    Yes , been all over the forum. 2022 TRD Sport that sits lower in the front due to what I am hearing single stage springs. I want to do a lift $1500 ish or less. Westcott pre load is not really the way I want to go from reviews I have seen but they make one specific for the sport. If I go with strut with springs from another company already assembled will that work or do they need to be specific for the sport model? SORRY, but can’t get a straight answer and YES I have read the forums. Thanks in advance.
    Plan on keeping the TRD 20” rims and looking at 35/12.5-20 or 295/65-20 tires.

    Are you just wanting to level it out? I wanted to improve the look on mine and not spend a lot of $$ on a lift but didn't really want to do spacers either. I did the Rough Country N3 2" loaded leveling struts on my '24 and left the rear suspension alone. (Truck had the TRD OR suspension stock.) Truck looks better now even without beefing up the tires. The loaded struts with install and alignment ran me about $870. I plan on doing maybe 285/60/r20 down the road a bit.

    I think you might be having a hard time finding experience on the TRD Sport lift because most people that buy the Sport aren't looking to lift hence why they bought the sport. But that being said I would shoot Dobinson's a call or email and ask about the compatibility with their IMS front strut and spring package to have them fully assembled its about $1300.00 ish. If you get it in writing that it is compatible you can always contest the charge with your credit card company if it doesn't work. Keep in mind a 2" lift is going to be about 2.5"+ lift on your Sport. If Dobinson's says it will work it will work though.

    I agree. The problem is I work at a dealer and it came in on a trade. Always like the army green tundras and my Tacoma was getting small. Long story short with the equity I had in the Tacoma and the price I got this 2022 with 10,000 miles was a hard pass. (Real hard pass!)
    Like I posted Westcott has one for the sport and I might have to go that route. Going to call Dobinsom/ eibach and a few others tomorrow. Thanks for the responce.

    Thank you. I do appreciate all the comments and help. I will check into this more. Sad thing is I threw an eibach pro lift on my taco and it was 10X less confusing
    Sooooo, if I go with this will I need anything more? From what I understand the sport sits lower from springs- so this will correct all that? Again, I apologize and waiting for the NEGATIVE comments but I have searched Google and posts here. Rather do it one time and done. Ty again

    @Coronerrpm You can Literally find them at the link I put in the post you keep quoting. As in click on the link and go select what you want. Here is what happens after you click the link and select what you want and then drop it in the cart ($1270 before shipping). Or there are several other online retailers that will sell you assembled struts.

    If you're just wanting something to raise the front and want to save a few bucks and keep it simple, why not just pick up a set of lightly used struts from a trd off road ? Throw a cornfed spacer in with it and there you go. Thats what I did. Didnt cost much at all and rides much better. . Just a thought!

    Thats actually a great idea. I've seen TRD off-road (not TRD PRO) struts on Facebook market place as low as $100.00 for a front set.

    I'm reading through these comments and also have a new 2024 TRD Sport 4x4 and would like to level the front to the rear on a budget. I like this idea but don't really know what I'm looking for since I've never done one. Can you share a link/pic/part number for what the TRD off road strut would be and the cornfed spacer?

    Finally got it done. Westcott made for the sport model. Perfectly level and the ride is still the same.

    I honestly don't have a part number but any from a 3rd gen trd o.r. should be the same.

    Okay thanks. I found a couple sets online just wanted to be sure before pulling the trigger. Do you remember if the driver and passenger sides were different lengths? I just checked out my sport struts and I just see the same part number for both sides so I figure they’re the same length.

    Yes, someone correct me if I'm wrong but they should be identical.

    I’m in the same boat coming from 4Runners and a Tacoma. I’ve settled on the Westcott lift but now I’m hung up on changing the CV axles. Did you change yours?

    I put off-road suspension on my sport, the ride is a lot better in my opinion but I live in a city with garbage roads all year round. The bonus is that I got an inch of lift in the front out of them as well. For how cheap you can pick the off-roads up for it’s a really great option for someone not wanting a lot of lift. Before and after, I also picked up some off-road fender flares since I felt there was a little too much red.
