2017 TRD pro stiffer springs

Recently installed a southern style offroad Slimline bumper, and warn vr10 winch. Love the setup, but I definitely feel the weight up front. Anyone know if there are stiffer springs for the fox shocks on the pro, or if I should swap to new shocks altogether, wouldn't mind a slight lift as I have a wheelers add a leaf pack for all the crap I haul around.

 

sell the entire front coilover setup.
Take $$ and buy new extended length/spring rate coilovers. Keep the change

 

Dead.

 

Someone spent time on the valving in the pro suspension and it shows IMO. But change springs will upset valving to an extent, so there probably is not much loss in just replacing everything. My preference would be the adjustable Fox shocks made for this Tacoma, but you would need to know the current spring weight and new spring weight to see if it would be any better, or if you would simply be adding a ton of preload to get the feel/ height you want. I think if you simply go for the standard recommendations you'll be disappointed, you shoukd spend some time talking to experts at shops that rebuild fox and king suspension. Both can be made to handle better than the pro, but they won't without custom valving.

I should add that all this depends on how you drive your vehicle

 

I'm fully aware the extra cost for the pro is linked to the shocks, and I planned on leaving the truck mostly stock. Plans change. Anyone know the adjustable version of the fox shocks for the pro.

 

There probably isn't one.

The Pro Fox shocks and the non OEM equipment Fox shocks are not the same product.

 

They are not, but they are also very similar from external appearance, shaft diameter and stroke. (ignoring adjuster). Makes you wonder if you could use the adjustable body with the spring and internals from the oem shock.

 

^^^This.

Better yet, sell the whole truck for an SR5

 

I hear from a reliable source that lockers and all those fancy electronics don't help at all. Pics of reliable source attached.

 

Or that’s just a shitty driver.

 

@OP Fox themselves do not sell a heavier spring for the stock TRD PRO coilovers. I have a PRO as well and have been looking into all avenues of suspension upgrades; from full kits, to buying aftermarket in pieces, to heavier springs. I had to spend the time to measure out the stock springs and they come out to 12.3" length, 3.0" diameter, and 650lbs. I have had no luck on finding a spring that size for a heavier weight as I am pretty sure it is a custom size for the PRO. As it looks, best option is to swap out the suspension completely for an aftermarket set. Whether you sell your stock ones to lessen the blow financially or keep them as a backup set if your aftermarkets break is your choice.

 

Hmm. He must have had the wrong setting on the crawl control feature on a 2nd gen.

 

***********
Icon coilovers 700# springs.

 

I have a Pro and find myself having the same issue. I keep hearing mixed reviews on Icon though

 

We tried those, it lifted the front of his truck too much.

 

I would try the 650 coils Wheelers sells for the 6112's The free height would be more and the rate would be the same.

 

Eibach.com should be easy now that the stock specs have been posted, please update if you go this route!

Remove all the preload.

 

Not sure what you mean by this; the PRO shock's spring seats aren't adjustable.
