    Looking for info on how the Platinum sits vs a 1794.
    I have a Plat and adjusted rear height (moved avs arms underneath to maximize rear height). While this helps the rear sit higher the front of the truck still sits too low for my liking. This opinion has been shared by many throughout forums, leading me to the question, does the 1794 in general sit similar to the Platinum or higher? Unless it just the pictures i'm seeing the 1794 looks like it sits higher overall.
    I'm not one to take apart a new truck to add lift kits or anything like that so depending on the responses maybe my future purchase would sway towards a 1794.

    Any thoughts/opinions are appreciated.

    If they are specced with the same suspension I'd guess they are identical in ride height. The eye/mind can easily be tricked. Level ground, running boards, even truck color can make it appear to sit differently.

    Within 2 days of each other I saw a 1794 and Platinum in person, both crew max 6.5 beds, one white one red. I thought the 1794 looked LOW and the Platinum was normal. But it was likely just the way they were parked and where I was in relationship to the truck.

    1794 can be optioned with TRD Off Road package as well, which may actually sit different than a Platinum or AVS 1794...

    I was going to adjust the lever for my air suspension to lift my back up because I thought it was squatting a bit, but I measured beforehand and it was actually sitting 2 inches higher in the back. This was measured on flat ground from the bottom of the wheel arch to the ground. Some measure to the center of the wheel, but I don't know if that would make a difference in a stock setup with stock tires so I didn't bother. I think the trucks just generally look kind of squatty.

    Measure to a spot on the frame, that’s a better measurement. Measuring to the center of the wheel is stupid, it only depends on how much air is in the tire.

    For reference, 4x2 stance is lower than 4x4 and Platinum and 1794 are basically the same. Springs are perfect so some vehicles may be slightly lower but it will be by 10ths of an inch.
    Toyota spec sheet for reference:

    From the center of the wheel to the bottom of the wheel arch, not to the ground. It would measure the height of your suspension relative to the center of your hub, vs the height of the truck relative to the ground. I should have clarified.

    Lol wow sorry! I immediately thought from the ground. That’s definitely a valid way to measure ride height.
