    Ok, hey everybody, quick question, hopefullysomebody can help. I bought a 07 tundra with a lift already installed. Eventually I'd like 2 replace it with a whole new set up. In the meantime, my ball joints are going bad and under further review, my struts inside the coil are looking kinda shabby. Nobody could tell me what size lift is on the truck, some say 6 inch, others say 4. Long story short, just bought replacement struts for a 6 inch lift and they measure about 4 inches longer than what's on my truck already. So, bigger spacer blocks? Or smaller struts??

    Nice Tundra. When you get time get some close up picks of the coilovers and the rear to see how it was lifted too. Looks like 6".

    Looks like 6 but if u got blocks on the back measure those. If u got a 4inch block it’s a 6inch lift in the front. 2-3 inch block then 4 inch lift. Don’t forget there is a 5 inch lift out there also lol

    Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. I know I saw spacer blocks in the back, read that they're typically 2 inches smaller and they look 2 be 4 inches tall. When we get the new struts in there, will the weight of the truck lower the strut a couple of inches? I'm so new to this and I have a million questions, just in the mean time, I need this truck for work so I'm trying to figure this out asap! Thank you again

    @fisherman951 thanks! This is the case with the blocks, 4 inches easily. I figure worse case scenario I'm gonna have a little lean back going lol
