HUGE TRD PRO suspension SCORE!

Hello everyone! I’m needing a little of help & advice! Just purchased the TRD Pro Suspension yesterday! Two shocks up front & rear for $150! YES You read that right!
My truck is a 2018 TRD OR DCSB!

I do feel confident to swap it myself, but will take it to a shop for good measure. I have a few questions I hope some of you could answer. Or give me advice?

Can the suspension just be swapped?

Will I need longer break lines up front?

Will stock control arms need to be or are they HIGHLY recommended to be replaced?

I don’t do any crazy off roading, or crawling, just moderate trails!

Will I need to purchase new hardware? Or will existing hardware be fine?

& who has done it?


Anything else I should know?

Thank you all!

I know picture below only shows front, but have rears as well!

 

Longer break lines not needed. All stock stuff should be fine. Those shocks don’t have much travel so you aren’t extending anything.

I run extended shocks and the lines were just a smidge (and I mean stretching the line smidge) short at full droop



...how did you get those shocks so cheap? You weren’t by chance in a factory with all the workers dressed like Santa and his elves right?

(If you’ve seen the movie it probably makes more sense - they make knock off toys)

 

Awesome!

Shocks should swap right in. You could probably do it all yourself easy.

 

Good deal, I figured just wanted to get some opinions before I took it to the shop

 

Awesome deal , just did mine myself by unbolting uca ball joint & sway bar, easy and quick.

 

Direct swap, should be about a two beer job with how new and corrosion free the truck is.

 

Why and how so dam cheap , I paid 1400$ and was very happy with the price.

 

Caster camber was fine , mine needed a small toe adjustment.

 

Easy swap. The UCA's from the Pro are the same... only thing you'll need is the parking brake spacer for the passenger side.

Edit:


Did the swap myself. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

I did not follow the directions I did not touch the LCA, just the UCA ball joint, sway bar. Super easy 4 hours total front and back with a few beer breaks for pics.

 

Having done it both ways... I agree, disconnecting the UCA from the spindle was much easier.

 

Where did you guys find the parts so cheap? Im close to many yards but everything is an arm and a leg around me.

 

That’s how I felt for the longest, I saw a guy pull up to work in a TRD PRO & asked him if he had the OEM wheels and tires because that’s what I’m looking for, and he said no I sold the set for $400! Then he mentioned actually I have the PRO suspension and he said well I’ll take $150 for it! I said deal & he has ICON 6” with 35” so he had NO need for it it was just sitting there!

 

Thank you very much, might holler at you! How much of an improvement was the ride?

 

pretty funny, right place and time i guess. enjoy it. it's a nice kit for basic stuff, rides nice.

 

I have the rears installed. Luv them.

 

Pretty substantial. For $150... I don't think you'll find a better mod.

 

Handles much better , no brake dive and will actually corner now. More planted solid feel.

Negatives for me are these soak up larger bumps but you will still feel smaller bumps. And once you stop if you roll forward and brake again you get a little bounce or rocking, hard to explain.

I don’t regret doing it at all.
