How much did you crank down your Hoes?

[bulldog]

Just want to know from those of you with Hoes on your 05+ Taco how much you cranked them down and how much lift you got.

I have a 03 V8 4Runner which is quite bit heavier than the new Tacos. I installed my Hoes a while back and only had to crank the driver side 3 turns to level. So current I have about 1 1/2" thread showing on my passenger side and 1 3/4" on the dirver side. This gives more than 3" lift on the V8 4Runner, which leads me to believe the Taco comes quite bit higher in the front from the factory compared to the 4Runner. Looking at the upper A-arms on the dealer lot of stock 4Rs and Tacos (TRD) it definitely looks like the Tacos a-arm sits quite a bit lower.

2" of thread showing on the drivers side, slightly less on the pass. side. No CV issues yet, but I still rub when hammering the front end through rough stuff with the wheel turned.

Thx, so how much suspension lift did you get with the Hoes cranked the way they are? The fender measurements will be affected by the tires as well.

I like to pound my Ho really hard. Thats what I pay them for.

3" of lift with 2" of thread. My tires measure out to 32" (285/75 R-16 BFG MT's)

my fenders are at 37"... ill have to check the amount of thread showing tomorrow.

I cranked mine up a few more turns last night, fenders measure 40" now and I still rub in the woops. I am going to see if I can get the alignment shop to push the tires forward a bit more and I am getting shit together to build a bumper to make room up front. That stock pos is going in the trash.

Not if you take your before/after measurements from the center of the wheel.

mine was from the ground with stock wheels/tires.

285/75-16s are 33"

When I installed mine I left then at 2 inches of lift and got 33 inches from ground to fender with stock tires.

After I put mine on I went to a dealer with a tape measure. Found a DC OR (shortbed) and measured ground to flare 35" front, 37" in back.

Either you got some sagging going on or that longbed is rreeeaallllyyy heavy!

Mine measure in at 37" in the front and that's with them set at the height they came and 265/75 16's.

Stock front center of wheel to fender 20.5". Rear center of wheel to fender measurement is 22.5". My truck measures 23" in front and 24.5" in the rear. and take a tape to a 285 75. bet it measures 32"
