Toyota material
"The front Fox shocks are paired with TRD-tuned coil springs, and the combination provides an additional 1 inch of front lift for improved trail-tackling capability. "

Zach Butler with TFLTruck
"Mechanically, the TRD Pro gets a 1-inch lift and wheel travel over standard models."

The Car Guide
"The TRD Pro now receives 2.5-inch Fox shocks which, along with the TRD-tuned springs, brings a one-inch ground clearance increase as well as one more inch of wheel travel."

Top Speed
"The updated front shocks also afford an extra inch of wheel travel."

It isn't hard to find published material that confirms it, so did Toyota and others falsely make these claims? I've not measured them myself, so I don't know it to be true personally, but it's hard to imagine it would be so widely published as such if it wasn't true. And since it's been so widely published including by Toyota themselves, many people are under the impression that it's the case. Unfortunately it's hard to know where to go from here without a definitive answer.
The 19/20 Toyota TRD Pro’s are essentially TRD Off Road’s with added wheels, badges and suspension at the port. Don’t believe, open the driver door of any trd pro and read the spec label. It will incorrectly show the trd off roads' wheel dimensions instead of the TRD pro wheel dimensions

So yes, the Elbach lift will give you an added 2.6 inches of total lift from what the Toyota 4Runner was originally designed to handle.

Personally, I think an additional 1 inch of lift would have been perfect. 1.6 inches is a weird number that will definitely give negative rake on the TRD pros. Its going to force most people to buy rear coils to preserve a leveling look.

I imagine that was the point though, cross selling.
