Post your Fender to hub measurements!

[TacticalSR5]

Its nice to know how much lift everyone put on their car to fit their tires; But when you think about it, it isn't very accurate of the cars overall ride height.

Every 4runner sits at a different height before it gets lifted, so this is posted to see how much height everyone has from the fender to the center of the hub, and how they handle their tires with their lift setup. Its nice to know where the actual height of everyones 4runner is.


I installed Bilsteins 5100's on TRD Tundra coils last night and I sit at 23 inches in the front now. thats only ~2 inches of lift. Now, lets see how that heigh compares to others rides.

If this gets good participation, then this will be a great reference to everyone.

24.5" in the front and 26" in the back. Thats with a 1" body lift. so 2.5" of lift up front. and bout 3.5 in the back.

Front has SAW coilovers, and they rider great at this height. THe rear has ome 891's, 2 10mm trim packers per side and the stock rubber cones

While it is better than ground to fender to eliminate tires from the equation, its still not universal (although its a close as we can get). The limited/sport fenders intrude into the fender wells like 1/4" or something, so that will mess things up a bit.

But I'll still play, here's mine:

Measurements are taken from center of hub to fender on the driver's side:

Before: with LC80 8 wrap.
Front: 22 1/4"
Rear: 24 3/4"

After: with OME 890.
Front:22 1/2"
Rear:23 1/4"

Side shot with OME 890:

Here we go, the big unavailing to the forum!

From:

To:

Driver's side front measures in at 22.5

Driver's rear comes in at 20.5 because they rear is stock still! It has been clearing the 285's just fine.

Preview, the jack put the rear up 3 inches. Couldn't resist finding out.

I'm a Pic whore so as soon as i get the time ill take some better shots.

[jmildoc]

I wanna play! Well sort of I will post my measurements which I dont know how accurate they are

Prior to lift I had smaller wheels and tires..

I always measure form the bottom of the wheel/rim to the lip of the fender
Front
Driver 29 3/8 prior to lift 32 1/2 after lift

Passenger 28 3/8 prior 32 after

Rear
Driver 28 1/2 prior 34 after

Passenger 29 before 33 after

Still dont know why it leans to the passenger side.

I'm around 26" iirc al around. I'll have to double check. It's been a while.

 

[Doc2012]

26.5 up front

28 in the back.

 

[MyHigh]

20" on all 4
Old ready to be retired 99 suspension.

Thanks for all who have posted their height hub to fender.
Along with combination of front/ back parts
It truly helps in my quest for new parts and desired height after lift.

I'm looking to sit at 22" maybe 23" at the very most when done
So far I only have the tundra 5100 but more is to come in the future!

I have a '99 SR5 Highlander with *I think* the tall coils. As far as I know they are the factory springs (meaning 200k+ miles on them). I measured right after I filled up the gas tank.

Front Driver: 21"
Front Passenger: 22"
Rear Driver: 20"
Rear Passenger: 22"

I can understand the rear driver side corner dropping, but does a 2" sag sound right with a full tank? And should the front driver drop as well?

What's weird is that from everything I have read, my passenger side is high, both front and rear, but maybe that is because the driver side is sagging, forcing the passenger side to come up?
