    Looks like @tacoma2k4 put it on his Sport 2nd gen as well as @Firefighter813x on his 2nd Gen Sport, its all the same parts, the uca's/lca's are the same
    I'm putting the 35150 on my Sport.

    Yes, one strut will have a clip lower than the other side. The highside one goes on the driver, the lower one on the passenger.

    That guys dealer is why we hate dealers. The only difference between the kits, (baja/pro) 35120/35150 is the spring rate. Color me surprised that they recommended the kit with the higher markup, or the one they had in the back... Assholes.

    Yeah, on the original TRD pro threads the guys list the differences between the Pro and the sport/offroad models and other than the suspension and a couple of other things its mainly visual stuff. I will check my rear brake lines once installed.

    Yeah, mine come in Monday. I don't know when I'll get them installed, hopefully by the end of the month. It will be interesting to see the difference between us and the V6 models.

    I picked mines up on Friday. I will probably install next week. I have a 2017 v6 SR5 2wd. I will wait and see what height I get before I order the rear lift. On the fence about 1 or 1.5 rear lift. Dont want the bro lean. Either leveled or slightly higher in the back.

    Man, this thread makes my head spin ! Prolly cause I don't know what is what here with regards to the upgrade.
    My main reason to like this is performance.
    Yeah, the lift is cool but I want to give the truck every advantage when adding weight and while towing.

    I'd also like to keep the rake I have now.

    So, OK then..... all BS'n aside. What's the bottom line ?

    In order to install these shocks front and back....
    What needs to be ordered and from whom ?
    What else needs to be ordered aside from this kit and from whom ?
    What needs to be installed or done at installation or after above and beyond SOP's ?

    The only thing you are going to want is an AAL in the back if you still want some rake, Icon, Wheelers. You just want around 1.5/2 inches in the back to keep the rake.
    thats it, install the shocks and relax. Don't over think it.
