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

No doubt about that

 

You might be surprised. The owner of an off-road shop in Virginia where I had my Icons installed switched his wife’s Icons out for a 6112/5160 setup b/c she hated how rough the icons were in her T4R. She loves her new setup.
Btw, their house is located near the Outer Banks and requires a very long high speed beach run as part of her daily commute.

 

There will be many not happy with them, same with everything else. They don't say icon or king or fox so someone will talk bad about them.

 

HAHA, very true. They seem like a perfect solution for me though. Slight lift and improved ride quality on and off road.

 

That's why I got them...

 

No way! I'm all for any Tacoma brother getting a good deal, in 3 years the new Fox Pro stuff will be on sale for $600 and we can jump on that deal

 

They already updated the fox line for the tacoma, 4runner, and tundra. So the t4r and tundra bilstien stuff will be the next to be blown out.
Probably followed by the 17-18 tacoma fox suspension.

 

I’m loving them so far

 

I procrastinated on the 10% off Conicelli deal and missed it.
I just placed my order at McGeorge Toyota here in Virginia fingers crossed I get a confirmation email on Monday that it’s on the way.
Had it in my cart since Thursday so I’m hoping that I lucked out

 

Had it in my cart since yesterday so I am keeping my fingers crossed as well.

 

Just installed these yesterday. Ride so far is nice, but I guess ride quality is subjective. I drove about 70 miles on it yesterday and went through a portion of my daily drive home in it to check out how the ride feels. Definitely can feel the difference on hitting the little bump on the road I usually take on at about 20mph compared to stock. I am sitting a little over 1 inch higher in the front compared to the rear. The rear did not really get any lift, mine was sitting like an 1/8 inch higher than stock but that could have just been my tape measure placement from the center of the wheel to the fender. Picture was taken today in SoCal 70 degree weather with a half tank of gas.

 

That is pretty high.I like the quicksand.

 

Your truck looks good, your lift in the rear is going to come from your leaf springs.
How did the install go? did you do it yourself?

 

No I didn't install myself but I probably should have. I just didn't have the jacks and metric tools required but I probably should get some. (I use standard tools for work on turbine engines). The shop I went to was cool and gave me a fair price on install and alignment done together. They did it on a lift and air tools so it was like a 45min job. I've been keeping track with the talk on here about how high I can go with the rear to get the rake back so I'm probably going to shoot for that leveled look since I don't really haul much in the bed. Just a couple of rifles, a cooler, and bags whenever I go to Nevada to drive the dirt trails to find a nice spot for a bit of range time.

 

tacosupreme , that parking lot is “eagle rock “ plaza ?????

 

haha right on the money!

 

Holy shit , i live in sunland , know the area well , who installed your lift ???? Grew up in eagle rock - highland park

 

Really looks great. Hopefully there's length in the rear shocks to get the rake back. If so this setup is going to be exactly what I was looking for

 

Check your DM. don't want to steer this thread a different direction. lol

 

I think a few pages back someone said that the rear could handle up to a 2 inch lift.....can't seem to find that though.
