    A 2016 sr5 4x2 4cylinder acess cab has a curb weight of 3980lbs. A 2011 prerunner 4x2 6cylinder double cab has a curb weight of 3975lbs.
    Both tacomas have the same curb weight +-5lbs.
    Will the bilstein 5100 set at .85 lift both of these trucks the same amount of distance from center cap to fender?

    hint, shocks don't lift, springs do. But given the same springs, seems pretty logical.


    addition: this is assuming that the mount points of the shocks and pivot points are the same between the 2nd and 3rd gen. I don't have the data for that.

    That’s what I was missing in my thought process..more than likely the pivot points are also different
