Do 31's pretty much fill the guards but don't scrub?
If so, then no it doesn't.
If not,then it's quite possible it does.

Hey mate in answer to your question regarding your hilux lift if it is a solid axle the standard springs will sit pretty much flat ,compared to lifted springs which will have camber in them.
Also there should be some form of brand name or writing on the top of the spring pack where as standard packs dont.
Most common lift is 2 inch . if it has standard shackles and the packs have some camber then i would say its a 2inch lift.
Hope this can help you

cheers

reguarding what lux 31 said, the camber he is talking about is look along your front spring and see if the spring is sitting flat, from front hanger to shackle end. if its flat its stock, if it has curve its lifted, rears always have curve, also i measured mine with stock front springs and it was about 2 to 3 inches betwene bump stops so if it measures similar its stock, if it is 4 inches or more gap it is lifted.

hope that makes it easy enough for ya

Hey mate.The standard hight for a 92 duel cab is 554mm between the centre of the front hub and top of the wheel arch.Should be the same for yours.
