It should give you around 2 inches. I have them in the back of my gen1 LWB along with a 95SR rear end. I will post a pic tomorrow for you.
They firmed up the rear some. I like it. The gen1 springs were weak. It would squat if you put anything heavy in the back. The gen2s hold loads a lot better. I also have gen2 swayaway torsion bars in it. Im ready for the Dakar now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I dont have any extras.

Pic taken today. 95SR rear springs in a 91 LWB with 95SR axle. No body lift. Those are stock 87 15x6 rims with 31x10.5 MTRs. The truck is not empty, I had a lot of stuff back there. A 2 1/4 floor jack, big jack stands, Toyota IFS steering box, just a bunch of misc. stuff from sitting for a couple months. I really like the little stiffer ride. That other thing is something really cool from AUS. ![[Linked Image]](http://webpages.charter.net/sparkem2001/lift%20and%20gas%20can%20holder.JPG)

I dont know exact WMS to WMS. I think I read it was 3in wider. I did not put spacers on the front. It is not very noticable. Most people would not pick it out, and if they did, they would probably think it was stock. I will get a side shot this evening if I get home before dark.
On topic, gen2 springs are good. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So are rear discs.
