Factory Lift Kit for 4th gen Tacoma are discontinued?

[PNWkip]

I assume once the kit becomes available to the public to buy you’ll be able to.

If that's the case, I assume that someone around here who was talking shit about this kit might consider picking one up on sale

Probably.

It would be great if they brought it back here in Canada. I'd gladly go with the OEM option if it meant having no possible warranty issues.

Please do and post a picture! I’d love to see how it looks.

Sorry off topic, but As promised: 5100s @ the 2nd circlip setting up front. Was hoping for a bit of rake as it was supposed to be 1.4" (measured 1.75" difference with factory suspension) but leveled it perfectly. Not sure I'll lower it or add rear spacers because it looks BAD ASS

looks great. I’d add the rear spacers. I wish with my TRD Bilstein lift, I could add a 1/4” top plate and rear spacers to bring it up just a tad. I’d leave it…..

I don't get why those settings are so far off. @magicandlouis had a similar issue with the 5100s. .35" discrepancy ain't nothing! But it is perfectly level with a full tank of fuel.
Anyways, I'll chat about this somewhere else and try to keep this thread on topic

Looks great, definitely making my pockets burn looking at it.

Still good convo. Threads always get off the intended topic. No Worries.

The kit comes unassembled (shocks and coils). Unless they assemble them at the plant, the dealer will have to do this. A simple spring compressor can do this, it isn’t very hard. With the compressor failing at the factory, it created a ton of liability on Toyota‘s end. So to not have to pay anyone else a disability pension should anyone else get seriously hurt going foward, I believe they opted to make sure there wont be another injury by improving the tool.

From the unboxing at 0:48 it looks like Toyota opted to put the front shocks together in this Tundra kit. They may have found it easier/cheaper to go the assembled route in the interim. Curious to see if the Tacoma kit follows suite.

My parts guy has let me know that lift kits are available to buy. I saw this on the Facebook 4G group.
With the current 15% Presidents Day sale my dealer quoted me $1,597.00 out the door for the parts only. Can anyone tell me what is exactly in the kit? Would be all the parts shown in this picture?

Toyota doesn’t give a breakdown on the parts list on the sales sheet, just TRD lift. From everything I read pertaining to the kit, its shocks and springs, billet UCA’s, extended axles, etc. I see a couple other smaller parts in the pic near the UCA’s. Not sure what it is. Another thing people don’t know is if the kit comes with a diff drop. That apparently is needed when you lift 3”. I’d like to think Toyota was proactive and included it. However , id say the pic accurately reflects the kit.

 

[Steelman 56]

I am going to see if my parts guy can get a break down. You feel that the CV axles are included in the kit then?

 

[JuanitoBonito]

According to everything I have seen, yes.
