Because Baja!

So it seems as though we can conclude that putting 884 coilsprings on bilstein 5100's set to zero is the cheapest and probably most similar feel to stock way to achieve 2" of lift in the front of a 2008 Access cab TRD Sport. Am I right?

I'm not going to sleep tonight until I figure out the answer to this question. I worked 14 hours today and have to again tomorrow guys. please help.

 

So the part number in bold is for 1x rear reservoir bracket? Just want to be clear before I order it all up and have to wait for more parts! Thanks in advance

 

Are you getting this shipped via USPS? I would be interested to know how much shipping and customs charges will end up being to Edmonton.

 

Just waiting to find out about that part and I'll let ya know.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

Yes that bar is for 1 bracket so you need to order 2 of them.

 

Roger thanks!

 

Well i ordered the kit piece by piece, wondering if i need 2 of the PTR13-35120-AA. The part number describes the spring as non plural so i am guessing i need 2 of them ?

 

Does anyone know what the extended length is on the front shocks for the Baja package? I am looking to add an UCA and a little more lift, just wondering if the front shock will support the extra travel.

 

Yes they can. I will be adding UCA and the new spring seat made by Toytec specifically for the Baja. In the rear I am adding the standard OME leaf springs and I should be 1" taller in the front and 2" taller in the rear.


This is what I am putting on next week.

Would these Baja springs when with 5100's?

 

Speaking of Toytec, I got the baja kit with the spacer from them and I notice this. anyone know if the spring seat is suppose to be offset? Also Can someone provide a picture and arrows pointing to where all the hardware kit parts is suppose to go?

 

I think its offset because of the taco lean. The more compressed side for the DVR side. Although the the part number should say which is which.

 

CORRECT ....as stated thats how mine looks even without the toytec spacer

 

So are the Toytec parts used in addition to the factory seats (stacked) or do they replace the seats shown in the above picture of the factory set-up? If used alone, are they different heights like the factory pieces, or will I get the Taco Lean back?

In an unrelated question, has anyone had their tires changed on the factory faux-lock wheels? Does the fake bead lock ring have to be removed before removal and installation of tires? I will likely not go to the dealer for me next set of tires, and don;t want to count on the tire store knowing what to do.

Thanks!

 

I've got the Baja suspension installed on my TRD Sport and I still have the Toco Lean... At least I think as that's how it looked to me in the drive way the last time I checking her ass out! Not sure if that answers your question or not though??

But I did get the suspension direct from Toyota and not Toytec and they did not come pre-assembled.

 

They replace the oe seat, about the lean I don't know. I've been busy with army that I am not able to install the suspension.

 

There shouldn't be a lean. Why check on your driveway when there's a slant to help drain water out garage. Check with truck parked inside or measure with tape.

 

I emailed Toytec, and here's their reply (and attached photos):

"The Baja front shock factory seats are the same thickness from side to side. Our 1” spacers replace the factory seats with a thicker seat. They are the same size side to side as well. I attached some photos of our spacer next to the stock one. I cannot find the other stock one, but am almost positive there is no difference side to side in the seats."

After looking at the picture posted by xpaznboymkivxp a bit more closely, it does appear that the factory seats are the same. Look close and you'll see that the spring on the left looks wider that the one on the right too - must be the way he took the picture. The only difference is in the adjustment of the seats. One is higher as shown by the line on the shock body.

 

Congrats on purchase, can't go wrong with some nice uca's. I love my icons
