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

Are those stock tires? Also we are comparing a Sport to an Offroad, the factory shock dimensions could be slightly different and have an effect on the initial measurements.

 

It’s an offroad.

 

HA !

 

Ball Bustin' aside, I'm impressed with the level of participation in this thread !

But listen, I thought there was a left and right shock that was supposed to even out the lean ?

 

I noticed he had a lean of 1/2" also. Or some other strange measurement of your choice.

 

Yeah, a quarter up front and 3/8 in the rear ?

( " Post measurements LF-37 1/2 RF-37 3/4, LR- 36 2/8, RR-36 5/8. " )

 

Your before measurements echo what I got for mine quickly with a tape measure with a full tank of gas, although I was a bit more level in the rear. TPCs truck actually has 265/70-17 tires compared to our 265/70-16 so we must sit higher stock.

You definitely got more lift and a more significant lean as his was dead even side to side. You also got rear lift which he isn't showing at the moment as I believe he hadn't installed his.

 

Yeah a quarter. Not sure where I got 1/2"

 

That’s good to hear, made me go out to the garage and take another look

 

They only go in one way without rotating the piston. I tried every hole combination but only one allowed everything to line up. I have seen guys stick something through the lower mount and turn the piston but I think this is done when you assemble everything yourself and need to get it to line up.

 

Holy shit. That thing is beefy compared to the stock shock

 

If you guys measured from center of hub to the bottom of fender you don't have to worry about tire/rim size, easier to compare your lifts

 

Ya this is why I think it was still preloaded a bit after lowering on the ground

 

That's how I typically have done it. I was just backing up data with what I've seen. When I reported the lift I got on my 2G I had it as hun to fender.

 

I had about 1/8 inch of lean before things settled, then they ended up perfect.

I’ve got a headstrong 3 leaf add-a-leaf in the mail right now. Next weekend I will be installing the rear lift.

 

Excited for your results. I have a suspicion your setup is exactly what I'm after, a non-huge lift OEM+ look that is functional and rides better.

Now Im eagerly awaiting to see if that Warn bumper plays well with the Pro skid.

 

Ordered in california , los angeles area . Going to install on a dclb 2 wd . Will post numbers before and after . I have 265/70/17 tires and rims ....

 

Measure from the center of hub to fender. Tires are irrelevant!

 

Does it matter where you measure from as long as pre and post lift numbers are listed? Doesn't the difference between the two tell you the lift regardless of tires and wheels?

 

Measuring from hub to fender eliminates differences that tire/wheel size introduces. It standardizes the measurements so they are useful to everyone regardless of wheel/tire size.
