Lift for 2025 TRD Sport

[Tjacobs]

Hey there all, have a 2025 TRD Sport and wanting to put a lift on it before changing rims and tires. Any recommendations for a good shop out line the lower mainland of Vancouver BC Canada. Thanks in advance

If you have a set of metric tools and a jack and jack stands, these are pretty diy friendly vehicles to work on. Here's a video we did recently showing a 2" lift kit install -

Chad: Really appreciate your objective assessment of the Bilstein's in the other thread (since you are selling the Fox).
Watched your spacer eraser install video. Was wondering about the impact on the OE shocks when you install the longer springs. Should I be concerned about losing downward articulation (and thus ground contact on the trail) because the shocks are extended an extra 1.5"-2" when at street height? I suspect the answer might be different for front and back.

I have a TRD ORP. For what its worth, 285/70R18s (33.7) DO rub on the front with OE suspension plus 1.25" spacer, and on the back, rub on the fender flare at full upward articulation. Caveat: my experience is with +25 offset TRD PRO wheels - will see if +45 offset TRD Flat Black fixes both issues - I expect it will fix the rear. (The non-rub for this tire size is on the TRD PRO with slightly different suspension height and angle and wider fenders)

Your video has me convinced I could install springs and shocks on my own (and save $$/gain experience) so thanks for that.
Decided to post here vs. DM on the chance of helping others.
Thanks for the great video.

My SR5 had about 4.25" droop at full extension in front and about 4" as well in rear from resting height when I measured the factory suspension on our two post lift. With a mild lift like these coils provide, you still have about 2.5" downtravel with factory SR5 shocks. While the resting position of the shocks changes with a coil lift, your overall travel numbers do not change. I am now on Fox and have gained more downtravel than the factory SR5. One other thing to mention is that we build for load carry, when you add weight this will bring the suspension down. The measurements I took were with an empty vehicle and the factory donut spare. I've since swapped the spare for a full size (Kenda RT 33x10.5r17) but still haven't loaded up with my camping / overlanding gear.

I haven't had a 6G4 with the OE Bilsteins in shop yet to take measurements, but I would expect that the OE Bilsteins have more travel than the OE SR5 shocks.

This new platform is really DIY friendly when it comes to suspension. It's a pleasant change from the previous generations.

I am guessing that when you go to a more positive offset your rubbing may be mitigated. I will be curious to hear what the change in wheels does for you.
