Is the rear higher than the front now?  Currently my Double Cab is level
(measuring from the center wheel nut to the top of the fender) with on
extra inserted at the rear.

What is the minimum ground clearance you currently have?  Mine is currently
11.0" at the engine skid plate.  Installing the 1.6L made the rear come up
about 0.5" to 0.75" - a tad harder than insearting a donut! :P
