Is this what you're looking for?

Method for measuring lift?

Is there a standard way of measuring resultant lift on a GX 460? On the 100 series, one would measure center of hub vertically to the fender. this was a good way to measure side to side, and front to back, as well as compare lifts on various rigs since it removed the tire/wheel from the...

Great info. Thanks!

Anyone remember or have the numbers written down for the measurements front center of the wheel to fender both front and rear? I lost it and trying to figure out some numbers. Thanks

I measured 34" front & 35 3/4" rear from ground to fender. Not sure if that helps you.

That includes tire/wheel combo, and makes it hard to compare. If you measure center of wheel (hub) up to the lowest center part of the fender (vertical line), it takes the tire/wheel out of the equation and allows comparisons to different trucks.

That’s true, but figured it’s somewhat comparable as we have the same tires and 17” wheels.

Thinking out loud here..

Has anyone done or know anyone who has removed the kdss system and either runs without it or installed a regular sway bar? Looks like there are factory points for a 5th gen 4runner sway bars to bolt up since it shares a similar frame.

I want to lift the front another inch but don’t want to deal with more lean issues.

Thanks!

Went to Cle Elum for the weekend. Rented a cabin and fished all weekend. My oldest got her first fish!

Good read and awesome video on the LC300

Toyota Used the '90s Land Cruiser to Benchmark the 2022 Model

When you're trying to build the best off-roader of all time, you've gotta take notes from those that came before you.

Still hoping the 300 series Land Cruiser makes it way to the US. Even as a LX would be okay as longs as you could purchase it without the ride height adjusting suspension.

Ordered KDSS spacers from Treaty Oak Off-road. Can wait to get a little more flex out of her!

Just installed the KDSS spacers. Anyone else run them?

I’m going back and forth on these. I currently have no lean, but I assume that it’ll also help with the suspension geometry.

The front helps lean the rear helps with articulation. Also from what I’ve read and noticed now myself is that the cornering is better due to sway bar back at its oem angle of the dangle.

Got a trip planned coming up this Saturday. Leaving early in the morning for Oregon coast for 3 days, then off to the Columbia River on the WA side just past Maryhill State Park for another 3 days. Bringing all my fishing gear. Will post pictures.

Will post pictures.

Make it happen! Have fun.

 

[CaptRussia253]

Packed and heading out early in the morning.

 

[CaptRussia253]

And we’re out!

Is that a Flagstaff pop up? My wife and I are going to get one by 2022 or early next year I think.

It’s a rockwood 1640esp. We like it a lot.
