Factory Lift Kit for 4th gen Tacoma are discontinued?

[JayTech]

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?

Typically the Off Road shocks with the remote reservoirs are better suited for continuous more strenuous off roading due to better heat dissipation and being valved more towards off roading conditions. The Bilstein shocks in the lift kit will ride firmer and be more planted on road but are still usable off road, they just won’t perform at the same level. For most people this isn’t an issue. For those that are doing serious off roading and want a suspension upgrade more suited to their needs, picking something more like the Kings suspension set up, OME, Icon etc would be a better choice.

Thank you Jay for the explanation. I think I am going to take the plunge with the TRD lift lit since I mainly use my truck for on-road use.

I also am leaning towards it more after all the helpful information here. My main concern right now is the possibility of the shocks in the kit being a downgrade from the stock Offroad shocks.

I would highly doubt they would be a downgrade.

I think even in this thread there is some conflicting information on it. Just would suck to spend that only to have lower grade shocks.

It would be great if we could get the folks who already did the swap for real world opinion.
