I won't be able to get out there to him for another week or so and they may be gone by then. Another guy only about 20mins away is selling same set from a '17 Tacoma TRD that was removed when it had 5700 mi on it for $140. I don't plan on doing any real wheeling, just using it as a winter DD and a handful of beach days in the summer so a small lift would be nice. Is it worth the extra $40 to secure a lower mile set? I'm not even sure what they're worth in the 1st place. Or is there no comparison w/ the 5100's?

The “X-REAS delete...” post linked in my sig will be of interest. I went essentially the same route you’re looking at and it’s been golden. Good for whoever wants to lay out huge $$ on suspension components but I don’t get it, especially b/c the performance is the same as similar full price options. Plus, it’s not like a shirt you can return if you don’t like it so I wanted to minimize the amount I was risking.

14 4runner 19 TRD Tacoma struts
So I have a 14 4runner with xrea. I got a set of struts off a 19 TRD Tacoma how much lift would I get if I switch struts and install stock shocks on rear. Would like to just level it.

Big thanks to
@ T4R4Brando
for telling me about using the Tacoma's suspension, you saved me big bucks I had no idea! Also thank you for selling me the 895e rear springs and front lift spacers.
I ended up using:
-2017 Tacoma TRD Pro 4x4 Front shocks and springs with 1/2" spacers -(giving an additional 1" lift) and rear shocks.
-OME 895e rear springs
I want to say it was close to a 3" lift overall (unfortunately I didn't measure before, i was too excited to get it done)
Definitely need some new tires!

I've done very similar with mine, using 2019 Tacoma Bilstien shocks with springs and rear 2017 Tacoma Bilstien shocks with new FJ springs going in this weekend. I haven't done the spacers but I might, at least on one side as I am seeing about 1/2" difference in ride height from passenger to driver side.
I had the XREAS system on mine and the front was almost completely collapsed. I also gained about 3" of lift in the front.

Seems great so far. Pretty solid! I have to get my lower control arms replaced since they are ceased. While I'm at it I'm going to be replacing the upper control arms as well.
Thanks again
@ T4R4Brando
I love the look and the lack of rake!

@ T4R4Brando
can answer that. I bought them from him. I was only told they'd give me a 1" lift in the front to help level out the rake.

How much lift can I expect from 2016+ TRD suspension on my 2007 V8 4runner?

Going off your sig line, you already have Fox coilovers and rear shocks. Why would you want to change those out for the Taco stuff? Coilovers are adjustable for height, then you just need to figure out rear springs to match.

I do, yes. But I don't need coilovers (they came with the rig) and could use the money from selling them and buying the Taco stuff. Strictly monetary reasons to help me buy a new mountain bike

Don't quote me on this but I would think you'd get about 2". My setup is from a 2017 TRD pro Taco, except I have a V6 and got about 3" lift.

Thats not too bad actually, might be able to live with it. Shoot for as cheap as they can be found, it's worth a shot.
