I have a SR5 Hilux 2006.
Question, should the height between the top of the tyre to the bottom of the guard on both the front and back of the vehicle be the same?
I had a steel bull bar put on 6 years ago, my mechanic wants to put new shocks and bigger springs at the front to lift it. So the back and front will be at the same height.
Sorry if this is a silly question.
Thanks

NO
prime example is thd TD 100series
from the factory thd front is lower than the rear.
even on my landcruiser, I was going to get it sitting level.
a quick call to ULTIMATE
suspension is
sydney...which was a decent quality conversation. .not pushing products but telling me the car wont steer safe sitting level.
and every car made HAS to sit front down to steer
well on road.
Easily spent 20mins on the phone. .
give them a buzz than getting info off a
forum...
yes I have bought off them..
and will do again in future
they even do custom made stuff

That's right for a vehicle to handle correctly the front needs to be a bit lower than the rear .
It would be best to go to a Spring Works and get them to have a look , hey will be able to set it up right .
