92 Toyota PU 2WD - spring height ?????

Sep 17, 2004 1 Replies

How can I find out the spring height on my 92 Toyota PU 2WD. Obviously it has LEAF springs.



I use a tape measure to measure DOWN from the center of the UPPER part of the wheel well to level ground and get 27 inches. So in effect I am measuring the TIRE OPENING down the center of the axle. No loads of junk in the bed.



My neighbor borrowed a Mazda B2300 truck - same kind of little ½ half ton PU and when I measured his truck, it was like 4-5 inches higher than mine.



Hence I am wondering if my springs need to be re-arched at my local spring works.



I have no idea what the original "ride height" was . TIA


Tire size will also affect that measurement. One way to check if the truck is riding level is to measure from the ground up to the frame in 2 places along the flat portion of the frame between the wheels. For example, if you measure at 2 spots 50" apart and find a 1" height difference, then extrapolating that to the ~100" wheel base would give you a front to back height difference of 2".
