    Lots, straight from the factory.
    It adds up just fine. People don’t have tape measures or check shit. So “we will add four inches to you”, sounds great. When you hop in, it feels taller. Must be four inches. They measure lifts like guys measure their dicks, and the fish they catch.

    So the guy that watches YouTube and is sold on their video, gets a Shiite spacer lift on his Taco and feels like he grew 4”. More power to him. He’s stimulating the economy.

    88 rotors is junk. They ruin so many trucks w spacer lifts and junk tires. Mall crawlers in full effect.

    Buying new from a dealership, sr5, sport and off-roads all have a ton of different options bringing the price higher or lower than what it should cost. When getting a Pro, you have all the options from the get-go so you're negotiating from an even playing field. I found offroad models at various dealerships without dual climate control, without leather, BSM etc. compared to with-options - it was either the same price only a few hundred dollars in difference.

    I can remove my Pro suspension, skid plate, wheels and sell them for arguably better aftermarket parts, and still have a Pro.

    But there's a ton of reasons to remove the Pro parts and modify it to make it fit you and what you want to do.

    If you could afford it it'll make you happier, you do you. Let the non-pro shamers, point their fingers and shameeeee. haha

    I think you missed my point. You can get an Off Road with all those options like leather, dual climate control, moonroof, JBL, etc. And it is thousands less than a PRO. The only other option the PRO gives ya over a loaded OFF ROAD is the suspension. SO, if you plan to change out all the suspension anyway, buying a PRO is not a smart decision. You can swap out the suspension on an Off Road and end up with the same truck for thousands less. That's just fact...

    Are you really buying a PRO for the TRD skid plate or the LED fogs? I had a TRD OffRoad with the TRD exhaust. The MAIN component is the suspension. You're not gonna talk me out of it...lol.

    Why does it seem all Pro owners end their posts with some kind of jab at non-pro owners?

    Thought it was obviously a jab at everyone shaming each other for no reason. Guess not obvious enough.

    You very clearly stated the only difference between the off road and PRO was the suspension. I can go back and highlight it for you if you wish.

    No. Here is my original comment on this post... "Never understood why anyone would buy a Pro if they are even thinking about lifting it?!? The biggest difference(and most expensive) in the Pro IS the suspension. Makes zero sense to lift it. Buy an Off Road if that's the end goal...."
    And I think you know the point of my argument. If ya wanna continue to be facetious, feel free...

    Dude. For the last time, you can order an OFF ROAD and load it up with about every thing you can get with the PRO...exhaust, leather, etc. Except, you do not have the option to get it with PRO suspension components. And again, a loaded OFF ROAD is THOUSANDS less than a PRO. So if you're gonna change the suspension out anyway, you would be money ahead to just get the OFF ROAD. I have literally read hundreds of comments on Tacomaworld in various posts saying the same thing.
