Stock SR5 measurements needed

[TacoBirdinNW]

Can someone with a stock SR5 long bed give me their hub to fender measurements ? Specifically the rear.
I changed my rear suspension and tires up a couple times and my original measurements were ground to fender. Trying to determine stock factory height from center of the rear hub to bottom of the fender.

Cheers

Thanks dude! Gemini said that as well, was just trying to verify! I'm @ 25 right now with my overland springs and 400ish lbs

Front and rear both 25? So you’re level then.
I’m at 23 front and 24 rear with dobinson springs and stock trd off-road struts. Fixing to install Bilstein 6112/6100 and hoping it stays about the same height.

No I'm @ 23 in the front with 5100s @ the 1st circlip which was initially 1.5" of lift, think I'm only at 1" lift in the front now with the camper. I'm more concerned with the rear to be sure I'm not too far out of the 1.5" lift the rears are designed to accommodate. Deciding if I want to add a rear bumper + swingout or if I want to just leave it and raise the front a clip

If you add anything to the rear you could always just add a spring to accommodate the weight. It’s pretty straightforward and you could do it yourself if you’re comfortable with it. That would save some cost for labor

Well that's what I'm saying, that's why it's up @ 25" right now. Had a 1/2 inch spacer, swapped to a 1" spacer, then when I got my camper swapped to Icon overland springs which are supposed to be 1/2" over stock height with 600# constant, but right now with 400# I'm almost 2" over stock height.
So yea! Either add some weight, or bring the front up, but I don't want to be over 1.5" in the rear because that's all the Bilsteins are rated for in extra lift.

Oh, I misunderstood. I see now what you’re saying. Yeah that’s why I’m fixing to install the Bilsteins. The factory suspension parts are at their limits on mine.

I hear ya! I wish Bilstein had something that would accommodate a 2" lift in the rear. I'd probably just leave it. Looks like factory rake with the camper on and don't mind it, just don't like being out of spec, but once I'm loaded up with gear it sits nice.

Looks good

Does an equal measurement from fender lip to hub on both front and rear result in a visually level truck? Are the body lines aligned in a way that this would be true? Just curious.

No. Not in my experience. When I initially leveled by the fender the front was nose high. You'll noticed if you start looking at side profiles of people's "leveled" trucks - most of them are nose high. Best way to get the truck level was measuring on flat surface from the ground to the rocker front and rear @ the cab.
This was "leveled" from hub to fender lip:

Flattish pullout

On a very slight incline

Thanks for the responses.
