(SOLD OUT) Discounted Price on TRD Pro Suspension Kit

Why change from kings? I do have a set sitting around in the garage that I’m undecided on installing at the moment.

 

Ehh. Just spent a ton of money on the kit and I think it waybiverkill for my needs

 

Same. I'm pleased with both the look and the ride.

 

When sitting on level ground, do you clearly see some rake or does it look level?

 

Mine looks level with a single AAL on the back,but measures 1 lower in the front which is perfect.

 

I'd like the appearance of some rake. Sounds like the Icon AAL + overload is the ticket.

 

Without the overload I was sitting at 1/2" rake and now with the overload in I'm sitting at 1" rake. I forgot to mention that both left and right front shocks have the headstrong 1/4" spacer. So it adds 1/2" lift to the front. So technically without the spacers you should sit at 1 1/2" rake. Which is the stock rake

 

@NMTrailRider - You've been one of the more active people in this thread, when are you planning your install?

 

Oh, man. I just can't decide what I want to do. I really want to go with a full leaf pack. Once and done. But I'm afraid of ending up with too much rake leaving the overload in. And I don't want to take the overload out and lose carrying capacity in the bed. I can't seem to find a full pack that hits the sweet spot (and I'm not interested in the front spacers).

I'd maybe do the AAL if I could maintain the full 1.75" factory rake.

 

I wonder if without the front spacers (and the front .5" lower) the rear would sit at 1.75" rake. Seems rather likely that the rear might pop up a quarter inch when the front goes down a half.

 

I've been meaning to take my front 1/4" spacers out because I think it's not enough of a rake as factory as it sits with them now. I feel like with the AAL+OL lift and this kit, an 1/8" spacer would be the most ideal to give both the front and back the same amount of lift "on paper".

 

I hear ya. I was in the same position and finally decided on the HS 3 leaf progressive. I'm happy with my decision and figure I'll replace the entire leaf pack someday if/when it becomes necessary. I'll try to get a pic of how mine is sitting now. I think I had a little weight in the bed in my previous pics for winter traction. Bed is empty now.

 

One more photo to help others decide. I just took this photo on almost-level ground with the image leveled at the bottom of the tires as good as possible from an iPhone. Specs are a 2010 V6 4x4 with the TRD pro kit installed, a 4-leaf TSB pack in the rear with the overload removed and an Icon 3 leaf AAL. 6 total leaves. The TSB pack has an estimated 30k miles on it.


Measurements show 1” rake; 22.5” front, 23.5” rear, center of wheel to fender. I don’t tow, or have a camper shell, and I don’t haul full bed loads regularly, so I’m fine with this rake. But I’d be just as fine with another 1/2” of rake from my overload leaf, which would have basically been a spacer, since it was flat and wasn’t adding anything to the arch anyway. Hope it helps someone.

 

Thanks guys. This does help in narrowing down options.

 

Definitely can see a little rake there.

 

The angles aren't the greatest, but this is all I've got right now. I'll try to take a side view tomorrow.

 

Here you go. About 1.25" rake. No spacers and General Springs HD leaf pack. I'm very pleased with this kit.

 

Looks awesome! So, that's the pro kit (with no top spacers) + general springs full pack?

What's your impression of the ride on the springs? (Sorry if you've already shared)

Edit: never mind. I found your previous post.

 

I would describe the overall ride as much more "sure-footed". My improvement over stock is significant.

 

Was it the "HD" pack?
