    Sell the truck since the only real reason to buy the pro was for the suspension.

    Depends on how you would lift it. If you were to keep the truck and lift it, detail us your plan.

    Sell it.

    Whatever it is making you think about doing that now won't be better after dropping a few more grand in a suspension.

    What he means is that the only reason for buying the TRD pro over the other trim levels is the fact that it comes with Fox suspension in stock form. The only way it would make sense to lift it is to replace this with something as good or better, which is why everyone is asking about your plan for the lift. So are you planning on running dual shocks? L/T? External adjustable bypass shocks? If you're a little lost after this post then just leave the suspension alone since youve already got about 5K in suspension parts on the stock TRD pro.

    Please send me your PRO suspension after you remove it and install the lift kit. I’ll put it to good use.

    Edit: I’d pay for shipping.

    Think roof light bar + angled bed thingys require a 6" drop bracket lift.

    Well i'm leaning towards the 6 inch with the dual shocks. I know i know what's the point when you already paid......." Pointing being i want to get at least 33s. But still debating if the 33s will fit the 3" if not i'll just run with the 6" and get 35s.

    Enough trimming you can fit 35s today. A lift doesnt really help fit bigger tires unless you dont plan on ever compressing the suspension. Aka mall crawler build

    Not much that'd you like. The ride will be terrible in terms of quality.

    Yes
    You guys are all a bunch of big brave internet bully assholes...and psst most of you don't have much to brag about with your own trucks so chill the fuck out. The guy asked a legitimate question and it's his truck and he can clearly afford it. The TRD pro still has a bone stock pos leaf pack which could definitely be upgraded with a set of Deavers etc. Nothing wrong with lifting the front a bit either.

    OP, you can easily fit 33's with a 3" lift and if you don't care about replacing the OE Fox TRD Pro CO's and rear shocks you can do anything you want. Get a nice set of extended travel King or Fox CO's that will allow you to lift the front a few inches, pick up a set of UCA's so your alignment will work out post lift, new leaf pack for the rear and extended brake lines for all four corners.

    Tbh I'd do go with 2 inch long AAL for the rear, Icon or Total Chaos UCA's, extended Kings or Fox shocks and then coilovers. Do the research and find something you like. If you learn about suspension parts yourself and take limited advice from others, you will love your car a whole lot more.

    You do realize with a suspension lift, it allows more travel but eventually the wheel will end up in roughly the same location as a stock truck would as suspension flexes. Therefore anything that actually fits on a 3 inch suspension lifted truck would work on a stock height truck.

    Or are we talking about mall crawling? Then i still say 37s and drop bracket
