TRD PRO Coils

So i'm up in there air about a new suspension and i have narrowed it down to a few items. but first thing i am trying to clear up would be, has anyone tried or know if you could use the TRD PRO Coils on the Bilstein 6112? And do we know the length of the 6112 Coils compared to the TRD PRO Coils? i am sure there will be a lot questions as to why and why not just get Icons, Fox or Kings but i need to verify a few things before i make a decision and figured someone might have an answer. If anyone has any info i would appreciate it, thanks.

 

I don't see why they wouldn't work. Why do you want to use the Pro coils on the 6112s? Why not get the Pro shocks as well? The Pro coils have a 600b spring rate and 1.75" lift. I'm not sure about the rate or height on the springs that are sold with the 6112s.

 

Just seeing how much difference there is between the 6112 Coils and the Pro Coils. Also wanted to get 2.5" lift and dont know how much it would affect the ride quality of the Pro's with a little spacer in there. If those Pro coils were a little longer then the 6112 then putting those on there mgiht be a great combination, just a thought. Those Pro shocks are on the upper end but i heard they ride lovely. Just doing a bunch of research to make sure i do my next lilft exactly how i want if im spending the money.

 

Headstrong offroad, who is a vendor on this site, sells the 6112s paired with the coils. You may try contacting them to find better specs.

I've got the Baja setup which is very similar to the Pro, but a little more aggressive. The ride is awesome.

 

appreciate the info! you drove the PRO? if so, you like the Baja over the PRO?

 

I did not. I messaged other members on here that had driven both to gather data on the driving differences.

High level differences:
-Pro road 'softer', it had more roll in the corners and nose dive when braking. Baja road more firm and sporty. This means the Pro would ride more comfortably off road than the Baja at slow speeds over rough terrain, whereas the Baja excels at speed on the street and off road. Since my truck is 95% street, and I do a few multi-day off road trips a year, the Baja setup was more appealing.

Other differences:
-Baja runs 650lb coils, Pro runs 600lb coils. Shocks are likely valve differently to match.
-Pro presumably has better anti corrosion platting on the shock bodies. The Baja should be sprayed with fluid film to prevent surface corrosion keep them looking like new.
-Pro has a sheath over the remote reservoir shock line. The Baja is just braided stainless steel.

You can ask @Konvict KROG who has driven both for a first person comparison.

 

Damn well i got some time on deployment to think about it. Good read thanks for the info.

 

springs that come with the 6112 is 610 lb
