2.25" Spacer/Preload Lift Kit (Front & Rear) - Before & After

What was Toyota thinking with putting an 18 gallon tank in the 4th gen Tacoma?? My wife's EV has more range than the Tacoma does on a full tank as I can't get more than 280 miles on a tank. I do mostly city driving with some highway but still even the 4Runner I had before would go nearly 340 miles on a tank. I wish I had known this about the Tacoma before I leased it. I may be reconsidering the option to purchase this once the lease is up and may go to a used 3rd gen Tacoma or a Colorado new or used.

I know everyone always wants to see examples of what a lift kit looks like compared to stock, so here's a dedicated thread.

This is a Peak 2.25" Trail Kit. You reuse the front struts. There is both a preload spacer (goes under coil on stock spring perch) and a top hat spacer. The rear spring just gets the spacer alone. Rear shocks stay as is. Rides pretty good! Very similar to stock as far as I can tell.

Obviously the tire size is different, but they are only .5" or so tall than factory. Much wider, but just imagine the proportions on stock OR wheels and tires.
