Sport DCSB upgrade questions

I’m thinking about upgrading my ’21 TRD Sport MGM DCSB. I really like the look of the TRD Pro wheels with 275/17s (or maybe even 285/17s). But I think to really get the look I’m going for, I might need a 2” or so lift. What is the most cost-effective way to do the lift? I know there are probably 100 threads on here with varying info, I’ve been reading and trying to understand the options and different ways of doing it, and sort of getting lost in the lingo.

I don’t want to do anything half-assed, but don’t need to spend a fortune for top-shelf off-road components. Looking for bang for the buck I guess. I also don’t really want to get into cutting away for clearance. This will 95% be daily driver so ride quality is also a factor. I do like the way the sport rides now.

Educate me!

 

Bilstien 5100's or Eibach Pro Truck with a 1" rear block would be a good cost effective lift. Also here is a video that I may be over sharing but it has great info that might help you....

He also has a great video on lift myths.

 

Good videos, he really explains things in a clear way.

So a 1" rear block, if the rear lower control arm ratio is 2:1 would give a 2" lift? And no issues with joints reaching their limit?

What do the 5100's do? I've heard them mentioned a lot. Do they just raise the ride height by a stiffer spring? Are they an extended shock?

Good stuff, I'm hooked!

 

The block would be for the rear. It is a cheaper method to lift the rear and in my opinion more reliable then Add-a-leaf. If you want more than 1" in the rear I would suggest a leaf pack.

The Bilstein or Eibach lifts the front through clips in the strut body that raises the lower spring perch, pushing the lower mount point downwards to achieve the lift.
