    That is now the standard price direct from Toyota. Olath Toyota has them for $580 on their website. My local dealer matched the $580. The pro suspension is not adjustable and it is still unknown exactly how much lift it will provide. There are several members waiting on kits to install and measure. Current guesses are .75 to 1.75. If you want 2 or more inches of lift, the pro kit likely will not provide it.

    So, would it better and more wise to go with 6112's?....

    I still think it’s a great price. The 6112 with rears will run close to 1k. Depends how important adjustability is to you. I bet by the weekend we will have more info on the ride height of the pro kit.

    If you dont go with the TRD’s i would skip the 5100’s and go with the 6112’s.

    Im not expert but I do think those Pro ones are the 6112s. Ive seen those on the 2nd gen pros and I can tell you that they are much bigger the 5100s

    Wish they would bring the price down on the 2017-18 Fox/TRD version.

    If it's similar to the 2nd gen 6112, I thought those came with a 600lb front spring. I remember reading in the 6112 thread the 3rg gen 6112's were updated to 650 lb front springs. That might be a factor for 3rd gen people to consider.

    So do these TRD sets also come with a 600# spring since they were made for a 2nd gen? If I remember correctly the 3rd gen Fox's also come with 650# springs like the 3rd gen 6112's.

    I'm getting ready to add a slimline front bumper and winch. Anyone have any idea if this would give my 3rd gen any lift? I'm really wanting to keep it about stock height with the bumper.

    I believe toytec measured the stock springs to be around 700 lb... but they are shorter than a lot of the aftermarket coils. There are a bunch of factors all at play. Spring stiffness, length, preload, shock valving that can all effect ride height and ride quality.

    That’s a pretty good price. Thought the TRD Pro suspension was more

    Excellent. Putting it on my list, but I'd like to get a solid measurement from someone who's done it already, because I'm not looking for "level", I'm looking for a lift with a little rake (rear a little higher than front(

    1" lift from 3rd gen suspension, 265/75/16 ATs
    Is that for front only or includes rear shocks as well?
