(SOLD OUT) Discounted Price on TRD Pro Suspension Kit

How do you like the ride with those bags?

 

It's softer now that I can let them down to 5psi, instead of rolling around at 15, like I used to. But, it's still pretty stiff. I don't have anything else to compare it to though, as I've had the bags pretty much since I got the truck. It was one of my first mods.

I tow pretty heavy loads though and they're awesome for that. If I did it again, I'd still add them.

sorry for the terrible pics...

 

Today is the big day!

my brother in law and I are putting in the PRO Kit, new TSB take off leaf and add a leaf.

 

8 hours, 12 beers, 2 busted knuckles, and 1000 curse words later ......

 

what's your measurements/gains?

 

Looks a lot like mine.

 

I will measure tomorrow, too tired right now. Visually it looks huge. I'm thinking 2" all around

 

I should have done the beers. I definitely was cursing too.

Looks good though.

 

After measurements. No settling yet as it's one day old. I expect the fronts will come down 1/2"

Driving impressions. (Limited) thus far. Firm yet forgiving, the usual bumps and cracks that I drive over would be more jarring with the stock suspension, now it's more of a muted thud That feels disconnected from the truck. Definitely a little more "floaty" going through rolling bumps but doesn't seem to have much body roll cornering or nose dive.

 

Just installed my Dakar EL095R's with the bigger overload removed to replace the worn out stock leafs and Icon AAL. With my Baja suspension it's about 1.5" of rake if anyone was looking at running that leaf setup with their Pro/Baja suspension.

Hey guys, if anyone else here has been saving up for a set of dakars to go along with your new pro suspension, maybe take a second and cast your vote for a Dakar group buy here:

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Thanks!

 

Context is everything.....good thing there are pictures of trucks to go along with the dialogue.

Lol.

Truck looks good man!

 

Your truck looks great and Im about to do what you did to your rear end with the AAL and airbags but I might put foxs on the rear. I cant tell but did you leave the stock overload in?

Right now I have to put about 13 psi in the air bags to stay level and the ride is getting rough, it sounds like you had the same situation, did the AAL and 5100s make it ride better again?

 

I took 5100's out and put Pro setup in. 5100's dont really do anything for rear ride, with the bags aired up, to keep rake. Its a bit better now, that i can let the air down to 5psi. I took overload out. It'd probably be a lot better without the bags and just the aal w/no OL. But i prefer having the bags, for when i tow or load bed down.

 

Thanks for the reply, I agree on the air bag, when you get much over 15 psi in them they get really hard but under 10 seems to ride really good. Did those cradles come with the brackets or did you have to get that somewhere else.

 

I want and

Need to do those cradles myself! Looks good

 

I run mine flat as fuck. (5 ish that leaks after a few weeks)

Only add air for load, after loaded I level it back out and then for the trip maintain whatever that pressure is. They ride great, and have no problems (bags on my 2015 and 2017) 2 years on the 2015 set and 1 year on the 2017

 

I've had my TRD Pro suspension on for about a month or so. Overall, been very pleased with the ride on my 2015 DCSB 4x4. Been fighting some vibes after the lift though. No extra spacers up front and a Wheeler's 3-leaf AAL in the rear with the overload removed. When I take off in 4WD, the truck has zero vibration or shudder. When I switch back to 2WD, I get a shudder under 20 MPH.

Right now, I have a 1 degree rear shim angling the pinion down and an OME carrier bearing drop kit installed. Changing the pinion angles all around (up/down - I have 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 shims), has never made the vibration go away. At higher speeds, I don't notice any vibration.

Since it goes away in 4WD, I'm wondering if the front needle bearing is somehow causing that shudder/vibration feeling. Any thoughts? Mileage is 39k.

 

Have 2 inch, full length add a leaf. Had the 3 leaf and it did not cut it, much happier with the single.

This is normal 0-5 empty, sits more level than the pic looks just a tiny rake.
