I just got a new TE. The specs show that it is about 2.5 inches taller than the SR5. Does anyone know why. Is it lifted?

Congrats and Welcome to the forum:thumb3:
That's been brought up before. Not sure what the deal is on that.I've seen them side by side and did'nt see a 2.7 inch difference.
The SR5 and the TE take the same spring part numbers on all 4 corners. The Limiteds have different spring part numbers.
Maybe the roof rack is that much bigger or the guy measuring the TE counted the antenna.

Which numbers are y'all looking at?
flashoffroad-Why did you decide to switch from a H1 to a 4runner Trail?

The roof rack on the trail is taller. It's more "off road" 
and also please search first:

No doubt the Hummer H1 is a super off road machine. I've had 3 of them over the last 15 years and been to Moab 7 times, Colorado too many time to count, the Black hills, TN and West Virginia. My problem is that I live N. of Chicago so I have to drive 1000 miles to get to these places. The Hummer actually rides nice but is pretty loud. On the highway you should keep it around 65 mph. I used the Hummer as my daily driver.
I've kind of been there done that with the extreme wheeling
and am concentrating on camping and photography. I wanted a more 'normal' vehicle that still has the ability to take me off road into the areas I like to go. The Hummer is very maintenance intensive. You have to keep on top of it all the time. It gets 13 mpg on the highway and the price of diesel is 3.33 where I live. I got tired of working on it all the time and wanted some creature comforts. I also haven't had a new car for 12 years so that was fun too.
I looked at the available trucks and the only one that seems to be still serious about 'real' 4 wheeling was the 4runner. I got the trail edition because I wanted a rear locker and the KDSS. I had a detroit on the hummer and it worked great.
So now I get to have some fun and start setting this truck up.
