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

so why is everyone installing the 3 leaf ad a leaf with leaf spring on the truck vs. remove the whole leaf spring out add your leafs then put it back in?

 

I hear ya. I really wanna get all my concerns in writing with the dealer while I’m still stock so they don’t try to pull the old “it’s because of the lift and tires”

 

Exactly. I heard the dreaded rear end whine today for the first time. Swapping suspension will definitely stop them from doing anything. I just want the chassis damper, but
I don't want to pay for it. I'm gonna have to risk the bearing issue.

 

I've been complaining about the rear end whine since day one. The techs "can't hear anything." My list of concerns is too long, most have been documented, I'm swapping my shit.

Now whats this chassis damper you speak of???

 

Mine just started today so it really stood out. I guess as part of the TSB, they change leafs, and add a chassis damper to absorb the harmonic form the rear gear. Also some isolation pads I believe are part of the fix.

 

Well shit. I’m throwing everything on this weekend.

Oh well.

I originally envisioned keeping this truck til the wheels fell off. My first 6k miles have me doubting that’ll happen while I’m the owner. Might as well enjoy it as much as possible while it’s still in my driveway.

 

I love my truck. I'm at 16k and it's been pretty good. Even this howl won't change that. My dealer on the other hand...
Hopefully you can make the truck into what you like.

 

i must be missing something,, wondering why a post like this isnt posted in the suspension forum, we have differant forums for differant topics.. just saying.

 

It started out as a heads up, general question relating about a second gen suspension on a third gen truck. Second gen has a similar thread. Suspension thread has several.

 

There might even be a grammar forum you could find too

 

hey guys, i read most of the 90 pages lol and didnt seem to come across any Canadians getting this kit, just curious, has anyone from Canada ordered this kit? if so from where?

 

I ordered from Conicelli Toyota, eastern USA. Had it shipped to Sumas, WA. worked fine. What part of the country do you live in ?

 

Regina, SK, i called a few dealers here around me and they don't even see the part number, i can get it shipped to Plentywood MT, only 2 hours away, but i was just curious if they were available in Canada at all

 

They aren't available up here, you need to order to the border. Good excuse for a road trip!
Plus I picked mine up for $550 plus shipping, definitely a good deal
Grew up near Lloydminster on the Sask side.

 

I got one ... I haven't gone down to pick it up yet. There are a number of shipping companies south of the border that will give you a shipping address at their facility for a very reasonable fee. You just ship to that address, drive across the border, and pick it up.

Or order from a dealership close to the border, drive down and pick it up. That's what I did this time.

 

Yeah that's what i will end up doing, Thanks guys!

 

Installing them on the truck is pretty easy once you learn the technique to it. Trying to muscle around an entire leaf pack (plus AAL) with the truck only on jack stands isn't an easy thing to do.

 

100% this, especially the part about when using only jack stands!

 

Has anyone ordered from oempartworld recently that is not on backorder?

Or did anyone order from there at any point and show a status of backorder?
