Sorry For the Stupid question...

Hi All,
I searched all over the places but I could not find any direction on how can i figure out if my 100 series has been lifted or not.
As of now the tires that are on are 285/75/16, and there is a lot of clearance between the top of the tire and the arc of the fender.
I measured from the bottom of the front rim to the fender arc (trough the center of the rim) and I measure 74cm, same measurement on the rear wheel gave me 89cm.

Any thought?
Thanks
Cla

Most people here measure hub center up to fender.

do you know what that measure should be on a stock uzj100?

i have a 2" OME and im 31" in the rear and 30" in the front measured like you did. that comes out to 76 centimeters in the front and 78 3/4 centimeters in the rear. or something like that. I also have 5-600 lbs of tools/gear in the back right now.


are you sure you measured that right? At those measurements the back is sitting 6" higher than the front. try measuring from top of the wheel to the fender or center of the hub to fender lip. a lot more people measure like that.

Just double checked the measurments, and I got 74cm in the front and 79 in the back.
so I assume that my LC has not been lifted...
do you guys agree?

sounds like it could be.
Check the shocks, are they factory? Stock Torsion Bars? is it LC or LX?

Take a picture of the truck?

Here is a side picture of the truck...
Ho do I recognize if the suspensions and sway bars are the factory one?

looks like an LX. just eyeball test says yes lift. someone could have tricked the AHC to sit higher than stock, so you won't see any aftermarket components or shocks. just a thought.

It's def a Land Cruiser

It doesn't look particularly lifted to my eye. Just bigger tires than stock.
