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

Well ladies and gents, ai will be installing my suspension today...Will take measurements and pics!

I still need to figure out my AAL situation...

To those that purchased an AAL, which leaf are the spring retainers mounted on to?

 

Yes

 

On the HS kit the retainers are on the 3rd leaf.

*Edited for clarity*

 

I haven't had any issues at all front or rear. This is a very mild lift which is why I chose (price helped too). If the bearing goes out, I'll take it to Toyota for warranty.

This little excursion into mod world is costing me a new stove...

Be sure to post some pics of your rig.

 

Thank you! It appears the icons are on the longest, and second longest...the second longest will be riding on the OL...guess I’ll have to order a headstrong leaf.

 

No issues with the needle bearing for me.

 

My definition is that it doesn't launch me into the headliner when I hit a pothole.

 

Looks like poway?

 

East County-El Cajon!

 

Railroad tracks would probably be a good indicator of relative softness. So, how does the TRD suspension perform compared to to stock when crossing RR tracks at various speeds?

 

No wonder they’re in stock, they aren’t east county enough

 

That' what they look like with nothing in the bed at 55k never towed anything with it and the heaiest load I ever put there is my kayak to go fish maybe like 10 times max!
Dealer seem to thing is normal and the constant squeaking they said is due for using my truck like a truck and the leafs a little dirty! They charged me 60$ to diagnose and come up with this conclusion

 

Sounds like it is time to find a new place to take your truck

 

Yeih looks like it! Ima give the manager a chance to fix this on Monday cuz I already drive an hour to a diffeent town! the ones near by are terrible

 

Im actually thinking of selling my set. I originally planned on just upgrading the stock shocks to 5100's all around but the price of the TRD PRO/Baja setup was too good to pass up. The more research I do it looks like the truck will be slightly nose high which is not the look I want and I dont want to do an AAL or swap in different leafs to bring the back up. Ill keep researching on here to see what other people's opinions are after they do their install, maybe it will persuade me more to keep them.

 

I got a bad feeling they are gonna cancel my order. I bought them through Conicelli on the 16th and haven’t heard anything from them yet

 

Well my 18 DCLB with 155 miles on it, and overload touching in front of spring and a 1/4" from touching in the rear of spring. All I have is factory tonneau cover (85lb) and another 30lb in bed of truck. Negative arch in spring. I was going to go with an 3 leaf add a leaf, but now may go with whole new leaf pack. Can't imagine what's going to happen when loaded with gear and Ranger Boat with tongue weight of 200lb. Damn...

 

Yup I looked at all the new ones on the lot and as they were not touching there was not much of an arc there!

 

Sell them to me
