Not available yet and hasn’t ever been made available. Tundra kits went on stop sales before we even got the Tacoma kits released for the special tool.Anybody know if this is available in Canada again?

I’d like to know if I could slightly add to the TRD lift. Wesott makes a 1/4 top plate that they say would fit on this lift (but it didn’t sound too reassuring). The point of this would only be to raise the front 1/4-1/2” to level it out.Those brackets in the picture by the upper control arms look like the mounting brackets for the lower control arm. Probably slightly reshaped to account for any change in angle. Diff drop is not usually included because Toyota replaces the axles with axles designed for the extra angle and articulation.
Are you talking about their new billet top hats? If so, I think they should technically work. If just daily driving, it shouldn't pose any issue at all. Off roading I can't say for certain as I do not know how near the limit the lift kit is on pushing the axle angles. I wouldn't imagine a 1/4" difference would really affect it much. The larger top hats they make I would recommend not trying combined with the lift kit.I’d like to know if I could slightly add to the TRD lift.

I asked and all but one said the leaf springs on Gen 3 will not fit Gen 4. It’s kinda f@ckery that they would make the leaf springs different.Leaf springs are easy to lift. Dealers choice how you want to do it.
Could see if the 3rd gen and 4th gen springs match. If not they can easily be sourced from a good spring manufacturer. If they do, lift springs would also interchange. Then there's drop shackles, which are easily made yourself. With some basic measurements of the perches a set of blocks could be easily sourced or machined at a local shop. Axle flips if they have under axle mouting.
You're really only limited by the amount of effort you're willing to put forth. We've been lifting leaf sprung trucks on the cheap for decades. I've got an old Ramcharger thats lifted by seapping 1/2 ton springs for 1 tons (temporary). You just don't have the luxury of buying a kit.
If it were me, I'd start by cross referencing the part number of your current factory rear springs to the various options of the 3rd gen. If they don't match, you'll have to decide how you want to lift it. If you want springs, you'll have to do a bit of research to find dimensions and spring rates of oem springs and call around to places like deaver to find options. Then you'll need to find shocks to match with an increased stroke of the lift amount you chose.
Leafs just like coils have different spring lengths, weights etc designed around the vehicle. Because the frame between the 3rd and 4th gen is different it means they likely won’t line up or the angle from the shackles to the rear axle won’t allow correct fitment.I asked and all but one said the leaf springs on Gen 3 will not fit Gen 4.

Looking at the site real quick, the billet top hat would do what I’m looking for. I know I saw a 1/4 plate that isn’t necessarily a “top hat” . I used them on my old 2nd gen from toytec. It was just a 1/4plate spacer that goes on top of the coilover and the current hardware could still be used, unless you used a thicker one. I saw one on the site and called them. TBH why said I could do it but I could tell in his voice he dint sound too sure. At least I know the billet top hat should work.Are you talking about their new billet top hats?
