Suspension Travel

Will watch it

 

The best that can be done is a quarter-half inch. Not inches for sure. The most simplest concept is to simply draw a triangle on a piece of paper. Now, make one side of the triangle longer without moving the other two line angles.
Can't be done unless geometry changes and that involves cutting and moving.

 

8.5” front

11” rear…. For all Gen 3 Tacomas.

Amazing you actually asked the one correct question, unlike most of these nitwit just “lift it” , “ how much Lift”, “ what’s your flex“ , “ Distance to fender /lift” , clowns ask daily.

Most ppls minds will melt with that comment .
Also this causes great discomfort and confusion for the same clowns: Lift (or ride height) has nothing to do with tire clearance

 

All of this education is appreciated. Motor trends says the 2022 PRO has one more inch of rebound travel:

But based on this technical discussion I cannot figure out if the overall travel increased by an inch by changing the geometry of the suspension or if you lose 1” of travel the other way?

quote:

“The high-speed off-road-oriented truck receives new forged aluminum (and red anodized) front upper control arms, new front springs that increase ride height (now 1.5 inches taller than its counterparts), retuned Fox internal bypass shocks with about an inch of additional rebound travel”

 

You nailed it right there. Answered your own question

 

I see what you mean. I’d like to see it documented somewhere to confirm and I’ll keep looking. But what it sounds like is they shifted the truck’s suspension capability more to high speed than rock crawl.

 

WHOA WHOA WHOA

The numbers posted are NOT accurate.

The IFS front geometry only allows for a 5" shock stroke, while the rear only allows up to an 8" stroke

 

It always has been high speed... that is why they advertise the Pro for desert use.... the snorkel isn't for water crossings...

 

Yes, that’s what I’m saying — I mean from stock OR, the changes made are more high speed oriented

Also, I read the snorkel allows you to go totally under water

 

There is extra travel for the pro. Look up extended travel. Bilstein 5100 have more travel than standard offroad shocks.

 

The Pro doesn't use Bilstein shocks

 

I didn't say the pro had bilstein shocks. look up the pro shocks.

 

TRD PRO “snorkel” is called desert air intake, it’s not for water crossings.

 

I know. It was a joke, like when people say that stickers add horsepower etc lol

 

Right, but the shocks are not attached to the ends of the axles. Wheel travel is therefore more than shock stroke.

 

Thats not what OP asked though but the wheel travel variance is only applicable to the front at a 1:2

 

All I want to know and confirm is total travel in inches of the front and rear suspension, on an OR and a PRO. If they’re the same they’re the same, but just want to confirm. Cannot find any literature or specs on it. I will assume it’s the same based on the posts here and the explained physics / engineering but still would love to see it in black and white.

 

I don't want to believe the marketing is wrong, I just don't know the measurements of the '22 Pro front shocks. If they're like the Bilstien 5100s with a slightly longer shock body then you may have gotten a tiny bit of extra travel (from my understanding). My thinking is that the marketing people and journalists are just saying it's X amount lifted, therefore x amount extra travel.

But I would like to see a definitive answer.

 

No need to look them up they're on my truck

 

Where Ya located? We'll take em out there and test em out.
