    Sorry if this has been asked, I did a search and didn't see it though. Also, please ignore my ignorance on the subject of lifting, I’ve never modified a truck before.

    I’ve done some research and on previous gens a recommended set up for a small lift was Bilstein 5100 in the front and a block or aal in the rear. The 4g Sport does not have leaf springs and the Bilstein site doesn’t list a height adjustment shock for the rear. So, I’m not sure if I should assume its not a product released yet or there is a mechanical reason why that wouldn’t work. I appreciate everyone’s patience with my lack of knowledge. I was thinking I’d like a slight lift to my MT Sport but keep the rake. I appreciate your input.

    My 4th gen is fully stock, there are few upgrades as of yet, give it a month or two I have contacted, N-Fab and Diamondback, and both are working on the redesign. Bilstein is surely having to redesign with the new rear suspension. I had 5100 on my Gen 3 and look forward to upgrading again as well.

    The solution for rear coil lift is usually a small spacer to start.

    The problem is, unlike leaf springs there's more detriment to geometry to coil/multilink as you lift it. So 1" will likely be the soft limit.

    When you lift multilink it makes the wheel base shorter, it brings the axle forward and because of the panhard bar, it shifts the axle.

    We'll see how it goes, but solutions are definitely coming.

    Tundra has spacers, coils and air bags in plenty supply now.

    There will be options soon. The new tundra, previous gen 4Runners and 4g taco all share a nearly identical 5 link suspension system.

    Bilstein gave an update on where they stand for those interested.

    "The 2024+ models of the Toyota Tacoma have undergone a suspension change with their latest generation. Bilstein will be starting projects to build 5100’s and other series for these vehicles but this project and production will likely see us through the end of this year at least. Please use the link below to check back periodically to see if products have become available for this chasses. Thank you."

    Theres lots of lifts already available for the 24's
    search:
    westcott design
    peak suspension
    readylift

    westcott has a ton of utube videos
    peak may also, not certain

    many options.
    you could just lift / level the front & leave the rear.
    front lift theres, 1.5" 2.0" 2 1/4" 2 1/2"
    rear:3/4" 1/0"
    from various manf i mentioned

    From my understanding, from me reaching out to peak & westcott, the rake is built into the truck & their actual front & rear lift packages will not totally level your truck, it will still have a rake.
    My issue is, I dont want a rake & we all know we can stuff big tires under it without a crazy lift.
    So how high to take in the front is the issue....?

    Adjustable panhard bar would be nice because I see when lifting the rear you may see the wheels kick out to one side.

    @slater you mentioned that there are front lifts ranging from "1.5" 2.0" 2 1/4" 2 1/2""

    I've looked at all the options from westcott design, peak suspension, readylift, to even Toytec, and Rough Country.

    Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not seeing a 2.0 front lift, do you know which lift kit provides a 2.0 front lift because I am looking for one if so.

    Thanks,

    I dont recall if it was an readylift or lift master, they had 2 differnt lift heights, maybe im mistaken on the height. If youre looking for 2" might as well go with peak & get the 2 1/4"
    my guess is there still may be some very slight rake, maybe...
