Ways to get 1" lift?

I have a 2019 trdpro tacoma that I want to lift about 1 inch. Ive read that spacers ruin the ride and I would like to know if anyone has any experience with this. What is the best way to get a 1 inch lift without effecting the fox suspension.

 

Bigger tires

 

Install a 0.5" spacer front and rear. This will have zero effect on the ride quality and achieve the 1" lift you want.

 

I normally say NO to spacers. But in this situation a small spacer is probably ok. Eibach is working on a new front spring set that fit the stock Fox shocks/struts. I'd go with that once it is released.

 

Not a fan of spacers as you risk damaging your shock in full compression situation (you're effectively making your bump stops ineffective which means your shock will then be the bump stop... bottoming out could actually destroy the shock). As stated above, Eibach is working on a new front spring however, there's some interesting conversation going on in that thread in regards to changing the normal riding position of the stock Fox bypass shocks. If you get the shock to start riding at a further point in the downwards travel, you start to mess up the valving characteristics of a bypass shock. With that said, this Pro owner here is going with bigger tires (285/75R16) and forgetting about lifting the front end with the stock Fox suspension.

 

All good valid inputs...but if you do decide to get spacers/ shims then you should definitely get new bump stops.

Yes! Definitely! But remember, doing this reduces your overall travel so you're giving up something by lifting the stock Pro Bypass suspension.

 

A spacer to level the front will not ruin the ride.

 

Depends on the spacer. Get one that pre-loads the spring so it rides further into your downwards travel, it can definitely mess up your ride especially with an internal bypass shock. Spacer between the top plate and the shock mount will most likely not ruin your ride but then you got the issues of ruining your shocks w/out an extended bump stop, and then all the stuff talked about above...

Honestly, OP, if you're not doing much or any wheeling, a spacer is fine. Just make sure you install an extended bump stop to prevent your shock from getting ruined during full compression.

 

That's interesting information. I'll be eagerly awaiting those springs

 

There is a whole thread on it here, eibach themselves started the thread.

 

Thanks! I'll look for it

 

Here it is.

Thanks!

 

Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

 

Damn it, Dave. Let me be helpful.

 

Too slow. And I don't even own a Pro, whaa??
