How to lift a TRD PRO (a bit) w/ stock suspension

Kinda reposts from earlier in the thread but highly recommend wescott in the front, RXT option 1 no weight in the rear or option 3 with really any weight in the rear.


If you plan on a shell, bumper or rack and tent I would just go straight to option 3, if it's too much rake just throw 2 sand bags in the bed. It feels better than stock.

The weight I have definitely isn't a better ride than stock, haha, but I did everything in steps so I could figure out what each component did before and after.

 

Westcott front preload collar, Icon RXT Option 2, and BFG K02 285/75R16. Also has a ARE CX Evolve and UpTop Overland Bravo racks.

Lifted and new shoes. Finally!

 

That looks awesome! How do the stage 3’s ride?

 

Anybody have any alignment issues after installing your Westcott lift on your TRD Pro?

I love the lift. I had the truck aligned but currently has a visible camber issue. Taking it back to the alignment shop.

Did anybody install an aftermarket UCA with their Westcott lift ?

 

Visually I do not have a camber issue. Well, let’s just say my alignment guy said he couldn’t get it exactly where he wanted to set it but it’s close. I did feel that the truck tracked pretty badly on worn in roads but on good streets it’s fine. I’m monitoring my tires right now and everything seems ok. More than likely I’ll swap out my Upper Control arms when I put together the funds to make sure everything is dialed in. My alignment guy said there’s no way to get into proper spec with the Westcott lift on the stock Fox coil overs. Now it’s just a matter of what UCA’s to go with since they are all in the 5-600 range plus another alignment fee.

 

Hey Guys, I have a question for all of you that have lifted your trucks with the Fox Pro shocks. I bought a pre-owned set of Fox Pro shocks from a guy locally. It looks like it already has a spacer on the top hat of the coilover. Not sure if it should come that way from the factory. Can anyone confirm? Pics attached. Also it looks to be made of a hard nylon type of material. I wanted to buy the headstrong spacer mentioned in a few posts prior but will this spacer (if it is one) work okay?
Thanks!

 

is it possible it already had the wescott lift installed on it?

 

The bottom seat has the factory part numbers on them so I don’t think so. I wish!

 

Does the Westcott lift have those nylon spacers?

 

Here is my 2017 with Wescott. Both top and bottom are Aluminum.

 

No. Metal

 

Those are exactly the compressors they use to do UTV race coils, been really interested in this.
They worked good, huh ?

 

Like I said, if the applications allows for them, they are my go to compressors. Haven't had any issues.

 

Do you have a link to these on Amazon? I can’t find those for $29.

Any folks here running the Westcott kit in the front with a bumper/winch? Or would the additional weight potentially cause some issues with this kit?

 

I have it with an aluminum CBI T3 and warn 10k S winch without issues. If it drooped at all, maybe 1/4" but I don't think it did. 110 lbs or so could be the difference in weight of 2 passengers easily... So idk, YMMV but doesn't feel any different to me.
