Bought TRD PRO FOX shocks from TW member

Truck looks pretty clean below, how many miles on truck? Location?

 

Thanks ....
I bought it just over a year ago ... Just over 15K miles from SoCal

 

My local Toyota Dealership. They gave me a pretty decent discount but they were still very pricey.

 

When you do the fronts can you post a step by step guide. I assume there is alot more to changing the fronts out.

 

I’m probably just gonna have the dealership install them tomorrow ... I have an appointment tomorrow morning to have a couple of warranty issues looked at. Passenger seat rattle and “leaking” rear diff.


Otherwise I’d happy to share a step by step install.

 

Had the same issue. Got it done about 6mos ago. No more leaks.
Have you noticed and improvement with the rears.

 

Good to know! As far as the improvement goes, I think so ... I’ll need to put more miles on it to tell for sure but on the way to work this morning, a normally “ripply” section of road with the OR rears was not “ripply” on the Fox’s.

 

Nice!

 

Did you get the fronts done? Please give evaluation.

 

Little snafu with the differential “leak” warranty repair. Bottom line I won’t have it back until Friday at the earliest (waiting for parts). It looks great with the new shocks though.

 

My TRD Pro Fox suspension is frickin amazing. It floats over bumps like they aren’t even there. It’s a softer ride, very similar to a 2nd generation Ford Raptor that I test drove. It’s not the recommended suspension setup if you plan on towing anything. Like the Raptor it will sag pretty easily in the rear.

 

Got a chance to finally take it for a spin with the new shocks. Definitely an improvement! A couple observations so far ... The jarring bumps on my daily commute are noticeably less jarring and the front end doesn’t dive on braking like it used to. I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a night and day difference but so far so good!

 

Really liking the new setup far ... it just soaks up the bigger bumps so nicely! It’s only a one inch lift but at least it puts my pro grille at the proper height.

 

Really looking for

Really looking forward to putting mine on but won't be able to for about a month or so... Traveling for business, remodeling home, all my time is spoken for...

By the way does anybody know if the leaf springs are the same on PRO as the TRD OR DCLB
Wa to putting mine on. I am just too damn busy... Had the hurricane blow by a few weeks ago, remodeling next house and wife wants to move soon, and in the middle of all of that I have to travel on business for a few weeks. So not time to get mine mounted.

Btw, does anybody know are the leaf springs same on a Pro as TRD DCLB?

 

I had my parts guy confirm, different part numbers and about $500 per side for new. They are supposedly firmer but couldn’t confirm if they lift any. I’m fine with having my OR rear leafs and the stance is just about perfect for me, the rear sits about 1/2” higher than the front. BTW, the pro also has a different sway bar in front ... 30mm vs the OR’s 28mm.

 

More impressions ... (still haven’t had the chance to OR it yet) on my daily drive there is a very large dip on one of the roads that pretty much everyone has to slow way down to about 10 mph (the asphalt is full of scrapes from everyone bottoming out) except me I can hit that sucker at 45 (the speed limit) no problem! Even the OR suspension had a rough time of it but not with the Pro. One of these days I might need to test drive a pro to see if it feels any different (SB vs LB)

 

Looks good!

 

Any updates?

 

I had to put off my install until now, nearly a year since I bought them. Now the truck is in the shop for the fuel pump recall, leaking 3rd brake light (full teardown of interior removal and replacement of carpets and sound deadening materials and such to mitigate mold, toyota covering) new tires and 45k service. Looking forward to getting the truck back. They have had it for two weeks.

 

That sucks man, glad they are taking care of it for you
