I’d like to slightly lift my 22 trd pro keeping my oem fox suspension
Westcotts or eibach seem to be options
Running 265 75 16 on 16x8 0 offset.
Anyone have any experience with lifting a pro or pics?

The Pro doesn't change anything. Your options to keep the stock shocks are spacers in the front and add-a-leafs in the rear. I know TRD Pro guys try to sell off their OEM suspension, but I don't know how much they get for it.

I feel like if you want to mod your Tacoma suspension, the TRD OR is the way to go. You get all the tech of the Pro, but don't have to throw away good shocks. Pros are great for a turn key truck with no mods necessary.

I don't think a lot of people understand why a lot of guys prefer a TRD Off Road over a Pro, would you like to explain why that is? I have a hard time explaining and it would be easier (for me at least) to see what other people say as well to explain it better
 
You pay less, and don't have to throw away nice suspension when you upgrade.

I see it a lot in Jeeps. Guys will pay extra for a rubicon, then throw away everything that makes it a rubicon when they upgrade.

Rubicons and TRD Pros are great turnkey rigs. You buy it and you use it. It's actually cost effective if you do that.

I did Wescott with my trdpro. Reasonably happy. Lost a little of the "floating" feel, and consequently a little bit of off road comfort, but it still worked well...in the front.

In the back I have about 300 lbs constant load with a decked system, leitner's bed rack, and a tent.

Adding a Yeti SBR140 makes it a little lighter (just kidding).

I had to add some spring support, so I put Icon's full RXT pack (stage 3), and it is now ideal. Total cost in parts was 1300 (Wescott front $600, rear icon springs ~$700). And of course the premium over the TRDOR was $5000. Could have had a really nice suspension for that, but I also enjoyed my stock TRDPRO for two years before suspension and tire upgrades and had a blast.

I had the Wescott on my pro suspension for a while. it was OK, but didn't ride as well as struts designed for that amount of lift. I switched to this kit at the time and was very happy with it. It's only about 1.25-1.5" of lift on a 16+ though.

I started with the 5100's, 887 and Icon 1.5" AAL. Seems like all the 5100/88X setups end up sagging drastically over time.
I think the best value will be going this route. I think this setup gives 2.5-2.75". ReadyLift makes a custom spacer/tophat that goes 3" in the front and 2" blocks in the read. You could always buy that kit and just upgrade the rear later.

Bilstein 6112 - 47-234413
Bilstein 5160 - 25-242379/25-242539
1.5" AAL - I left my overload spring in. Get something nicer if you have find yourself with weight in the.
