    Mine is going on a year and ~20,000 miles. No issues, happy with it. Definitely a great deal as far as the original Toyota blowout for under $600. I’ve added skid plates and sliders since I got them so I’ve lost a little height. I will account for that with a 3/8” spacer on each side in a week or so. Currently have 1/4” spacers on both sides.

    Hi Guys, need to ask some TRD pro swap owners some advice.
    I have a DCSB and I have 5100's not installed yet. Came across a deal on a used set of TRD PRO shocks with about 20k miles. I live in South Florida so wheeling is not as extreme as the rest of the US. Is the TRD set worth getting, are they overkill or should I stick with the 5100's install them and shut up.
    Thanks

    I've never had 5100s, but I wouldn't go out of my way for the second gen pro set up. It's ok, but I can't see it being that much better than 5100s. Depending on price of course.

    I don't find the pro kit to be all that myself.

    Agreed. I’ve never used 5100s, but I’m not just blown away with the pro kit as others seem to be.

    Now don’t get me wrong, I feel I got what I paid for.

    In the near future I’ll be probably adding a AAL, and when the tires wear out will be moving up to 285’s!

    I just picked up a new kit myself, never used. Pretty excited to try it out.
    Yours looks darn level with this kit, considering you dont have an AAL or anything, correct?
    Happy to see that, as I dont want it raked, and would like to see how it does for a while before adding an AAL.
    Is the picture accurate as far as rake?
    Mine is an 18 trd sport 4x4.
