Tacoma owners now have the option to ride just a little higher, thanks to a new suspension lift kit available from Toyota Racing Development (TRD). The Toyota Tacoma TRD Lift Kit enhances the truck’s off-road chops with new Bilstein shocks and cast-iron spacers. TRD engineers specially designed and tested the new suspension lift kit, which is available for 2020 and newer Tacoma trucks.

New Bilstein Shocks

The TRD kit includes new monotube digressive value Bilstein shocks fitted with TRD red dust boots and “Tuned by TRD” graphics. Here is a quick look at the front and rear setup.

Front

The adjusted coil spring position on the shock tube allows the Bilstein units to provide an extra two inches of lift. The front shocks also have an extended rebound stroke to allow for more suspension travel.
Rear

At the rear, the Bilstein units offer a larger shock body than the standard Tacoma shock (two inches versus 1.5 inches). This larger shock body accommodates a piston rod four millimeters larger than a stock Tacoma, plus additional oil volume to help dissipate heat and improve damping response. The cast-iron spacers, included in the TRD kit, lift the Tacoma one inch in the rear.
