Need Help From Near Stock TRX owners

[ScarlettHogg]

I’m looking for a measurement of ride height in the rear of a stock TRX (no suspension mods) on a truck with any tire on it, and no load on the rear.

I need a measurement to frame from ground if possible. I’m trying to see what the factory ride height is of the rear. Some of you know I have Eibach rear hd springs with 1in rear spacers and I still am not level with my heavy rear end. I’m considering adding more rear spacer but want to make sure I’m not too far out of spec on what’s possible.

Thanks in advance for the help. I’m also open to other solutions.

What lift do you have up front? If you’re running 2.7, you can drop down to 1.6.

Other solution for the rear would be air bags. I believe timber dropped a revised version.

Will not be dropping the front or adding bags thank you though

Have you thought about stacking the spacer plates?
Maybe two 3/4s stacked.

This is exactly what I want to do, but I don’t want to go too far in actual lift. That’s why I’m looking for a stock ride height measurement

With all that on the back i would look at different springs a little more rate in the rear couldn't hurt..
Good luck

I am on the heaviest spring available outside of custom springs. Which I am looking into.

They feel about the same as the he springs with 8000000000 pounds on them. Yes keeping spacers, for now, have not found a reason to remove
