May any 1999s take their measurements for me?

I’d like to get an idea of how much I’m sagging. I’m lifting soon, as well, so it would be nice to see where I’m at.

For reference, my approximate measurements:


-FD hub to fender 20.75”

-FD ground to fender 35”

-RD hub to fender 21”

-RD ground to fender 35.5”



-FP hub to fender 21”

-FP ground to fender 35.5”

-RP hub to fender 21.5”

-RP ground to fender 36”

(penis measurements not required, but not discouraged)

Looking at my prior posts, I was 20.5" hub to flare all around (on 100% original, stock everything ~ meaning as it left the factory, no maintenance to any parts).

Sounds like you have a little less sag than normal, as I seem to recall I was about "normal", and the typical Toy-lean (measurements done with a full tank of fuel by chance?)

Yep, not on purpose, but that’s when I remembered to do it — I measured literally immediately after filling up.

....$1.19 at Costco in New Mexico....:happy:

21" all around (ish) is the stock '99 tall measurment.

The rest are 20" or so or lower. My '99 2WD (not tall) was just over 20" all around before any mods started.

Looks like you don't have any sag, and the rear springs might have already been replaces with something recently (aftermarket '99 tall coils or similar).

Do flares count in measurement...is fender a little lower ? Tire size effect it too as a 265/75 will raise up your car a smidgen higher than a 265/70

so I have a 2000, but installed 99talls and kyb's about 40k ago. So its kind of a 99 as far as suspension ?
Ive done some long heavily loaded long trips, and some fair amount of back roads.
I just happened to check the other day because Im thinking of doing some mods that will add weight and might need to up my spring capacity

currently im at 35.5 front, 35.75 rear, give or take, dont remember what I was before...I think i have lost some height due to age ( me and my car )

also running 265/75/16....half tank of gas

also I rarely have an issue with my 265/75 hitting inside feder where as others have said they do.

Measure from the center of the hub to the fender lip, and tire size will have no effect on that. The thickness of the flare as it wraps around the fender might have a minor effect on the measurement, but it is something like 1/16" thick...

good point....didnt think about that ( measurement and tire size)
