Stock height for 01 tacoma dbl cab? (1 Viewer)

[bowyer2002]

I am rebuilding a set of 2" coil over Sway-a-way shocks.
I currently have custom spacers in the front for approx. 2.5" lift.
(But I really don't know the actual lift gained, they've been on for 5 yrs and I have increased tire size too)
SO, I want to know the stock height from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender.
Then I can adjust the coilovers for the proper lift of 2.5".
I realize that I could just set them up to what I have now but I may have some OEM spring sag (145K miles) BUT I don't want to over-lift the front end at the expense of my CV joints.
Any help is appreciated!

I will also post up my shock rebuild and install pictures as soon as I get a chance.

Just measured mine and it's 20.75". I do have 126k on the truck, so there's probably a little sag.

thanks a lot for the info
i have come to a stopping point anyway.
I got the coilover installed on the drivers side, but the passinger side lower shock mount bold seemes to be corroded to the shock.
I gave it several wacks with a 9lb sledge hammer to no avail - taking it into a shop for them to fool with it later this week.

Did you spray some PB Blaster on there? Spray and leave it over night. My old 4Runner's came off with no troubles at all.

Thanks for the suggestion I had already sprayed it for 2 days.
It is really seized - my friend owns the shop I'm taking it to so I know they'll take care of it. Also they specialize in tractor trailers and farm machinery - so I KNOW they can get things un-stuck!
BTW - I also noticed that my exhaust pipe was broken in half behind the muffler. Huh, THAT is what that erratic banging was .

UPDATE -

Shop was NOT able to get it un-stuck, so now it's up to me to work on it!

Oh, well I get more time in the garage - now that it is 100F with the heat index!

maybe some will help me work thru this?
