all the help and input. Consider this issue "resolved"

22" on 310K worn out suspension ? :noidea: Something is wrong . But hey , throw your lift back on the rear and call it good ! :rofl:

Honestly the rear lift looked great with the stock front (stock springs, Bilstein HD shocks). Perfect amount of rake. I'll have to revisit that sometime in the future. The sag is killing me!

Guess the lift gave me 3" of lift after​ all....

Don't sell the lift! Check this out first and see if this could be causing play.
