PTR13-35150 - Bilstein TRD PRO kit - Upgrade??

Just ordered mine from Toyota of Des Moines (thanks for the link @WNYTACO) for $621 shipped to my door. I called my local dealership to see if they would match (or come close) because I try to support local business, the D-bag that answers the phone informs that they don't match internet prices. I told him it was from another Toyota dealer at which time he told me that Toyota DOES NOT sell parts over the internet. At that point I knew I was dealing with an idiot so I hung up on him. Gotta love the customer service you get here in Southern MD.

 

Lol... nice.

Incompetence running rampant.

 

They can spend 950 dollars on 6112 and 5160 from any other retailer and get adjustable front height for much less. Toyota has no reason to continue selling these to one year of truck owners. These are for 2015 only

 

Yeah it's basically a TRD branded aftermarket suspension based on widely available aftermarket parts. You could build your own TRD suspension as stated above and just throw a couple stickers on.

 

There's a difference between the full kit being available and parts being available.

 

Was just curious. Also I believe it is 4 model years since 2012+ Baja uses same setup as far as I know. Either way I think that is lame, but I will leave it alone now.

 

Here you go, stock 17 Pro wheels and tires.

 

It's nose high because the 3rd Gen is already an inch higher in the front than a stock 2nd Gen right? So both generations seem to be getting the full 2" of lift. On a second gen this would likely level it out and not be nose high.

 

So it’s definitely nose high. Will you be doing anything to the rear to correct this or leaving it as-is?

 

Weird because you can swap 3rd gen OR shocks onto a 2nd gen (fronts) and get 1" of lift

 

Very nice Sir. Very nice.

 

Looks like i'm joining the club thanks to a cancelled order.

 

UGH, i wish this was as simple as ordering and having it work right, im barely learning about suspension in hopes of upgrading to some nice tires at some point and just when i thought i found a dope package you guys are over here talking about it needing spacers, leafs and whatever else. what is the point of even doing this if it doesnt give your truck an even lift???

im honestly clueless about all the other things that go along with a suspension upgrade so im not flaming or anything, i just cant figure out what this all means.

 

This gives a 1.5 to 2 inch lift that cannot be adjusted. Shocks like these cannot lift on their own so the rear stays the same

 

As is for now. Not towing anything currently, looks fine to me. Might change my mind down the road?

 

Welcome!

 

so basically only the front lifts and you would need a leaf spring or spacer to lift the back?

 

what is everyones take on adding a 1'' block to the rear to even it out? vs adding a leaf

 

Correct

 

That's my plan currently. Bought the ReadyLIFT 1" rear block to go with this kit.

*edit*
Think I'm going to see if I can return block and go with AAL instead.
