TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Did you do the install? Or did you have a shop do it?

 

Front LT is simply bolt on, the rear depends if you go full blown sua with relocated shocks then yea it will cost a little bit to get back to stock. I have had my rear relocated for almost two years now and a stock rear can't even come close to it.

 

The rear I had a shop do cause my buddy isn't that familiar with sua stuff, but I installed the front with him. I do have a friend on here thatcan do axles which is by far the most challenging part for the front where you separate the cv and add the extended shaft. Tc has really good instructions for everything else. Just make sure you have a welder to get the limit straps on.

 

If you have the option I would def recommend doing the install vs having a shop do it so you can understand the kit. The components are pretty self explanatory, but in the event you have to remove a part it's good to get comfortable with your setup.

 

I love the stance of your truck! it looks pretty level, is it?....my stock 2015 TRD Pro definitely squats in the rear and I want to level it up! Where did you get the 1/2" front spacer? I'm also thinking about installing the ICON Progressive AAL......did you have to use extended length shocks or were your stock shocks ok to reuse? Did you need extended SS brake lines front or back?

My plan is to add a 1/2" front spacer and the ICON Progressive AAL to the rear to level it up but also add some lift.....I guess I'm trying to copy you......is that basically what you did?

Thanks for your help!!

 

Can't speak for him, but I have the 1/2" top plate spacer and Dakars.

 

What your searching for is exactly what I have. I’m running an ICON progressive AAL in back and added Toytec top plate spacers on top of my front coilovers (which are basically identical to yours). I’m still using the stock rear shocks (also identical to yours) and no extended brake lines....you don’t really need those until you reach 3”....and only really if you plan on wheeling with your truck.
So I’m at 1.5” lift in back and 2.25” in front......and still just a tad of rake.

 

thanks for the info, that's exactly what I was looking for!...time to order!

 

Let me know if you have any more questions

 

When you installed your ICON AAL did you leave the over load spring in or remove it?

 

I removed it, but you can leave it in and get a tad higher.

 

Ok that's how I installed mine last year I have a slight rake but considered adding a small spacer on the front coils, but don't want the front to have a negative pitch. How much did it bring you up?

 

It brought me up 1/2”......if you do what I did you’ll still have a rake but it will just be very suttle .....perfect if you ask me. I’m at the firehouse, I’ll try and post a couple new pics later if I can.

 

Has anyone gone with the RXT leaf springs?

Beautiful truck! Inferno is my favorite, wish I could've found a 6spd inferno, but I settled on Barcelona red. If you don't mind me asking, how are you liking your ST Maxx's? and you running 285's or 255's?

 

I run St Maxx’s..... great tire but duratracs are better ..... at least in snow and rain...

 

Thanks!

I love the ST Maxx's, and have them on the wife's 4Runner as well. I think they do fine in the rain, and I just did a 10,000 mile road trip across the western US on them. Off road they do excellent in all but the worst muck, because they obviously aren't a mud tire. Those are 315's. 285's on the wife's.

 

Did you have to get your truck's front end realigned after the spacers?

 

Luckily no.....I went to get it checked and done if needed, the tech came out to tell me I was within spec and did not need it. This isn’t to say that if you do it that you won’t need an alignment.......I just got lucky

 

I think I misunderstood and I almost ordered the wrong thing.......is this what you have up front? http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/TOP1-T--Front-Top-Plate-Spacer-Kit-_p_333.html

If I install this front spacer then I'll be a 2.25" in front and here's what I'm planning on for the rear.......http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Toytec-Progressive-3-Leaf-Add-A-Leaf-Pack_p_976.html.....it says it'll achieve a 2" lift in the rear WITHOUT the factory overload.

I want to get rid of the rear squat as much as possible and have the same ride quality......what do you think of this proposed set-up??

Here's my truck now.....
