Pro suspension question

where did you get the 1/2¨ top plate and the 1/2¨ rear block?

 

I think I got the top plates from Wheelers, and the 1/2" shim my shop ordered for me.

 

thanks , got it!

 

Yeah you could do 3/8 if you wanted.

The tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 265/75/16.

 

thinking about getting the wheelers 1/2 top plate and their 1” block in the rear. From what I am reading that would equal a 1” lift front and rear. I’m trying to keep the factory rake or the factory pro rake that is. Does sound right?

 

Yeah that sounds right

 

I ended up going super conservative. Did 3/8” top plate and the same 1/2” shim you got. Plus the extended top plate studs w/ nylock bolts. I can always stack the front and put in a full 1” block later if I want

 

Sweet, post some pics after install so we can see

 

Just now realized that was your truck stock

 

So I recently did this to my truck as well and I have a question. After getting my alignment everything with the suspension is great, I just feel a big difference between my prior sport suspension and the pro. The steering feels a bit lighter and less planted. Is this to be expected? Is there something that I can check on it? I did a one for one replace of the front and rears, no leaf and no spacers or anything.

 

it might be just fine ... Have you driven or at least test driven a Pro or OR before? Did you do an alignment after the change? I have the OR and bought it over the Sport because of its “softer” ride. I also recently swapped out the stock Bilsteins for the pro fox’s and love the way it drives even more .... again feels like softer ride than the sport. I haven’t swapped out the leafs either and left my OR’s 28mm Swaybar.

 

I had a trd sport that I traded in for my pro and the suspension does feel way different. The pro is much more stiff due to the fox shocks. I wouldn't worry about it, the only thing I can think of is to check the alignment. Did you have a shop put the pro shocks on?

 

haha what the hell i did the same thing

 

I put them on myself with the Toyota specs for the TRD Pro add-ons. Found a manual from another thread that had all the torque specs. Got the alignment after I put the shocks on. I guess the steering feels a little more floaty. Still feels way better on bumps, just the feel of steering is different. May need a second look at the alignment I guess. Just took it to a random corporate shop near me to get it done...

 

that thing looks sick! Love the look!

 

Thanks brother

 

Interesting. I'm not sure what it would be. Did you change tire size?

 

Honestly, I would just go KINGS ;-)

 

It’s about to go down!

 

post up some before and afters
