Upgrading SR5 to OR suspension

Hi all - sorry to beat what's probably a dead-horse of a topic, but I can't seem to find my exact answers in past threads. I just bought a suspension setup removed from a new 2017 OR, to replace the crap on my 2016 SR5 DCLB. Is this purely bolt and play? Or are there other factors I didn't account for when I made this decision (like sway bar differences, etc).

Also, obviously the shocks are different between SR5 and OR - but what are the differences in the other components? What I bought includes UCA's, coils, leafs, all of it. Are those things the same that's already on my SR5? Or perhaps better, I'm hoping?

Thanks all!

 

Everything you have is bolt off / bolt on. The uca's are the same between all models an so are the coils . The OR shocks will be a little stiffer than the sr5 to help with dampening on rougher terrain. I am not sure if the leaf pack is different on spring rate or not. But even so it's a simple swap.

 

Pretty sure everything is exactly the same except shocks. I cannot speak for the SR5, but my Sport stock shocks are much firmer than the Off Road shocks. If I were you, i would visually check components and if the only difference is the shock then change the ahock and be done with it. Hope you got a good deal lol.

 

Thanks! Also are there any differences in the components based on wheelbase (access/double cab, short/long beds)? I wouldn't think so, but it seems like toyota has various part numbers for coils based on these things? Also they part list leafs as "standard" and "stiff" rides. But it doesn't really say which models have what. Confused.

 

fellow 3rd gen SR5 here. We have hitachi shocks while the off road comes with the dangerous and rugged Bilstein 4600’s or close. It’s plug and play. Take out your old shit and put in your new shit. No difference in wheelbase or LB/SB, it’s all the same springs and shocks. It’ll feel like a small step up in comfort and it will be. Sell the UCA’s and coils to someone for cheap and out that toward your next thing.

 

Was the OR a short bed? The front coils are 540lb coil on every model

 

Yes, the difference in part numbers account for the different spring rates that take into account each model's various weight. Double cab is heavy compared to Access cab.

 

The OR uses the yellow Bilstien shocks and have a different spring rate. Your SR5 uses the black Hitachi shocks. The Bilstiens will give you a slightly softer ride. The Sport uses the blue Hitachi shocks and will have a firmer ride. It all depends on how you use the truck for the right shock.

 

TRD OR coils are different than SR/5 and Sport coils, so you might as well swap out the entire strut assembly (i'm assuming they are still assembled). The OR uses a progressive spring rate coil while all other models use various spring rates, depending on model, and are linear rate coils. Like others mentioned, the UCA are the same between all models, so don't waste your time there. I am unsure if there is a difference at the rear leafs, but I'm sure someone else can chime in with accurate information.
