    i see Toyota of Dallas offering the setup for 2k. How does it ride compared to the bilsteins under an OR? I remember reading it's about an inch or more of ground clearance. Is that true?

    Like, so many.
    I thought the ground clearance was the same on all TRDs.

    TRD Pro has a 1" lift over all other Tacoma models being sold. I'm happy with my lower cost 2-3" OME lift. Not worth 2k for a 1".

    I think it's raised 1" only on the front.

    It may be only in the front, I dont really know. All I know is that Toyota advertises it as a 1" taller than the other models.

    You are correct sir. It's advertised as a 1" lift up front only. I bought the Pro because I wanted better suspension, additional cosmetics, uniqueness, etc... straight from Toyota. If I had a non-Pro, I would look into Toytec (Bilstien), King, or Icons over the TRD Fox suspension. You'll get more lift and equal, if not better, suspension. Not knocking the Pro at all, but if I had gone the OR route (and for the best bang for the buck), I would buy aftermarket over TRD Fox suspension.

    Thought we already cleared this up that there is no difference between the pro and the other TRD models as far as lift.

    Nothing has been cleared up. Toyota says 1" of front lift... some members of a forum say otherwise. If we are all to believe Toyota is falsely advertising, a lawsuit should be filed.

    Can you measure from center of your wheel/hub to bottom of fender flare and provide the number?

    That would be interesting, I haven't seen one side by side but I did see Toyota advertising 1" height advantage on the PRO.

    Lol... with you're apparent fondness of 3rd gen Tacoma's and your super positive posts, I'm sure you can get another TRD Pro owner to do your dirty work.

    True but Toyota ALSO released "official" literature (spec sheets) that said 2017 automatics would come with 4.10s. I'm sure anyone who's been here for more than a year remembers that fun thread! So I'm just saying it would be nice to have some real world verification for shits and giggles.

    I guess that makes my Baja better than a Pro because it is 1.75" front only

    The 4-banger autos come with 4.30's. I'm not sure what thread this was so I don't know the details about it. The current literature appears to be accurate.

    http://www.toyota.com/tacoma/ebrochure

    Again, this is from Toyota but the 3rd gen Tacomas are slightly higher in front than the 2nd Gen. I've heard around an inch. So your Baja would be slightly higher than a non-pro but slightly lower than a TRD Pro. This is from what I recall.
