wondering about TRD

hello gentlemen, I've got a question...I have a Tacoma TRD...it's a 2007. is there a difference between TRD and TRD off-road ? I ask because the lift (supreme suspensions) I want to purchase says it doesn't fit "TRD off-road"models... but wtf is the difference between TRD and TRD off-road....? thank you ! <3

 

Is this the one:
2005-2016 TOYOTA TACOMA FULL SUSPENSION LIFT KIT & DIFFERENTIAL DROP KIT

 

hi stewbuff that link isn't working...I found the lift on Amazon here it is

 

There is a TRD Sport and a TRD Off Road, and the suspension is basically the same between them. So anything that works on a TRD Sport will also work on an Off Road.

 

The consensus around here is never do a spacer lift. Bilstein 5100s and an AAL in the rear are a much better choice.

 

and what may I ask is that ? sorry! and could you
please refer me to a specific one that would be good for my 07' Tacoma ?

 

omgg these little smilies are hilarious

 

What that guy said.

 

Bilstein 5100s are height adjustable front shocks for your truck. They can be used with stock coils and have 3 lift heights, .85, 1.75 and 2.5. You can also pair them with OME or Eibach coil springs for a better ride and still lift (heights vary depending on which springs you select). AAL or Add a Leaf is just that, an extra leaf you add to the rear leaf pack to increase ride height, they also make 3 leaf AAL which provide a smoother ride. You should talk to @HeadStrong Off-Road and they can help with questions and great pricing.

 

thank you steveI've heard lots of great things about head strong and spoke with the woman not long ago. I will probably head to my mechanic for this lift. I will look into these parts you suggested and hopefully get them installed relatively soon. thanks again

 

No problem, good luck with it all. It gets addicting and one mod leads to another, so you have been warned haha. But I guess that’s part of the fun and it’s nice to have forums like this to share in the mayhem.

 

haha thanks for the warning and I really enjoy Tacoma world, everyone I've spoken to has been so helpful and knowledgable. it's really nice to have a reliable genuine source! this is what I've
got to work with, really looking forward the the upcoming mods <3

 

This thread is cute

 

You’re cute.

 

Never do a spacer lift, never use blocks, never use 5100's.

Unless you just want a lift to put larger tires and 'look' good, you wont be happy. Ive done them all! Proper new front struts with lower coil mounts, longer coils, and either Deaver AAL or Dakar leaf packs.

 

I do want the lift for larger tires and to "look good" so what do you think is the best choice ?

 

haha, ask 100 people, get 100 different answers best is subjective. what are you plans for the truck? mall crawler, fire road warrior, rock crawler, desert racing..... ?

billy 5100 and ome coils have worked just fine for me

 

hey jimbo lmao honestly....a mall crawler flat long dirt roads as well with tall grass...what is your opinion ?
