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

and @Rob Daman, your TACO looks great. Thanks for the vids, they were helpful for novices like myself!

 

Glad to help and thanks for the compliment!

 

I finally had time to take a a side picture. Had my suspension, tires, and wheels done earlier last week.

Tires: 285/75R16 (33s) Toyo AT2
Wheels: Pro Comp 5001 Series 0 Offset

The front sits a little less than 1/4 higher compared to the rear.

 

Did you have to do anything to get those tires to fit? Spare?

 

I measured everything out and the minimum rubbing was 0 Offset in size 16 with 4.5 backspacing. It barely rubbed at full lock, but I overland so I had CMC done (not a lot of material was taken out) and just took a heat gun to the inner wheel well and pushed the trims in a bit. No rubbing anymore (I did a flex test with a forklift) and can't even tell the CMC was done cause I only had to take very little off.

 

Here are mine,all matching numbers

 

The springs are probably the exact same rate and length.

 

I am thinking the dealers ran out of the matching parts kits and started throwing a bunch of parts together too make some more kits too sell,hopefully there are no problems with the mismatched kits.

 

Unrelated to this issue, but I ordered some TRD Pro fogs the other day and when I picked them up at the dealership and opened them up in my truck I received (2) left hand side assemblies, even though I had RH and LH marked boxes.

Toyota may need to tighten up their QC on labeling, huh?

 

Your left one is a 4Runner coil

 

Checked mine. They have matching part numbers on the coil and shock for each side.

 

Did a Toyota dealer print off an exact label for the entire kit, find the exact factory box and ship out? I think not. They stand to profit more selling the parts individually. Did Toyota clear them out because they knew this happened?

 

Who knows,maybe you should ask them .

 

Phew... all done. Better picks tomorrow when light. No squeaking, no pulling, no grinding, no vibrations. About 2” all the way around. I could not be happier.

 

Looks perfect

 

Different part #s different part.Id be suprised if they are the same.JKs have many spring sizes for the many models they have(2 door 4 door softtop hardtop).They all have different part #s.Hope it works out.

 

Hopefully have the info tomorrow....

 

How long did it take u do the whole install did you have any help?

 

Yes. Get a buddy. An extra set of hands is extremely helpful. Took us about 6-7 hours with breaks and shit. Hand tools, no compressor, and lot of wait a minute is this right moments.
