    Prior to my to lift I had a pair of Hellwig helper springs out back supplementing my stock springs to help with the added weight of the Cap, Sliders, roof rack, and Tent. They did their job well but unfortunately they don’t work in conjunction with my ICON AAL.

    So now I’m running the stock spring minus overload with the ICON AAL

    Got it - looks real good. Any issues running the ICON AAL with the Overload? Did you need to remove some clamps?

    I'm posting this more for the 2nd gen guys watching this 3rd gen thread...

    For what it's worth, in addition to this thread, here are some more threads that have been getting data trickling in regarding the TRD Pro suspension installs.

    Do you mind me asking how much are they charging you for labor doing a suspension swap? Toyota of Bellevue and some other shops in the city were steeeep.

    Alright guys!

    After 1 week owning the suspension I went out and tested it at Holy Jim. I did a really quick video about it. I hope you enjoy it! I had some fun doing this one unlike my 8 hour install ordeal. haha.

    Video is below and for others who haven't seen my install VLOG of this BRO suspension and Headstrong AAL, I've added that original video below as well!

    Thanks as always for your positive feedback and subscribe if you haven't!

    What are they asking at the other shops?
    They originally quoted me $315 just for shocks and front spring but on the day I added the AAL for an additional $105.

    The quotes I got for a similar kit, AAL, UCAs, and alignment were ranging from $800 - $1100 plus tax. UCA quotes were around 2 hrs of labor so subtract $150-200...even then Mule is a steal of deal!

    That doesn't seem bad. All the quotes I received are between $600 - $700 including an alignment.

    Ok, i'm going to cross post this to see if i get any hits. I got the Pro setup sitting out back, like many of you, waiting to be installed.

    Looking for some Pro owners that have a little weight up front and what their hub to fender measurements are, if they remember. My weight is 120ish Also what ride is like, etc... If you dont mind. I know Dave chimed in on an earlier post of mine. I'm trying to determine if i should look at swapping my Pro springs for some Baja or equivalent 650's.

    What it looks like now, minus the Duratrac's. Sorry for the cross-post's :crapstorm:

    I contacted a dozen or so dealerships and was only able to find one from a dealership that wouldn't ship it. I also found the dealer inventory check to be pretty hit or miss on accuracy. I know several people on here have put in way more effort and seen some success but I didn't have it in me. Ended up putting my name on a vendor list for the now back ordered (to mid-April) 6112's.

    The Pro Kit was $684 from a dealership in Mesa, AZ. I went with RCA for the 6112's for $591. I have a bday coming up soon so I was going to try to hit up my family (AKA beg my wife) for some gift cards for the 5160's.
