I'll have to check... I do recall seeing a sticker, but I didn't pay attention.
I'll likely be in the barn later this evening and will try to grab some data.
Bear in mind on that measurement... this is an entirely non-standard setup for a 1st gen.

IIRC, it's flat. They extended the frame down with (i think) 1.5" plate... so the bottom bolts on the shackle hangers are below the frame.
I'm not complaining.. it's just different. Maybe it works well. The airbumps on the spring are definitely not good for high speed... but I know the PO didn't do that... and I'm still suspect the shocks will run out of travel before the bumps.
Someday, I'll probably move the shocks to the axle and bumps to the spring pad... if I get bored....

Flat grass and one ditch that runs down the middle of the parking lot.....
I love how tall that pack is and they still have a small spacer

I hate everything
I ran the Hurst/CORE short shifter on my old 95 reg cab Tacoma. I loved it and would have done it over again no question. Pretty sure I got mine off of ebay

Couldn't you just extend the rectangular tube with a bump out and tie the end into the frame?

Definitely not building a new bumper. Nor doing by pass shocks… nor doing whatever else to turn it into a race truck

a simple rectangular tube with a tube step would look WAY better for this mall crawler. plus a spot to hold youre ice cream cone

Are you sure a shop built this truck?The Marlin rear bumper made this thing look like it had a huge body lift….
So grabbed some scrap and tried to make it look a bit better.
So it either looks better or looks like I’m trying to cover up a huge body lift

I have the receipts 🤷
First Marlin bumper I’ve ever seen in person. Some things I like, some I don’t. But unless I can find a CBI laying around cheap, it’s staying.

Same, I didn't realize the fitment was so bad on a 1st gen!

On all the previous year Toyotas, there was sheet metal there. Either they just bought a "Toyota" bumper, or marlin didn't change anything to make it fit better.

Thought about buying a roll pan… decided I didn’t want to do body work

I think cutting the diaper butt off and building a high clearance bumper looks and works so much better.
