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

The dealer warranty is going to be one year unlimited miles. I'm sure this will be taken case by case being that not many will fail in under a year. And if they do, unfortunately will most likely get discarded as improper usage or some other excuse for not being able to get them any more. I show about 5 LF, RF, and Rear shocks in the warehouse so if one blows they can warranty just the bad shock, given there is still stock available.

 

I think it's a fair review, but there's no comparison to the standard suspension. My experience is that it's a significant upgrade on the road. Far less body roll and less vague in all road driving situations compared to stock. I'm certain that the supply will be gone before there's much extended usage from the contributors to this thread.

 

The only way to get it really plush on the trail is go with Kings or Icon Fox and have it valved for offroad, everything else is going to feel stiff on washboards especially with no load in the bed. But these are about as good as it gets I think without spending a bunch of cash. Bilstein advertises the 6112 and 5160 combo as their serious adventure series. Thats what these shocks are.

 

No issues. I believe I torqued ubolts to 88ftlb, checked a few times. Will try to grab a pic.

 

Is it possible the 3rd gen Foxes will become the OEM replacement; even for 2nd gen?

 

I don't think so. Different part numbers. If you blow a shock, you can't strap a FOX in as replacement. I wonder how toyota will handle this?

I'm looking for 7 years and 70 000 miles out of these. Then I will buy a whole new setup or a new truck.

 

Is it true the rear shocks, don't come with washers and bushings? If so what is everyone using? Factory hardware?

 

You have a 2018, i think you're safe.

 

Thank you, Sir. Yes 18 only 125 miles on her.

 

Hell, i'll do that many today, already half way there lol...

I got mine delivered today ... these things are very STOUT. No chips on the paint everything was well packaged.
Im a happy customer.

For those that have already installed these, did you use red or blue thread lock for the suspension?

 

Blue, red is if you don’t want it to ever come off.

 

Hey guys,

My order is being processed. Still don't know if the dealer can even get the parts from Toyota. However, I have been charged.

Anyone want to buy the shocks from me when they arrive? I feel like it's worth just to spend an extra 600 to have adjustable ride heights. I like that my rear is a bit higher than the front, and I am not sure I want to deal with a 1.75inch lift when i just wanted 1 inch.

 

Any rub on cab mount or anywhere? Even at full bump and turned?

 

Slight rub in reverse at full lock on uca, the only other time it rubbed was in a campground on a wheeling trip....

 

Is this for front and rear?

 

Did they come with reservoir brackets for the rear? Curious what we got to work with...
