    hey guys - thinking about updating my trd off road with Bilstein trd pro shocks from 2018. Can someone confirm this is the right part number: PTR1335150? If not, what is the part number?

    If these are them, do they also provide a 1” lift like the fox shocks? Any feedback on these?

    Looking to upgrade suspension, keep warranty and not spend $3k.

    Thanks as always!

    4 run, 2 don't
    Correct me if I'm wrong, you're trying to keep the warranty on your truck? Or buy suspension components that they themselves have warranty?

    I don't own a third gen, but what you're asking can apply to any newer vehicle; a dealership could deny you warranty for said suspension components simply because said items were not on the truck when initially built. Unless you go through a Toyota dealer, order from their parts catalog, and have them install it, I can't see a dealer wanting to warranty something you'd install (or a third party). I've read the threads on people being denied recall work because they had a TRD Pro grill installed on their non-Pro truck.

    Forget the warranty part; new suspension will have its own warranty. Figure out if all you really want is a 1" lift, or if you're looking to get a bit more (comfort off road, carrying a load, etc). and go from there.

    I was thinking Toyota part bought and installed from dealer should have to warranty issues. Plus, I like to keep it all Toyota.

    If this isn’t the 2018 trd pro part number, can you point me in the direction of which is?

    The 2018 Pro does not use Bilstein.
