What Lift kit and height do I have ?

[FJ62INTX]

I am trying to figure out what lift kit I have on my 100 ....

I have new Nitto Grapplers sized 285/60R18 that are approximately 31 inches tall

FRONT TIRE FENDER CLEARANCE:

about 5.5 inches




REAR TIRE FENDER CLEARANCE:

about 7.25 inches

Looks like OME torsion bars to me. Do you mean you wonder which rear springs you have?

Yeah, there is a tag on the springs, but no part number that I can see.

I guess I was wondering what lift height this is also....


Are all of the OME torsion bars the same part number?

There's only one option for torsion bars from OME. The height you have up front depends on how much they're cranked up. As for the rear, the white tags should have an 8xx number on them, that would tell you the springs. But, most likely they're ~2" and the variance would come in their load rating.

Thanks TrunkMonkey!


I don't know if it has a diff drop kit on it or not, so I realize that it may be cranked up as much as it can safely be raised without putting the CV's in too much of a bind.

I will remove the engine cover and check it out soon.

Also, I will look at those tags on the rear springs again and see what I can find.

Just so you know what you're looking for. You don't need to remove the engine cover to see the diff drop kit. You have to look underneath the vehicle. The diff drop is arrowed in the first picture, It's angled more than the stock one at the bolt on points, that's what provides the "drop". This picture is taken behind the driver side wheel, looking forward. The engine cover is arrowed in the second picture, under the hood on top of the engine. Hope this helps.

Think he's talking about the fiberglass like "skid plate" thing that covers the underside.

Hard to tell from his post. Just trying to help. Feel free to delete it.

sorry, I meant to say the access panel/ cover that is on the underside of the engine near the oil pan area.

I understand that the diff drop won't be under the decorative engine cover under the hood.


thanks for the pic of the oil pan/ diff area, that does help

Thanks again for the help all,

what size/brand/type of tires do Y'all recommend for HIGHWAY/MUD/QUIET RIDE/LONG LASTING with this lift?

I have BFG A/T's on my old FJ62 and I have enjoyed them, but, are there other aggressive tires that have more capabilities and long lasting performance of these tires, that run just as quiet or better than the Nitto Terra Grapplers I have on there now?


I am going to swap the light used 285/60R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers from this 2006 Series 100 to my wife's new-used 2008 Landcruiser very soon I think.

Duratracs. The only issue with those is the soft sidewall. Although I haven't run into any problems yet...

 

[DJWUZJ]

Here is a side by side of 866's and 865's respectively. 866's are progressive and intended for heavier loads, while both net about 1.5" in the rear.

Additionally, the measurement I have from the floor to the top of the wheel well is 38.5" when completely unloaded, wearing 33.25" tires. It only sagged 1/8" after I broke in the 866's.

Thanks Guys!

Should I adjust the torsion bars up a bit to level it out with maybe an inch of rake?

What is the normal standard setup for a lift?

I am looking at 295/65r18 Goodyear wrangler duratracs

I am not going to regear, but I don't want any rubbing...

Any other sizes to recommend?
