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

Thats crazy how much rear lift you got without the overload! "Re-think, Re-think"

 

Yes I have ICON AAL in the rear too.

 

I meant up front. Do you have 265/70-16 (or 265/65-17) tires? It just seems like you've got a ton up front compared to most, but maybe the 265/75 tires people run hide it better.

 

Tire size?

 

If you are/were planning to keep the OL in, just keep it. If you go without it to begin with and then decide you want to add it later, your center pin will be too short from where you trimmed it for the bump stop. Not a big deal but you’ll have to buy a new set (under $15, but still $15). The work involved to go one way or the other is the same, you’ll just save a few bucks by leaving it in to start.

Firestone did a pretty good job. I’m happy.

 

If you’re on the fence about getting one, don’t hesitate. This suspension handles very well. I’m going to be posting more about the truck and videos soon on Instagram. @michaelibanez

 

Does anyone know how I can get a hold of one these kits. Is there an individual parts list floating around or something.
Thanks in advance guys.

Nice! I just looked back at your install posts and have a few questions.

1. Did you do UCA’s?
2. Where did your alignment end up?
3. Did you do ECGS bushing? If not, any vibes?

I just had knee surgery so my install date has been pushed back. However, the delay may allow additional funding for UCA’s or other add-ons if needed.

Thanks!

 

Thanks man! Stock UCAs and no ECGS bushings, decides to wait until the needle bearing fails and try to have Toyota repair it under warranty. And my alignment was actually pretty decent, I’ll have to find the paper and look at the numbers exactly. But definitely no complaints, a buddy and me knocked out the install in a few hours on a Saturday morning.

 

FWIW: DO THE ECGS BUSHING. Needle bearing failed immediately after lift.....

 

Just finished the fronts and I'm beat! Is the back any harder and ling that will take i need a long break

 

Sorry to hear that. Mine's still good 400 miles after lift.

 

Are you putting in an AAL? If not, the rears are really easy (IMO).

 

I'm putting in a single AAL don' want to cut or grind

 

I’m 800+ miles so far so good, knock on wood. Drove down to LA and back to cen cal, no issues.

 

Truck looks great!
What size tires are you running and do you have aftermarket wheels ?

 

Then the back can be a little more intensive. Watch Rob's videos and ask plenty of questions.
