    Hey all,

    I’ve got a line on all four shocks removed from a 2017 TRD OR. What, if any, difference between stock shocks on 2017 OR and 2016 Sport? Seller states they have less than 100 miles on them because he built up suspension as soon as he bought it. I am installing 2.5” front and 1.5” rear supreme suspension kit this week.

    Thanks for any info!

    Sport shocks are quite stiff. Great for curvy highways, i feel like im in a sports car sometimes.

    Doesnt do so well off road, gotta go slow bumpy roads.

    So I just want to understand all the details here. You are installing a spacer style lift and are wondering about also installing OR shocks in place of your Sport shocks. Yes you can do it and yes there will be a difference valving between the shocks. If you are doing a budget build then go for it if it's a good deal but new Bilstien 5100's are responsibly priced too. So you might want to look at those as an option too. They would also be an improvement over the stock shocks.

    Please listen from a guy that had I repeat had a spacer lift. Got rid of it and went a way better set up. Get the Bilstein 5100’s front adjustable and rear shocks. Definitely a great set up. Great priced and is solid for light off-roading camping Etc... Will not disappoint.
    Good Luck

    I really liked my stock off-road’s ride in the rough stuff. Hilarious brake dive on the highway though.
