I think we measured it at about 39" right after the install, that's about 2" higher than it was before.  However, it has settled quite a bit, so I'm going to measure again when I get back home tomorrow.

Well, here's the good stuff...

First off, deduct .5" off the measurements I posted in post #82. I measured with the tape straight today. With it bent, the measurements were off about .5". Anyway, new height is 38.25" from fender to ground, front and rear. 23.5" from fender to hub, front and rear.

Looks killer!! You've got yourself a great rig! Only 4 hours? I helped a friend replace the ball joints and coil-overs on his '96 Tacoma took three of us 2 days. Haha

Well, it was little over 4, to be fair.  haha  I was on one side, Toro was on the other. Woody and OccupantX plugged away on the skids and then the diff, while we were working on the suspension.  It was a pretty good team.

Looks awesome man! Saw the pics on IG first.

Did you have your front sway bar on before the swap??

Thank-you.  The truck is a little bit of an IG whore.   lol

I did have the sway bar installed prior.  At this point, I wish I had removed it a long time ago.

Haha, mine has taken over my page too.

Ahhh, dang.  I was hoping you had it off before to see how much of a difference it was with your aftermarket suspension vs. titan swap. I was thinking most guys say its a huge difference because most run sway bars and then with a titan swap they don't have one for the first time. No front sway really is a huge difference.
