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

These are what I am running. I have had them on for a year now. I also have on-board air and an in-line 2 gallon air tank.

 

Yes, I used my OL. It's been almost a week and I have settled to 1.5" of rake. It's perfect for me. But like you said, you could leave the OL out for now and see how yours settles out. Or leave it in and pull it later. Either way, leat us know and post pics/measurements.

 

Did you do the add a leaf too or Bags only? I ordered the skyjacker soft ride add a leaf for 2" then I figured I would add the bags and air depending on how it sits.

 

No aal just the stock leaf pack.

 

When looking at it from the side is the rake very noticeable? Thinking of putting in since it will settle some and sag some in the future.

 

Installed mine yesterday, myself. I went with the Icon progressive AAL without the overload spring. Installation was fairly straightforward, just time consuming. I didn't bother to measure how much lift I got, but I can tell you that the ride is wayyy better than stock. Body roll and brake diving are gone. Offroad, if you go slow, it's firm, but the faster you go, the smoother it gets. It likes to be driven fast. Wheels and tires are 4runner Pro SEMA with 265/70-R17 KO2's, for those wondering.

 

They are mostly out of it and dealerships have a backlogged of over 100 right now for the past 2-3 weeks. On top of that, many vendors that used to sell em are no longer will be getting shipment from Toyota. They are going up in price too so I guess deal is over. You will probably find a couple people in here like myself that accidentally ordered 2 since I thought one of my orders was going to be cancelled thru one vendor. Planning to sell my extra set when it gets in.

 

Did your needle bearing explode instantly upon lift?

Anyone else with this kit that didn’t do the ECGS bushing have immediate needle bearing failure or vibration issues?

I’m still waiting to install mine. Decided I’ll be buying the Icon RXT leaf pack and a few other misc. parts for my install (carrier bearing spacers, SuperBump bump stops, etc...). Just have to have the Mrs. wedding ring updated for her b-day so she doesn’t care how much I spend on my truck. I call it distraction via shiny objects... then I’ll sneak in some 265/75/R16 Wildpeaks as well.

 

Did anyone have any issues with the bracket/rivet on the AAL sitting on top of the overload? Eyeballing mine it looks like it will. I know I’ll have to cut off the factory rear retainer though.

 

You're leafs still look new lol. Mine don't. My new leafs aren't even as good looking as your stock leafs.

 

I picked these up from a local guy...2018 Pro leafs w/ 950mi on them.

They actually have a different part number than any of the other leaves as well...no one can confirm they are the same or different from the off-road leaves. I did read a post that said they lift 1” but can’t confirm it

 

My local Dealership had one in stock today.

 

Good for you on not paying inflated blow out prices.

 

Good deal.

 

Lmao

 

So my leafs in the back touch the overload with no load in the truck! Tword the cab there is about 1/2 clearance! My dealer seem to think it is normal. Will putting 3 leafs aal be a waste or I need a whole new leaf pack! I really didint want to spend another 500$ but i dont want to install the aal and it will get flattened right away!

 

I like how the consensus definition of a good ride is "less body roll, no nose diving when braking". Do you all drive like hormone-raged 16 year-olds?

 

Don't know why yours is about to hit the overload rubbers?? Did you mod something with the suspension already? Seems strange if it is sitting that low in the back without any mods.

Just wanted to share...... when I was looking for anyone who has modified the grill colors I found my truck's almost identical twin bro. This is the factory version of my Baja for sale down in GA it looks like but it has about double the miles mine has.... https://www.hendrickatlanta.com/used-Duluth-2014-Toyota-Tacoma-Base-5TFLU4EN8EX096505
