    These were removed from a 2013 Tacoma baja edition. They are the same as the TRD pro. They come with 650lbs coils. They have 35k miles could use a rebuild, but still working fine
    Also with 1inch spacer.
    Asking $100 obo

    Those can't be rebuilt. At least not in an economical way, FYI

    What I read too. Remove the spacer and it'll ride much better. Also, why title it as TRD Pro? For more views?

    Yes but I didn’t mind the ride it wasn’t as bad as most people say. Why title it TRD pro because it’s the same exact suspension that came with the 2015 TRD pro. It’s known more then if I write baja edition.

    The Baja has stiffer springs than the Pro, though. I guess for the purchaser, they can remove the spacers for a smoother ride. Personally, I'm proud to have a Baja than the Pro lol. It's more of an exclusive edition since it was only released for the Tacoma's 2012-2014.

    Are you sure it was stiffer on the baja then the pro? from what I read it’s the same exact suspension. They just wanted to change to the name TRD pro, so they can bring up there off road line with Tacoma, 4 runner , and tundra, but Tacoma suspension stayed the same just withvw New name. I do know Tacoma came with 650 lbs and the 4 runners had 600lbs springs.

    I am happy to have a baja myself in my area I’m like one of two maybe that has a red baja around here. Everyone’s loves these gun Powder wheels that only came on these.

    You are correct about the Baja having 650lb springs in your original post. The TRD Pro's have 600lb springs. One of our gurus simplified the differences in the very last post of this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/trd-pro-vs-tx-baja-suspension.395153/

    And yes, everyone loves the anthracite wheels! Which was why I kept them after upping my tire sizes recently. Sorry to have strayed your sale thread away but $100 is a crazy deal for these even for 35k miles!

    Sorry forgot to respond. No, they don't make rebuild parts for these shocks, only the 7100 series and up. Also TRD doesn't have anything to do with the production. Eibach makes the springs and prints the TRD logo on.
    Good deal tho if they still got good compression and rebound but that's difficult to measure with the coil spring still on. It's easy on rear shocks...

    Well we learn something new every day. I wonder why then went lower rating on the pro.

    I was thinking to th trade mine up for some VTX wheels but with the same gunmetal color.
    Well these shocks are really not bad I’m sure someone needs better then what they are running. They are still holding up, but wanted my truck highr and remove the spacer is why I changed

    Well they do that on purpose so you can buy a new set with no option to rebuild. I actually went to the eibach warehouse and got a tour. it was pretty cool how the springs are made. They pretty much make most Springs that are out there.

    Compression on the shocks are still good. I have a metal plate front bumper and they are still holding up well. I only changed them because because I got extra money for some Kings haha
