Toyota suspension lift

They look just like the Tundra factory lift shocks which are 5100s and also 46mm.

 

Thanks.

 

I bought aftermarket vintage grill/garnish...

Only needed the 2" Front/Rear Shocks, 1" Blocks, U-Bolts and a small bracket to relocate the brake line.

That's why I called it: TRD Suspension Upgrade (Rounded up about $850)

I paid $1500 for Labor/Install...used my Bonus Check from work to pay for that!

 

I was doing a little more research and discovered the lift is actually installed at the port.

Yes, it is a port installed item. Which really make no sense since you would think it would be better to install at the factory.

 

If the factory does the Pro suspension, it would seem to be a viable option for other trims. It seems downright silly to build an off-road with the default suspension at the factory, then rip and replace with the lift option at the port.

 

I read somewhere that Pros and Trail Hunters got all of their "special" parts added post production. Maybe the robots aren't trained to handle the different components. Makes sense sense since combined they are less than 2% of production. Supposedly still done onsite, but after VIN is issued and off the main assembly line. Post production options (PPO) include bed scene lighting, spray-on bedliner, etc . I think it is just the more mundane items like side steps, tonneau covers, and console safes that are added at the port (or dealer).

 

The factory lift kit is being done at the port, so why not do the same for Pros and TH.

 

Maybe we should stop calling it the "factory" lift?
