@btao 2.5" lift comes stock on the trailhunter? Source of that information?

Thanks for the note, read it wrong/quick.... the shock size was 2.5", lift is 2" front 1.5 rear

Are you assuming the trailhunter comes with the trd 2.5 lift? It doesn’t. I am pretty sure it was determined that trailhunter and pro come with 1” front lift.

About halfway down, ARB states it. They did the package for Toyota.

Well that must be including the additional 1" of lift due to the tire size vs base SR5. I have no clue where it's gets the extra .5 inch in the rear.

If it was truly getting such a lift it would have higher clearance and taller overall height than the say OR which has same tire would be mean Toyota specs are incorrect seeing how comparing the specs of SR5 , OR (same tire size) and Trailhunter (and pro) shows it's can't be a 2" lift in front and can't be 1.5" lift as the numbers do not add up.

Everything I have read on the Pro and TH say 2" front and 1.5 " rear.

Well that math says that is not correct Unless what you rear is saying Toyotas specs are incorrect. There is 2“ difference from sr5 to pro for clearance, the stock tires on a sr5 are ~2” smaller that accounts for 1” of the clearance and is equal to the clearance of the OR trip which has same size tire. So that leaves 1”. Now if there was 2 lift that difference should be 3“ to the stock sr5 unless and 2” to the OR trim unless those both also have 1“ lifts which at that point saying the trailhunter has 2“ lift is kind of bs but technically true.
the over all height difference is 1.4 and .4 inches And the best number to evaluate the rear lift as I believe the highest part of vehicle is in the rear, Again we have tire to make up 1” again unless they all have at least 1” lift it can’t have 1.5“ lift. there may be a slight lift (.5”) in rear but definitely not 1.5” and the height difference is likely due to trigonometry and the 1” lift in the front.

if They are trying to say the they are 2” higher than sr5 in front of and ~1.5 but not really 1.5” in the rear higher than the sr5 than yes that is correct. The specs say that quite clearly. But that has as much to do with the tires as it does anything else. Kind of like width and track that is all due to the rim offset.

The numbers are what is reported. Take your tape measure to Toyota and report back. Perhaps the different ball joints, UCA and tire on the TH and Pro account for Toyota, and all the magazines that are posting the numbers.

They also have longer travel in the shocks.

I can tell you I measured a number in different trims before purchasing to insure that it would fit in my garage with a rtt. And they all were very close to advertised numbers not off by amounts that would be needed to account for these much larger numbers claimed. Unless Toyota just said ok fuck it we will lie about the pro and Trailhunter so no one knows what was done I am going to take the Toyota numbers at face value. And where is this Toyota documentation of these numbers? The Toyota press release does NOT include these number it's does talk about 2.5" forged monotube shocks but that not lift.

The Pro and Trailhunter do not have a 2.5" lift.
