Lifting a 2018 TRD Pro

I cost me 800 since the truck was new and didnt really need much paint correction. Thats still fairly cheap . 5 year warranty, annual check ups, and reported to carfax

Thanks man. Suspension was about 4k total. Glad i have some type of mechanical skills because itll cost maybe 1k in labor to install at a shop if not more.

Now i average 15mpg but i only have 1500 miles on the truck

My last 17 offroad I averaged 18mpg with the same wheels and tires on this truck and 5100’s. But i had 20k miles on thag truck and it was broken in. Hope that helps!

Yeah i paid 800 since they didnt need much of a paint correction.. but yeah it does get pricy! No wonder people dont do this much... more for the wealthy that spent 100k plus on their car.. whats 1700. I have black so i had to do this to make my ocd more content

 

Love the Pro in Black. Great looking truck man! Congrats! Makes me want to swap out my suspension...

 

Also, what’s the specs on those wheels?

 

Thanks man. Wish i can keep the fox. All the pro needs is tires honestly. I have scs ray 10 wheels.. 17x8.5 with -10 offset

 

Nice truck! Wish I could have gotten your old rims from you!

 

Very Nice Truck. Haters will be haters, going to have them where ever you are. Shrug it off and go enjoy your truck.


Be Safe...

Nice! I recently searched all over hell for shear pins for my snow blower...found them at the third shop and bought extra sets, for which this is a handy compartment on top of the blower to store them in...when I opened it I already have 2 spare sets inside...kinda like dropping a wire connector and paying $130 to be informed...;-) The truck looks totally fucking awesome, I'm glad it worked out as I'm in the midst of having parts shipped for my lift this spring on a 2017 (pun intended).

 

Dude this truck is SWEET!!! I just bought my black PRO last Friday, and I've been looking at doing the SAME THING you did, and people are blasting me about it. LOL HATERS.

And I agree with all the stuff you said- I didn't buy the PRO just for the suspension.. there's SO much more to the truck than that. And if I lift it with good parts like you did, it will be just as good as before, just lifted!

Good job, OP!!

 

Absolutely great looking truck OP. Took my 18 Pro to the Lonestar Toyota Jamboree this past weekend and it performed like a CHAMP. Only significant hardware so far are KO'2 275/70/17's and N-Fab RKR rails (or rocker protectors... not a true slider). The Fox suspension actually performed very well and I am sure the Kings will too. Despite what some of the pro haters would like you to believe, the pro is an improvement on an already incredibly capable truck. For me, the extra money for the pro was well spent. Next will be a lift for me as well, although I haven't decided how I am going to go about that, so your info on the TSS and dealership was a great help to me. Thanks for taking the time.

Just one more thing, remember that a lot of the guys who will bust your balls on here have only ever been offroad if they accidentally backed across the corner of their yard getting out of the driveway. So take it with a grain of salt and enjoy that sweet ride.

 

By the way, I may need to look into that ceramic coating.

 

Sweet truck, got to giggle over that $150 TRD shift knob. and $500 TRD grille though. Don't take it personally.

 

Awesome truck and color.

 

One of my favorite trd pros on the site!

 

One of the reasons I bought a Pro is because I didn’t want the JBL system. I always do all JL Audio stuff, and I didn’t want to mess with factory integration and all that crap, and I didn’t want “JBL” stamps on my doors when I had JL Audio speakers in my doors.
I also didn’t want a sunroof. I’ve had issues with wind noise and rain leaks with mine in the past, and I’m perfectly happy with my electronic back window. I use it every day!
Love my Pro!

 

I love my Pro and i agree doesnt matter if we change suspension for lift. Its all about the look we may want also.

 

Nice truck do you!!
I'm almost done with mine. Fox w/res Deaver U402 leafs

 

OP, what size tires are those?

 

Beautiful Truck.

Go Hawks!

 

Thanks, Go Hawks!! we looked good yesterday
