    Saw this at the Toyota showroom, how much is it lifted?

    What do you all recommend for a lift, still smooth and normal driving?

    If @TwinTaco31719 is right that is the TRD Pro lift kit (makes sense, don't see Toyota adding anything after market...)

    Was thinking the back didn't look far from my stock rear, so I choose to believe this.

    Edit: I just picked up an OME BP51 kit that claims between 0"-3" of lift and will likely settle for 2.5" since that is an arbitrary choice to fit larger wheels/tires and score cool points :cool:

    I’m guessing it’s a 2” lift. Looks like it sits at about the same height as mine.

    Around 2" in the front. I'm looking for a lift but places are out of stock on some stuff so I'm waiting. I would not go more than 2" myself because of driveline angles and extra wear. Plus if you go up 3" you will need special A arms to get a good alignment.

    Zooming in on the rear, you can see the red shock boot. That would be the Trd lift

    Nothing. Keep it stock unless you have a REAL functional need to lift.

    Looks like the package South East toyota sells. its just TRD pro wheels, AT tires, black out emblems, black exhaust tip and step bars. seems you can add it to the SR, SR5 and TRD trims except Pro. Looks like no suspension changes from the trim level its added to where it sold.

    You really shouldn't even mess with it. They work real good right out of the box.
