Quick Measurement Question

[02_SE_Runner]

For some reason the search function is not working for me tonight.
Anyways I was wondering what the stock measurements on a 4runner would be without spring sag from ground to fender is (or however you guys would measure it).
I would like to know before I lift my 4Runner this Saturday just to see where I stand with stock measurements, and to see how much I would need to inflate my rear bags to get the correct lift after the spacers.
Much appreciated.
Nate.

It depends on the model year. You don't have a signature, but I assume from your user name that you have an '02? Either that or you just like oxygen. '02 was the lowest, if I recall. If your suspension is currently stock, I guess I'm not understanding why you can't just take your current measurements and use that as your base. Or is it because you have some sag?

I'm asking in case I do have sag (In the front). I am running air bags in the rear because I do have rear sag so I wanted to know some stock measurements.
It is an 02, I figured all 3rd gens would be around the same but I guess not. Thanks for the Info.

I don't know the actual heights, but there are definitely differences. '99 is an inch and a half or so taller than '00, which is an inch or so taller than '01-'02. A common way to get the appearance of a slight lift while still remaining "stock" is to put '99 coils and shocks on a non-'99 4Runner. That's how my '00 is, and I got nearly 2" from doing so.

Yeah, usually 4WD have about an 1" or a little less on 2WD and older are a bit higher than newer, in some cases.

A pretty sick thread started by [MENTION=52371]Gerdo[/MENTION] to get opinions on various 4runners.

Looks like maybe:
Front: 20.25"
Rear: 21"
This seems the most common. Oh an BTW, their measurements are from center of Hub to the fender.

My tuck doesn't agree with this. I even had the Highlander/sport edition and it was still on some LOW RIDER springs.. guessing the same as the 01-02's.

My 4x4 2002 SE measured 33.875" from ground to bottom edge of fender flare when it was stock. This equates to about 19" from center of hub to fender flare. That was for the fronts. The rears were about 1/4" higher.

your truck could be a late 2000 MY and could've come with the SE package, not the Highlander package.
