(SOLD OUT) Discounted Price on TRD Pro Suspension Kit

Finished really late, was too dark for pics but I'll take some in the day today. The AAL was a huge pain. The finished product is a pretty substantial lift, more than I wanted really but I'll take it.

 

I just ordered from them too since they’re about an hour away from me. If it goes through I’d be willing to help out.

 

Why was th AAL a pain? Issue? Just curious.

 

You're a Gent ! I'll PM you as soon as I find out. Thanks !

 

Dang I want these to replace my stock Sport setup that seem to bottom out on front driver side in the mornings over the curb. The price is a deal. What is a good price on alignment?

 

Around here in Wisconsin the going rate is around $90 for a four wheel ailgnment.

 

Where does the reservoir go? Do you have to drill into the frame to install a bracket?

 

For one, I needed to lift the truck up higher than my jack and stands could go to get the new center pin in comfortably. The new center pin also needed to be cut to size, and a lot of time was spent aligning the leaf springs up to get the new center pin in (again, would have been easier if I was able to jack the truck up higher).

 

Nah, you sit it in a small rectangular hole in the frame and use the included hardware to sandwich it in over the hole.

 

How is the ride quality on the street with these vs stock TRD OR? I've been trying to keep mine stock since it drives so nice but the price on this kit is legit

 

I've read good things, front springs are... 50lb... stiffer? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong).From 650 to a 700 or a 600 to a 650 spring. I did alot reading up on them some months ago. Alot of people reported less nose dive from the front end while braking and less body roll than before. And not much of a ride change.

 

I've read similar. Regarding driving on hiway/city-- Seems like for every 20 positive reviews I might have seen one negative. And the negative wasn't terrible by any means, just said it was a little stiffer and they were overall content.

 

I find my TRD OR sport suspension very soft. Too much body roll/nose dive. The only thing I don't like is with the shell on the back and with my recalled 4 pack leaf springs. i bottom out on the bump stops on the frame on some good dips. Thats a good kick in the ass.... But too fix that I need to lift the back end back up.

So I'll be using this setup in conjunction with a AAL in the rear.

 

My dealer quoted 4.5 hours @ $75 hour plus a $90 alignment. Total of $427.

 

Same here. My SR5 suspension is way to soft for my likes. Nose dive, roll, off road recovery... I think the Pro suspension will be ideal.

 

You coul do way cheaper and easier yourself!! Its not that difficult. Im no gearhead but I did it twice , with help. Im co dependent so , another body is cool. Id bet there are several members in your area that would help!!!

 

I still might do it myself. It's not that I'm scared or unprepared it's just that it is so damn cold here right now until April-ish and I really hate working on shit in the cold. If it warms up sooner then I'm all in.

 

I drove mine about 150 miles the other day which included interstate and very twisting remote state highway. My experience is that it's significantly more compliant and yet at the same time it controls body roll far better. Mine has a new leaf pack to help with the body roll. I also noticed on really harsh compressions it's more controlled. It seems to track better on the entry and the rebound out of it keeps the truck straight. I noticed more of an off kilter pogoing effect before.

 

Don't know if anyone has said this yet or not, but there's some dealer on eBay selling a set for 699 shipped. A bit more than what we were paying before but maybe worth it for somebody, still a good deal for what they did cost.
