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.

Well at least you have options. As for the owners of Gen 4 tacoma SR we get no options. One dealer said only businesses are buying the SR and not interested in making leaf springs for lift. Sadly I bought the Tacoma because I knew I could buy aftermarket products and sadly am limited because I own an SR. Oh well, don’t take my money
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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. He did say I could do it but I could tell in his voice he didn’t sound too sure. At least I know the billet top hat should work.

Call these people, give them some measurements if they don’t already have them. They’ll make you custom springs. You don’t need to have an off the shelf option for leafs.

So understanding that the UCAs included in the kit are essentially the TRD PROs recolored, would it be reasonable to assume that this kit more or less puts you equal to a TRD Pro suspension in height and all, minus the adjustable Fox shocks?

TRD Pros don’t even really net you much height difference from the suspension. Maybe slightly more height in the front as it looks like there is less rake(they are probably close to a level kit height wise maybe?). Main height difference is off the tires being an inch larger. My truck with 275/70R18s parked beside a Pro we have on our lot seems to have equal roofline height, but mine just has more rake.
The lift kit says it lifts the truck 3” front 2” rear for a total of 2.6” of lift so it would sit higher than a Pro
Oh really? That was my misconception I guess as I was never in a situation to see one in person side by side. Good to know! I am kind of torn though as I want to do the lift kit, but also want to put on the Fox suspension from the Pro as well lol.
Unless you can find a takeoff suspension kit for a really good price, I would just recommend the lift kit. The Pro suspension is insanely expensive otherwise. Lift kit also gives it the perfect look when paired with 285/70R17s or 285/75R17s
The ride height specs straight from Toyota:
TRD Pro: 1926mm (75.8in) TRD Off Road: 1895mm (74.6in)
Thats one full inch of increased height. 0.5" would come from tires alone (32in vs 33in)
Through my research, yes as far as the UCA’s. They did not paint them to save a little money. The UCA’s are also made by Rousch Performance. Here is a nice video comparing it to the TRD Pro. Im sure the Bilstiens differ a little to the Fox’s other then adjustability like maybe spring rate but I also believe they are somewhat comparable.

Can someone please educate me on the difference between the Red Piggyback Bilstein's that come on the Offroad Tacoma's vs the silver TRD shocks that come in the TRD lift kit now being offered?
