Trd pro 2 inch lift

subbed

 

Measurements were after about a 5 mile drive on a back road.... Not cycled to the full travel limits of the suspension by any means, but enough bumps, potholes, etc. that the suspension would have settled.

Just had it aligned this morning, will drive it for a couple of days and re-measure to see if it changes.

Seemed high to me as soon as I set it down from the lift..... Can't imagine the bro lean it would have, w/o the AAL in the rear.... Depending on how much the AAL settles, may add the overload back in.... Took the before/after in the same spot using a drywall T square, and a level off the face of the wheel......

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback. What type of UCA are you thinking? And thanks for suggesting the JBA UCA. I'm looking into it. Thanks

 

I really dig the jba's. That ball joint is a heavy duty moog ball joint that is readily available at any parts store. Plus the bushings are oem. Those exposed ball joints on some models aren't really meant to be exposed to salt and crap from harsh winters that I'm exposed to and if they are or even with just heavy use...they'll have to be replaced in time. The jba's look to be tough and heavy duty.

 

Sounds good. Did you need UCAs with your set up? I imagine the stock TRD Pro suspension will align and drive fine? What do you think? necessary to get the UCAs?

 

Some people have tried and given up on the JBA UCAs due to less than stellar alignment numbers. I went to Camburg balljoint UCAs for this reason.

 

okay. Got them JBAs. It's gonna be pretty red. LOL. I'll post again once all installed. Toyota will install to avoid warranty issues with parts and labor.

 

I don't need them with my baja/pro suspension now....but if I lift it 1 more inch with the specific spring seat spacer to get me to 3", I'll then get the jba's

 

Good to know. Thanks!

 

One of the benefits of going with an OEM setup is the UCAs are not needed. Toyota engineers have stated you would get additional droop if you paired aftermarket UCAs with the Baja/Pro setups as the OEM ball joint is the limiting factor.

 

Sounds good. After reading all 30 pages on JBA UCAs, I got a little worried. I drive 30k miles a year and it winds up being mostly on the road. But I'd say 20% of those is off road for work. So if there's a problem to be had mechanically in a year or two or three for the normal driver, I would have in 3 months. That's why I am staying OEM. So I cancelled the JBA order and will stay OEM. But I think the owner stated that he is sending the UCAs anyway after he refunded the money. That was nice. What's the latest feedback on them JBAs? I could run them I suppose but really don't want to risk it. Not sure.

 

Hey ZIMMMTACO, any updates on the height? you still at 2.75-inches?

 

......so are you getting a set of jba's for free????

 

subbed for pictures hopefully

 

I am pretty sure that based on his email, he is sending them.

 

Sub

 

Huh.......what are you gonna do with them??

 

If they do come and you want em, let me know.

 

Do you have anything your looking for?

 

Honestly, I would just pass them on to you if you want em. Let us know how they run.
