    For a 2019 Trd pro fox suspension and rear leafs with a little over 18k on them. I noticed he had roof rack bed rack rtt metal bumpers and all so probably some off roading are they worth 1600 dollars? Was going to throw them on my 2015

    I installed a 2019 TRD stock suspension including leaf springs on my 2015 TRD. For a little for lift in the front a also added 1/4 spacers. i gained 1.5” of lift in the front and just 1/4” in the rear, my old leaf springs were a little worn. It looks level now unloaded and the ride is so much better.

    The front rides firmer, but its way more controlled and I feel it’s more comfortable. No more dive when braking and I can corner faster now. Thanks to everyone who posted this mod, a great budget upgrade!

    I have a set of 2020 trd off roads Front strut/shocks and rear shocks with like 50 miles on them. Have a 1.5 inch add a leaf coming in also. Super excited to see how it looks on my 2012 regular cab 4x4. Just got new wheels and tires, a 1-2 inch lift from these 3rd gens suspension from my current factory High mileage base suspension should be an awesome improvement all around.

    hell even if no lift I’m due for a change of suspension.

    Just added 3rd gen off road bilstiens front and rear on a 4cylinder regular cab 4x4 with 192k miles. The ride and handling is so much better after a very quick drive with the same route as a drive prior to the change. With factory size tires, it sits 35.5” ground to fender in front and 36.5” in back with the 3+1 style factory leafs changed in the rear due to the spring recall. 4200CD22-302C-4176-9CF9-C2A6BBA70C67.jpg

    Nice looks great! I’m pretty excited to do this myself on mine. Great looking truck especially with those miles, I love the red with black fenders on the 4x4s. Just put some 265s on my single cab. No rubbing unless I back up and turn fully and the rubbing is on the little mud flap under the front bumper. Hoping to get about an inch or more otherwise I’ll just pop those front flaps off.

    It’ll be my daughters truck next spring when she gets her license. I’m having her help me work on it to get some knowledge. I bought it from my dad last month. She’s always loved his little old truck. It’s nice and has fairly new highway tires, so no upgrade there until she wears them out. I’ll change out fluids all around (Never done!) and hopefully, it’ll be good to go for a long time for her.

    Nice!! I have my daughter help me too so she can have some knowledge about the truck that'll eventually be hers when she starts driving. She's no were close to start driving but its hers when she's ready.

    3rd gen suspension along with 3rd gen leafs. Added a 1/4 headstrong front spacer and 1/2 toytec flat shim on the back. Total 1.5in front lift and 1in rear lift. Love how it looks and rides.

    That’s awesome man! Be a great first vehicle for her. neat to hear you guys include your daughters in maintenance. I’ve done that for years with mine as well. We have 4 box trucks I always have her help me change the oil and fluids in. Do sensor changes whatnots. They are all GM 6.0s so they have no shortage of sensor and electrical maintenance lol. I always joke with my wife that she’ll intimidate the hell out of the boys in the future when they break down and she’s the one looking under the hood lol.

    Can anyone tell me when Toyota switched the TRD PRO suspension from Bilstein to Fox? Am I understanding correctly that the TRD PRO has had both in the past?

    Put mine on today from a 2020 with 25 miles on them.

    leveled it out, added about 1.75 in to the front and maybe .75in to the back


    Rides so much better than the factory ones that were on there

    Will the factory coils from a 2015 Sport fit on the shocks from a 2018 OR? Just looking to replace the shocks, not the coils, not looking for any lift...low mileage 2015 Sport.
