Bilstein HD springs

 

There was member way back who used 700lb Eibach’s, but he had a steel bumper up front and wanted to retain the original lift. I wouldn’t imagine what that type of spring rate would be like on stock weight though lol

 

Toytec just came out with a replacement spring

 

I just did a wescott kit on my TRD pro foxs. LOVE IT!

 

Pics? Just the fronts?

 

I forgot to take some at the shop. I’ll do it tomorrow for ya. I had a 1/2” top plate and option 1 on my icon rxt’s
With the little more height in front I went to option 2. Now I’m sitting at 2.75” front and 2.5” rear

 

Thanks.

 

Yeah, I can only imagine how stiff that would be on my rig. Especially, an access cab

 

I did Wescott on my 2018 and loved it. I actually ordered their kit last week, but I won’t receive it until next week! It’s been in “processing” for three days!
I’m not one for patience....

Did you get the 1.5 lift or more?

 

Yeah the 1.5 lift. Mine took a couple weeks to get too

 

Ok, good to hear. Apparently, they don’t get in a hurry, LOL..

 

Here’s a pic

 

Looks good. Are those 285s, any rubbing?

 

Yup 285’s, I did a cmc but didn’t have to. I did it just for good measure. I did have to remove the mudflaps and do some very minor trimming to the thin plastic in the front lower wheel wells.

 

Gotcha! I’m using stock wheels, so I should be good.

 

I forgot to post the gem from Toquerville Falls on the way up to Moab.

 

Okay, trying to figure out what stock measurements are on the Pros and Baja’s.
I was reading that stock Tacomas (not pro/bajas) measure 20” from center hub to bottom of fender flare. My truck measured 23 on both sides. I know there is a 1” block in the back of my truck, now I’m wondering about the front?
Shouldn’t it measure 21.75” if it were stock on the Pro since other Tacomas are 20?

 

Stock measurements for the Baja/Pro are 22.75” on all 4 corners

 

Wow, that's higher than I expected. I guess my setup is sagging a lot more than I thought.

I just put Bilstein TRD Pro coilovers on my truck with a 3/8" thick spacer - so theoretically I should be at 23.5" with that setup. But, it's only measuring out at 22.25". Which means I'm losing 1.25" of height and that seems like a lot to lose with only front/mid skids and sliders.

I picked up some Bilstein TRD Baja springs and the special Toytec spacer which I plan to install at some point. Hopefully the higher spring rate helps out a bit but looking like 700lb springs may be in my future - especially if I end up getting a metal bumper.

 

I found those numbers from a long time ago and definitely believe that it’s taken straight from the lot before being put to use lol.

I’m thinking your measurements are a little lower because of the lighter spring rate from the Pro version(600lbs)?
