(SOLD OUT) Discounted Price on TRD Pro Suspension Kit

I used the Headstrong 1/4 inch spacer.

 

I used the 1/4 top plate spacer which gives you approx. 1/2 inch lift.
Thinking about swapping it for the Baja 1 inch spring seat spacer

 

I did the Headstrong 1/4" spacers but I'm planning on taking them out. It's fine without anything in the bed, but with all the camping gear in the back, it gets a bit of a squatty rear.

 

Hi guys need to ask a question. I installed a pro kit on my prerunner. I know overkill but mainly because I found cheap deal on a used set instead of using 5100's.
Installed it today and its nose high... a lot. 23" frt center hub and 21" rear center hub. I thought it would level out like everyone was stating but I think I forgot to account my missing frt diff, axles and transfer case. Is this why I am so bro lean right now?

 

I test drove a couple of Baja TX Pros when I was shopping around and they both had the bro lean going on. I think this setup as it is stock just levels the truck and after the rear wears, the lean starts showing more. Keeping this in mind, I added the 3 leaf AAL when I did this kit. I'm sure the weight you're missing up front also contributes to more bro lean.

 

I didnt use one ,and ended up not needing a spacer,truck is level.

 

I installed a fresh OEM leaf pack with an AAL when I put the kit in and after a year it's sagging so it's now level. Had a nice 2" rake before.

 

What Brand AAL do you have?

 

Trail Gear maybe? I can't remember. It's a single AAL that you install into the pack. I did the entire suspension for almost exactly $1000 Canadian in parts ($750 US) and the labor was done by me. I am a very cheap person.

If I could do it again I would just get a Dakar pack for the rear.

 

Still loving this set up, but getting a good alignment has been a pain. I’m in spec, but not the best numbers. Installing new UCAs this weekend.

ALL, what ideal alignment specs have you been shooting for with this kit?

I am leaning towards 0 or slight negative camber, ~2.5 caster

 

Planning on installing my kit soon, been sitting on it for a while. How long did you guys let everything settle prior to getting an alignment? Is it necessary to wait

 

Ideally, I would do alignment with install and then again after a reasonable break-in period. Definitely do one with or after install for your safety.

Also, following up on my above post, I got SPC UCAs and WOW it made such a huge difference in getting good alignment stats/ride quality. Don’t cheap out like I did.

Important to acknowledge i may have gotten more lift than others report, but upgrading from stock UCAs was a night and day difference and I’m not OCD about ride quality (it’s a truck!)

 

As stated above get an alignment right after your lift is installed. The place I went to warrantied my alignment for 3 months. After 2 1/2-3 mouths I went back and they tweaked it. At that point everything seemed to have settle. I ended up get 2 alignments for the price of one.

 

Pretty Decent for the Shop to play ball like that. Sounds like they strive to get it right & keep customers not like the "good as we can get it", then punt you out the door.

 

They were great I explained to the manager I just put a lift in and he hooked me up. Town Fair Tire is where I went

 

I got it good. Can't complain. I use a rural shop so I show up around lunchtime, give the Shop guy $20 & tell 'em to go for lunch. When he returns i'm usually done so no bitchin if it got done right as i'm the one doin' it.

 

That's awesome !, I have access to a lift but dont know anyone with an alignment machine.

 

Just a quick question for those that have been rocking this suspension for a while...is the taco lean still present? I'm about to install mine and wondering if i should add a 1/4" spacer on the driver side.

 

It all depends on the actual Truck. The Kit somewhat compensates for that with drivers & passengers sides bein' different. Drive it. wait for things to settle, then decide for yourself. Some guys need it, some don't. Sorry, not much of an answer.
