Toyota TRD OEM lift kit

1900$

 

I find the ride of the TRD kit as installed FAR better! The ride is feel is less mushy and more Spritely… it’s not all out harsh but more confidently firm.

With the levelling and probably the new shocks the brake dive is gone. Cornering feels better and all around drive is nicer on road.

on FSR terrain it’s bit more firm again but it doesn’t feel like a typewriter, the tuning seems pretty spot on. IMO

 

The ride is the same or better. Brake dive in the front is reduced.

 

ehhh … i know icon aal is nice for this setup and all … but i dont want the toyota people bitching about the lift when they have to do the needle bearings … i could always do the leafs later on down the road

 

you cannot get the actual blocks unless you buy the entire kit. they dont come with the shocks.
I did the middle setting of 1.5" in the front and did a 1" rear block and I have about 3/4" of rake

 

is there a question in this comment? Haha. You asked if the shocks come with the block and I said no.

 

You need to get the front + rear shocks part numbers and the hardware kit. No need to get the grill if you do not want to and I believe you would save about $300.

 

Lol no, wasnt a question … thanks for filling me in on the blocks though … i tried looking for a separate part number on the blocks and didnt find one. I think the game plan here is going to be order the front and rear shocks … let the dealer install them on the lowest front setting and no blocks in rear to bring up my front sag. Drive it around for a couple months to ease the needle bearings into a lift and then get AAL

 

I have 265/75/16 which is comparable with your 265/70/17's. I have 2" in front & 1" rear block. There is no rake, it is equal 37" all around. Technically, you should get that 1/2" lowered rake you are looking for.

 

Can you post the part number on the e-brake spacer? Looks like they didn’t install mine and I’d like to have it right. Thanks.

 

I don't have that part number... as they only gave me back the boxes for the grille and Shocks

 

OK. Thanks! I was hoping it was printed on top of the spacer.

 

Check back on page 75 of this thread

 

Awesome - thanks!

 

Yes sir they did. They quoted me $1450 for lift and $650 install plus tax, which was $2304.xx. But when I dropped it off, they tried to tell my it was gonna be $2600 plus tax. I argued with him for a few minutes and told him to stop the install. They magically upheld the original quote price.

 

Hmmm that's a lil shitty. Maybe I'll just stick with OME from AVO.

 

Im in CT. what shop was that?

 

I’d like to know as well for future projects.

 

$275 for install of both front and rear shocks, blocks and an alignment? A decent alignment is normally about $100… so all that labor was $175? If you got that deal you must have sold your first born haha. That’s at least 3.5 hours of work and I don’t know a single legit shop that works for less than almost double that. Good find if it’s true!

 

Yes, yes it was. Lol . Thats why I had them do it vs DIY . All I did myself was add Timbrens.
They may have felt bad for not giving me my old cats back when they did my new manifolds on my other ‘09 OR last winter . LOL
