The fact that your 2002 Toyota Tacoma has the TRD package means that it will need the spacer kit, # F2366, if it is a 4-wheel drive model. And I am fairly certain that SR5 TRD models are 4-wheel drive. But if yours is not a 4x4 then you would not need the spacer kit, just the air bags # F2304.

You might also want to consider an on-board compressor which will allow you to add/remove air from the comfort of the cab of the truck. You will not have to get out and add air, check pressure, find a compressor, or any other inconvenience.

If this sounds like something you would like then you can use Level Command kit # F2158 which will fill each bag equally. Or use Level Command kit # F2219 which will allow you to do each bag individually which is awesome if you need to level the bed side to side.
