    Does the 2023 TRD Pro Sport have a suspension lift kit installed by the OEM? If so how much higher is it than a stock tacoma?

    All non-Pro 3rd Gens have the same ride height.

    Is there a difference in a stock tacoma ride height over a TRD? Or TRD difference between the TRD Sport and any other TRD version?

    We're not sure what you're calling a "TRD".

    These are the 3rd gen models available:
    • SR
    • SR5
    • Sport
    • Off-road
    • Limited
    • Pro
    • Trail Edition
    To my knowledge.. all 4x4 Tacomas have the same height except for the Pro and Trail Edition.

    Toyota offers an OEM lift kit that's dealer available and can be added to any model.

    What's your real question? My SR is lifted ~2" inches.. all it takes is time and money.

    Nominally the same height with the trims you described.

    The Pro and Trail Edition in some years are ~1" higher.

    Again. All 3rd Gens, except for the Pro have the same ride height. There are different shocks and springs depending on trim, but they all sit at the same ride height.

    I’ve bolted some stuff to it *lists cool stuff here*
    Is this possible??

    This is from the interwebs not my knowledge…

    In 2021, the Tacoma TRD Lift Kit was made available as a dealer-installed option for 2020 and newer Tacoma models. Total frame ground clearance increases by 1.7 inches (43.2 mm) with the suspension lift kit.

    Yes. It was a rebranded, aftermarket set of shocks that dealers could sell as an "official" add-on. Just like the dealer-installed bed covers and cargo extenders, it was another way to upsell you into getting the extra large fries with your order.

    It also removes the TSS-P / radar cruise fun and blanks out the fogs all for the pleasure of paying more.

    I have to be honest. Its been so long since Ive looked at a 3rd gen with stock tires that I can't tell if its lifted or not. :anonymous::anonymous::anonymous: It looks like normal height to me though.


    On the Sport trims, the OEM shocks were blue in color (Hitachi brand). If you have blue shocks and no spacer blocks, then you're running stock.

    My 2021 TRD Sport with Dealership install of the TRD Lift last month. (Bilstein 5100s 2" Lift up front and 1" Block on the Leaf packs)

    The Lift sets height differently for certain models. (See below)

    Here's a comparison photo:
