    What's the difference between SR5 suspension and the TRD sport suspension? Besides the SR5 being black and the sport being red?

    TRD sport comes with a rear sway bar, i think that's it.

    I mean the difference between the coilovers and rear shocks.

    Thanks. I'll be looking for a set of the sport coilovers and rear shocks.

    Maybe not. I just read where it lowers the truck a little bit and reduces the tow rating.

    My truck is a 2wd, so it's a pavement pounder. Better handling basically. There is a lowering kit with red TRD shocks, but the sport package shocks don't lower the truck, since they are for 2wd and 4wd. I definitely don't want to lower or lift it.

    So would the TRD Sport shocks lower a stock SR5?

    No. You’re keeping your springs just the shock is different

    So the height of the truck shouldn’t change, just better quality shocks?
