    So we've ascertained that this will not provide any increase ride height in a TRD OR. What it will provide over the TRD OR is yet to be seen...

    Cushy and soft aren't the 2 adjectives I'd use to describe the ride in a sport. OR for sure, but not a sport.

    Jeez.... Guess I should have test drove an OR, but I'll tell you after 11 years or so behind the wheel of my 2nd Gen TRD 4X4 Sport, this new one can be described as "cushy" !

    No

    The thought occurred to me, that much like the new Fox TRD suspension there is a chance the subject equipment was never worth $1400-1800, and we are just getting the liquidated stock at a modest margin now that the hype has been shifted to the 3rd gen shiney.

    Well, yaaaa..... I suppose the TRUCK would feel a little rough ! :rolleyes:

    I drove a couple of the GTI's, one a diesel as I recall and it was Tons of fun!

    But to keep everyone on the same page, lets compare apples to apples !

    You think a truck would feel rough when compared to a sporty hatchback on low profile tires and a sport suspension? I expected the truck to feel more forgiving. Im not talking about riding like a truck or general driving Dynamics. I expected that, it was the hard suspension on the truck that was a surprise. To me the OR felt like a truck is supposed to feel. Maybe I'm not understanding you properly. I'd bet this setup listed by OP is much better than the sport or the OR though.

    This is a really great deal on the 2015 Pro suspension. And though not as good as the 2017 Fox/TRD suspension, this is better than The stock OR or sport suspension for 1/5 the price of the Fox/TRD.

    I wish I had known these would be so cheap a week ago before buying a scraped up set of Fox/TRD.

    Sounds like a winner, but I guess I would like to know if it actually gets any lift on our trucks.

    You can get 6112s/5160s for 900.00 shipped from race consulting agency. I did 6/5 settings and got 2.5 inches of lift on my 16 trd.
