TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

No problem, I wanted a true 33". I believe the Yokohama G003 was the tallest option at 33.2" and also only weighing 60lbs.

 

I noticed that as well. They are very tall. Most of the others are less than 33. The XLT's are around 32.5"

 

You know we dont mess around about dat H2O! Gotta have tryouts playa.

 

@RyanL tag ur it

 

Are you regeared?

 

Hankook Mt's 295/75/16, supposedly 34"x12"

Not yet, I eventually want to go 4.56 though.

 

Who me? just a benchwarmer in it for the post-game juice & fruit snacks

 

I love this thread

 

Anyone know where I can purchase 2° steel shims? I’m having trouble finding these

 

I’m afraid of the slotted ones:

Alright been lurking here for a couple months now but finally finished this thread haha got sidetracked every once in a while by other threads but you guys were the main influencers on me buying my 2013 tx Baja and I’m more than happy with it! A lot of good info in here!

 

Kicked Moab’s ass the second weekend after I got it, funny how many people were surprised that it was stock.

 

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club!

 

Finally found some from Warrior Products:

I am looking at adding the two components to my 2014 Baja. Stock suspension still right around 80,000 miles. Rear end seems saggy want to do the AAL listed below don't want to be raked forward that's why I want to add the spacer listed below upfront. Looking for input on this....somewhat a newbie been timid to touch much with the truck since I bought it.

Thanks
AAL: Spacer:

 

If you want add the 1” up front......I’d go with a progressive AAL. Wheelers or Icon. Also leave the overload spring IN. This should leave you level.
You won’t be raised that high with just adding that single leaf. Also the progressive AAL is much beefier than just that leaf. Our springs suck and this helps them out tremendously.

I added 1/4” top plates to mine which raised the front 1/2”....I did an Icon progressive AAL with the overload spring OUT. This left me level, my whole truck as a whole is just a little lower than the setup above. I am considering putting the overload in on mine for the rake though....

Hope this helps. Either one above will yield you a great setup.

 

I have the AAL w/overload in and 1/4 top plate spacer (adds 1/2" lift) which leaves me with a small rake.

I plan to go to the 1" BAJA seat spacer to level out.

With 80K on the stock suspension, I would suggest replacing the springs when you do the BAJA spring seat spacer due to the added tension on old springs. Some of us, myself included, have had the springs crack without any spacers. So I would be worried about the added tension when re-using the old springs. Just get new springs.

EDIT: @JuanitoBunito beat me to the response but agree 100%

 

What's the most cost effective way to replacement the shocks on our trucks while maintaining stock performance or better? Now that they don't make the OEM set anymore, and I don't race my truck so something like King's seems overkill with super high price. Appreciate any input!

 

Look in the for sale section. You can still find our setup for sale. I think there is one now for sale. Also you can buy someone’s gently used kings, fox’s, or icons. If you want better than oem, that’s the only way to go.....just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. My truck has just a hair over 50k miles on it so I'm good for a while, mostly curious for the future. Would be a real pain to have to spend $4k to keep 2.5" front and remote shocks in the back. Maybe Bilstein will come out with something I can use.
