Lifting a 2018 TRD Pro

man, you guys... Ayeele, truck looks awesome and extra glad you bought a Pro to convert to SR5 with baller suspension. :sarcasm:

good info on not having to re calibrate anything, I just finished up the rear on mine and all is well also.

 

So...

I guess I’ll be the first to write something. First, thanks for the before and after shot on the paint. I have to ask, is that a wrap or did you have it painted?

 

You have to expect this sort of response on a public forum man. Some of it will be what you don’t want to hear.

You also attracted a lot of PRO haters because of your title. If you just said “lifting a 2018” you would have attracted a different crowd.

 

Nice truck by the way. I just bought pro suspension off of someone like you. I think it benefits the whole community if someone wants to mod their truck and someone wants the parts, Win-Win.

 

Update i got the truck back from the dealership perfectly fine. They did a full diagnostic and everything is fine. They didnt need to recalibrate the tss. I drove 500 miles and not a hiccup. It works as should even on the lowest sensitivity

 

Sounds like the needing to recalibrate and not being able to add a lift was a bunch of BS that some ran wild with.

 

Yeah i think its just assumptions. Not sure how people can say something with zero proof or experience. I had my dealer document everything so just in case... i can bring up my trucks been diagnosed and checked for anything thatll hinder my driving capability. Now im good

 

Nice truck!

 

Greetings Ayee.

Nice to know you're around here. Loving the outcome since I saw it on TT3G.

Seems like haters will be found everywhere you go. haha

 

Glad everything worked out. I'm sure you saved a lot of 18 owners time by being the first to lift one and posting the results regarding TSS.

 

Nice looking pro ayeele! Usually not a fan of black but man that looks nice.

 

Keep in mind a lot of the Pros are sold way above MSRP. Buying a 45k Pro for 55k then removing 3k in suspension and replacing it with 5k king suspension just doesn't compute for a lot of people.

But I have zero problem with you doing it. People spend a shit ton of money modifying corvettes, mustangs, jeeps, etc.

I personally would only buy a Pro for an exclusive color, but Toyota has shown that isn't possible.

So for me, getting the OR and cherry picking the options I want was the path to take.

 

Yeah everyone has a plan for their truck and thats why there’s 4 different options. I wanted an exclusive color but 2018 colors suck. Black is basic but whatever.. if i dont like it later, black is a great color to wrap over

 

I had black for about 10 years. If you keep a good coat of wax on it, it looks awesome from 10 feet away regardless of how dirty it is. Up close it drove me crazy. But when it's clean and well kept it's hard to beat for looks.

 

Ive owned black motorcycles and it sucked lol oh well.. I already had the truck ceramic coated to help with keeping it nice

 

Also, after going back and looking at the pictures on the original post, this is one badass truck. Anyone doubting intentions has a seriously flawed way to look at things. It's definitely one of the best looking trucks on this site currently.

 

This right here is the truth. When i saw this thread i was like, this is the setup i want and hes a black 2018!

 

If you don’t mind me asking what’s that Ceramic coating run?

 

What did the set up ending up costing? I really like how it looks with the black and hints of blue in the kings.

Also what kind of MPG have you been getting with the lift and tires? With just tires right now (31s) I'm lucky to average 15 overall and I'm worried the go less with a lift.

 

Up here the gold package starts at $1700. Thinking about it...
