How to lift a TRD PRO (a bit) w/ stock suspension

No, not a lot stiffer. Can I tell a difference on road - slightly, mostly in the rear. Off road (only done mild shit so far) I have not noticed a difference from stock. Theres not a ton of challenging trails in my area so I can't say for certain yet if this set up will hold up, but for what I am doing 90% of the time it's going to work fine

 

That makes sense. I would expect the rear to be stiffer for sure with the extra leaf. Did you do the diff drop or anything else like needle bearing or new UCAs? I love the look of your truck. That's exactly what I want.

 

Thanks I appreciate it, I have not done anything extra yet. Just bought 427ap on Amazon and had local shop install with my new wheels/tires. No rub, no trimming or cmc needed (yet), good to go for now

 

For everyone on the 427AP kit, did you guys get any bit of rake back with the aal?

 

yes you’ll still have some rake, just not as much as factory (which i preferred)

 

Appreciate it. I’m kinda leaning towards a full leaf replacement in the back for 2 inches of lift, then something similar to the revtek up front, I’d prefer a top plate spacer if I can find one that’ll work with our trucks. Just trying to get a little more rake than it came with from the factory.

 

A question for the guys running the revtek strut spacer on Fox TRD pro coilovers.

Are you running the stock UCA without issue?

 

I currently am, but will most likely be upgrading UCA sooner rather than later

 

@oranjish why sooner than later....is there an issue as a result of the RevTek?

 

No I have not had any issues. I just plan to upgrade UCA and possibly bump stops for good measure

 

Can anyone tell me what all is included with the revtek kit? I’ve looked online and can’t really get a good description anywhere. I know there’s an aal, and the coil spacers, but curious as to what else it comes with? Diff drop, skid drop? Also did you guys end up installing everything, or were you able to get away without?

 

I will be installing the revtec kit this coming week on my pro will post pics of install when complete.

 

Hope everyone had a good long weekend. I took advantage of discount tires' memorial day promo and put some 33" BFG T/A KO2 (https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/bfgoodrich-all-terrain-t-a-ko2-dt/p/37549) and figured now was a good time to show the before an after pics (sorry in advance for the second pic with the sun blowout) with the Supreme 2" spacer (https://supremesuspensions.com/coll...nsion-lift-kit-2wd-4wd?variant=21410364129360) and AAL (https://supremesuspensions.com/coll...eling-lift-kit-2wd-4wd?variant=21391318155344).

For what it's worth I PM'd a lot of people who went with the Revtek route and got about an 80/20 ratio who said they were 100% happy with it compared to the few who said the ride was noticeably harder. After speaking with @Speed Freek I decided to go with top-hat spacers instead of the Revtek's preloaded spacers. I obviously can't speak on the Revetek set up, and most people who went that way seem happy with it, but I haven't noticed a difference in ride.

With the tires, I definitely have noticed a drop off of ~2 MPG, I don't know the delta for sure as I haven't re-calibrated the truck's CPU for the larger tire diameter nor have I had them for too long.

Hope this helps anybody on the fence, but the lift itself was noticeable and only enhanced by the larger tires.

PS... shout out to @Speed Freek for the Supreme spacer, Supreme AAL, diff kit, and ECGS bushing install! He lived up to his much hyped and highly recommended reputation, the guy is the man!

 

Looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. I've been eyeballing the Revtek set up for awhile but leaning toward your approach for the same reasons you described. Do you have links for the diff kit and ECGS (sorry, i'm a newbie)? Did you do it yourself? If so time? If not, cost (and time)?

 

Not a problem, I'm definitely a newbie here my self and appreciate everyone's input... here are the links:

Nice!! What size tires? Thoughts on ride, performance etc?

 

Thank you.... 265/70R17. The ride feels good, you can feel it is a little stiffer but feels fine to me.

 

When adding spacers to the trd pro fox shocks how are you guys setting up the bumps so the shocks are not the first thing to bottom out? Also how are your upper control arms not hitting the coils when at full droop? I pulled my pro shocks apart and bumped the shock then added duro bumps with a 1/4 spacer so the shocks don’t bottom out first. My upper control arms also touch the coil springs on both sides at full droop. This is 1/2 spacer on the pro shocks and icon 1.5” add a leaf in back.

 

Great set up! If only this was the stance that came from the factory.
