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

Truck looks good. How do you like the tires? I have been eyeing them in the 285/75/16 size with the C load rating.

 

I have the Baja kit (PTR13-35120) and it has a 650lb spring on it. I thought it was going to be really stiff but I really like it. It's definitely stiffer but a lot smoother and there is hardly any nose dive when braking. It's more planted in the turns too. I have the stock predator steps, the stock tonneu cover, Pro skid and aluminum Pelfreybilt mid skid to give you an idea of how much extra weight I have. With a 1/4 inch spacer up front I got about 1.5 - 1.75 inches of lift up front. I'm swapping the 1/4 for a 1/2 to put me right at about 2 inches up front match the rear. I have a Toytec (Deaver) 3 leaf add a leaf in the rear with the overload and I got just over 2 inches in the rear. Not sure how much different the shocks are and the ride is but I'm really happy with my setup.

 

Nice...
Did u put a rear AAL or block? 2"?

 

HS AAL and left the OL on, got about 2”....didn’t really take before and after measurements

 

Been wondering I have 1.5" block that I am about to install if I needed to install spacer also

 

Tires have been great for me so far, about 10k on them. Have a pretty good hum on the highway but they ride smooth. Haven't seen any heavy mud with em.

 

You may be okay with 1.5” but everyone’s truck seems to react differently with the suspension changes so there’s no telling until you install it. The carrier drop kit takes literally 5 minutes to do, so it’s no biggie to do it after.
I also had the factory axle shim that I left in place and I believe that also plays into the angles being off. My vibes are 95% gone after CB kit I’m still thinking about removing or flipping the axle shim to see if that fines tunes the angles.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

No problem glad I could help.

 

Little comparison for yah. TRD Pro suspension with 1/4 HS top plate spacer and a 2 inch add a leaf in the rear. Tires are 275's Cooper MAXX ST's

 

After installing my lift w/1/2” Headstrong spacers I didn’t get the lift I expected. So I installed 1-1/8” top spacers and ended up at 22-3/4” DS & 23” PS HTF which I was satisfied with. So after finally receiving my SCS wheels I got an alignment.
After alignment I’m at 23-3/4” HTF DS & PS I didn’t realize alignment makes such a difference in ride height. Now I’m concerned about my cv angles. I hope to get my wheels and new tires installed this week and wait to see if it settles some after driving awhile.

 

are these still in stock any where? looking for a set right now

 

Installed with 1/4 spacer, jba uca, 1.5 wheelers aal + ubolt flip and superbumps all around. Alignment in the AM. Happy with how it turned out. 2" all the way around, exact measurements side to side currently. Random pics for now... didnt make it to the skiders yet ha and still need to reroute the ebrake cable

 

Sorry, highly unlikely. Maybe someone selling a kit might turn up. Try ebay and keep an eye out here in the marketplace. But if they do appear, they go exceptionally quickly. A dealer somewhere MIGHT have one hanging around but that is the proverbial needle in a haystack.

 

i actually just found a kit from don mcgill in houston!

it was $611 shipped

hopefully they dont call me and tell me the same thing you just said

thanks for the help!

 

Score! Hopefully it comes through. When availability dried up there were a couple parts suppliers that were still taking orders expecting they might be able to fill them as they were expecting a shipment from Toyota that unfortunately did not come. Did they actually have a kit in stock? Or were they ordering it from Toyota?

 

What rock sliders & bumpstops are those?

 

My Wheeler’s 3-leaf AAL and OME CB spacers showed up today. ECGS bushing and tools arrive Friday. Planning to install in next 2-3 weeks. Freaked out about vibes and other issues. What else am I missing? Want to be proactive and avoid issues. Love my smooth ride and don’t want to spend my next 2 months chasing issues. Just want my subtle lift and maintain my headache free ride.

 

Damn just called in and they gotta "order" it

 

Sell your ECGS tools after installing them...
