    I recently swapped out the stock Bilstein suspension on my '16 Off Road 4x4 for the TRD PRO suspension. The parts have approximately 5000 miles on them. Looking to sell all parts for $180. I bought the Tuff Country leveling kit from Les Schwab, they installed it as well. Local pickup in Oakdale CA 95361 or I can ship at buyers expense.

    ThanksIMG_0141.jpgIMG_0142.jpg

    Not up to par on suspension upgrades so can someone tell me how this would be on my 16' SR5 access cab 4x4 2.7 4cyl ... i have the stock hitachi shocks/ stock springs?
    What exactly does the leveling/spacer kit do ... raise front end ? I read before on here that spacer makes for a rough ride cause something about overloading coil ?
    Please tell me more about this setup and how you think it would perform on my truck, i do little off roading


    THANKS !

    The leveling kit (spring spacer) raised the front end just a bit over 1", making the front just about level with the rear. Les Schwab said the spacer might cause the suspension to be firmer but I didn't notice any change in the ride.

    It's much better to lift via longer coils than with spacers, due to preloading the coils. It's a rougher ride and limits wheel travel.
