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

Just drove it 2.5 miles home from the shop, feels more supple over bumps but I’ll be going back out to the desert in three weekends and will really see how it does

 

@Timmcc02
Great! Seems like you got a bit more lift than other members before settling. Maybe the manual trans?
Also a bit different that your passenger side remains higher - did you move the clip up on the driver's side?

 

The part number on my springs went to the back side. Maybe just were they installed the decals? Looking at driver’s side here.

 

Keep up updated on how it settles. That looks super tall, significantly taller than @TPC and @pocketsmcaaron trucks.

You got nearly a 1/2" more of lift there.

Edit: The bizarre thing here is that 3G coils give a 2G a lift, but a 2G lift is the same on a 2 vs a 3. The coil location must sit higher on the 3G shock, which is why everyone thought (myself included) you'd only see the 0.75" of lift.

 

No I left it as is and installed it, I’m not in it for the lift, just better high speed performance on the dirt and more comfortable on road.

 

Did you add another spacer to the fronts? Looking like got over 2” on both sides. Guessing it will settle.

 

Heh, heh, heh... beat me that time, but only by 5/10 of an hour !

 

They can only be installed one way as long as you have it on the right side

 

How does it handle in low/high speed turns? More/Less body roll? Does it seem stiffer w/ enhanced performance?

 

Ya I bounced the front and rear after lowering and then taking the measurements but I’m sure I will get some settling

 

You mean 2 quarters lol

 

Unfortunately my commute to work is very short I’m gonna need at least a week to get a better feel for how I perceive them to be better

 

10.4

 

Snap ring is visible on drivers side, like in pic, but on mine part number and TRD decal is not visible. No big deal, just noticed the difference. Made me check directions to see if I had them on correct side!

 

Rad. I like where this is going. Will pair nicely with medium Dakar’s. My kit gets here Friday but I haven’t ordered my leaf kit yet. I’ve got knee surgery scheduled in early March and I’m thinking installing all this will be a good weekend activity after that since I can’t ski or bike for 2-4 weeks minimum.

 

Don't be stupid, he clearly said four eighths

 

Liking the outcome here

 

Who cares? He got 0.01263 of a rod of lift!!!

 

Mine installed the same as yours, part number facing inward. The top plate looks like it sits at a bit of an angle based on the shape of the top of the spring. I wonder if this has an effect on ride height.

 

Looking at my pre and post measurements I’m hoping it was just that I didn’t bounce the truck enough. Pretty off compared to TPCs truck. My truck currently has about a full tank of gas, I have a few things stored under my rear seats but nothing crazy heavy. I will remeasure it on Saturday in the shop and see
