Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

pro isnt level from factory,, 3/4 in rake.......

 

I think I miss spoke on his questions after rereading it again. The pro suspension levels out all other models, and adding these springs would lift the front another 1.25 inches resulting in a squat on all non-pro trucks with pro suspension. But Im pretty sure the pro is level to begin with (I dont have a pro) so adding 1.25 to the front will result in a squat on the pro, or if as your saying the pro has .75 rake, it would result in needing a .5 inch lift for the rear being needed to level it.

 

I hope it needs more than .5 inch, feel like that will be hard to achieve with leafs

 

Dont worry, a 1 inch lift in the back will make the pro sit just fine with these new springs. Ive only seen one person ever say the pro is not level. Every other person I have seen says the pro sits level.

 

Do a progressive aal without the overload leaf.....it’ll look good

 

my 2017 pro came with a 3/4 in rake.., i have since added 1 in rear block.. fox 0-3 RR. front shocks, raised the front close to 2 inches with the fox 0-3, now it sits level,, i kept the OEM UCA's, no alignment, 10,000 miles later, no tire wear, all is good.. i replaced the OEM fox shocks because at 36500 miles , just out of warrenty,, the drivers side spring rusted and broke, they are sitting in garage waiting to be sold or spring upgrade and then sold..

 

Ok so your pro had a rake, ive never seen or heard of another pro having a rake.

Good luck on the sale of your old fox shocks. I bet there would be a person that would buy as is to have a spare set to have rebuilt.

 

I keep seeing this argument here. Just to settle it for myself I measured my truck just now and there's a 1 and 7/8" rake.

 

Yeah I added 1/4" top plate spacers to the front soon after I installed skids and sliders.

 

1 7/8 rake? thats nearly 2 inches! Sounds more like there is a issue than anything else. Or perhaps since your truck is so new its waiting for the rear leafs to settle.

 

I measured a 1" rake on my 2020 before I added anything (measuring from the center of the wheel to the fender), although the top of my driveway isn't completely level so that could be off. I should really try and squeeze it into the garage and take my measurements there. If I think of it this weekend I'll take measurements on my driveway and then in the garage and see how they compare.

 

My measurement was quick and hasty on my driveway, but with that said I can't see any reason it would be wildly off. The truck doesn't appear like it has a dramatic rake so I was a little surprised to see such a difference. The truck is fully stock.

 

Could also depend on whether your fuel tank was empty or not, although I don't think that would have a huge impact.

 

We were finding a variance of about .25 - .5" of rake on the 20's we had in. But that visually looks pretty darn level.

We always encourage you guys to support the vendors on here who support this community first, they put a lot of effort into keeping everyone informed and having fun with their projects. These will be available from those vendors and Eibach directly.

We design our kits to work within the range of the OE UCA's so it's not mandatory for this kit, though having extra caster never hurts!

what @x503codyx said!

For accurate heights we measure from the center of the hub to the top of the fender. Or you can measure from the bottom lip of the wheel to the top of the fender. Measuring from the ground is inconsistent due to tire pressures, tire loads and ground irregularities.

 

Yeah, nearly 2 inch rake reported seems very wrong. I can see a .25 or .5 being very real.

 

I guess 1.75" increase in height would worry me that it moves the shock outside of the internal bypass valving, basically, adversely effecting the damping of the shock itself.

 

Point well taken. Remeasured from the center of the bottom lip of the wheel and I'm still getting nearly 1.5" of rake.

 

Gas tank was slam full when I took measurements this morning.

 

You probably still have the summer air in your headlights.

 

Did you take measurements from both sides? Where you are parked may look flat but I highly doubt it is, at least completely
