What's my lift? (guesstimate)

[patkelly4370]

The truck, 2017 SR5. Bought it used, 20k miles, and I've done nothing to the suspension. Yet. Also, currently no aftermarket bumpers or skid plates at the moment.
It has a 1½" spacer on top of the strut, which appears to be OEM.
I have no idea if there's a spacer in the rear as I assume it's hidden.
All four corners measure 22¼" to 22½" hub center to fender.
How much am I lifted front and/or rear?

All rigs are a bit different and without knowing exactly what the stock measurements were there's a bit of room for error. That being said about 2-2.5" font and about 1-1.5" rear

That's something that I find surprising is that (I've read this a few times) a 1½" spacer on top of the shock raises it more than 1½".
I'm not doubting, just trying to figure the mechanics of it.
Figuring what it has will help with making it right. I prefer to have a longer shock/spring instead of a spacer.
When either I break something, or the shocks need replacement (prefer the latter) I want to upgrade the right way.
So should I get really curious and check the rear, I should find a spacer on the top or bottom of the spring. Is there an isolator of some kind that comes original?

Geometry.... just draw it out and it will make sense to you.

The geometry on these equates to almost a 2:1 on lift - aka if you add 1" to the coil you SHOULD gain 2" at the wheels - due to sag on OEM coils etc, and your hub to fender measurements vs. what I have I'd say you are pulling a 2.5" lift (assume 20" hub to fender as a baseline measurement - some 4Runners are less, some are a hair higher)

I agree with the 2.5 up front. I don’t think you have any lift in the rear.

I forgot to comment on the rear - fully agree with you on nothing in the rear. my measurements stock in the rear were at 22/22.25.

Thanks for all the replies.
This is quite helpful for future replacement/upgrade parts.
I am happy with the stance and height.

One avenue I'm looking at is the "tummy tuck". Gaining breakover clearance.
Not really looking to go any higher.
