When I was getting the paperwork ready for the 80 series I gave transport a call, the number for the correct department is on the bottom of the modification application form, they can give you the measuremnt from the centre of the axle to the bottom lip of the gaurd, they'll probably have the bumpstop spacing on the computer too, at least this way you'll be working off the same figures they use come inspection time.

hey mark how are you ?

i rang them but they said they dont have the measurements for a hilux so i got to supply them on the application.

i could always just make it up so i can get 4-6inch lift

Toyota chassis and body repair manual for your vehicle will have the info you are after.

I got one for the 4 Runner for $80 on the net.
