4th Gen suspension question

I saw this TRD Sport at a dealer in my state, but there is no info on what the actual suspension is (dealer had no clue). I guess it could be custom, but I suspect not. I’d like to possibly order an SR5 Xtra cab version that would have this same stance. Any idea or suggestions? Is this just the standard height with larger wheels/poke? Thanks!

 

Could possibly be the Toyota TRD lift kit, looks like it's sitting a little higher. Definitely looks like some Method wheels though.

Be forewarned though IIRC the SR5 has different front axle shafts compared to the OR or Sport and seem to be a weak point in lifted SR5's.

 

Thanks!

 

Doesn't the TRD Lift include new axle shafts?

 

Some quick Google-foo looks like it does? Guess that makes my information irrelevant then

 

To be fair, online information about the Tacoma factory lift is questionable. From current Tacoma build configurator the lift doesn't mention axles but says the control arms are Roush forged steel. All of the Tacoma lifts I've seen had aluminum control arms. Also, it appears you can't spec the factory lift on SR5s or Sports, only ORs.

 

That looks like a stock TRD sport with stock suspension, here's a pic of mine with 1.5 level .75 rear lift, tire/wheels look about the same.

 

That makes it easy! Thanks for the pic and nice truck!

 

One thing to keep in mind on "stance" is function. Neither a Sport or SR5 will have the rear locker axle a TRD OR has. I'm not sure what your goal is but I've had to help or be in the crosshairs of the beauty knows no pain decisions some have made with their vehicles. If you are after function above all spending the difference from SR5 to TRD OR might not be so expensive for the locker and other features.

 

Toss a set of bilsteins on it for a little lift and throw 33s on some wheels at it and it’ll look just like that truck.

 

Dealers only install TRD lifts and spacer lifts (wescott designs, ect).

 

Going to guess 285/70/17 on zero offset with that poke.

Toyota's unveiling of the TRD lift was on an SR5 with rear coils so Double Cab only. I think only the Tundra TRD lift has replacement axles I think all Tundras share the same front axles from the factory as long as it's 4x4 to add some confusion.

I've only seen the silver SR5 from the unveiling and a few Off Roads posted on here with the TRD lift installed, I thought those were factory installed and those OR were still on stock OR wheels and tires.
