    Looking forward to stiffing up the front a little bit more with the seat spacer. After putting some good miles on the PRO coilovers, I do have a better understanding as to why people say they are a little soft. I particularly noticed on freeway corners, it dips kinda hard even if I'm not driving fast. I know these are progressive springs and meant to absorb in an offroad environment but hopefully the spacers will give me that added street performance I need for daily driving without sacrificing too much of my offroad capabilities. Will keep everyone posted.

    That's cool. Yes they are soft. The truck hates pavement. When it's off road it's where it should be. I have gotten used to it now. It's been 26000 miles on the pro suspension and the truck has 45k miles total. For a 2015 it's a lot. No issues at all with vibrations or whatever else. 90 mph today and runs tight. I am a fan of the dive and up when breaking and accelerating. The boatness of it is fun. Especially at night when you see the lights go up and down.

    i like that antenna. I had a medium size one break at the car wash. What kind is it and does it get good reception. Some of us listen To AM still. Lol

    What a difference. Very happy with the results. The seat spacer firmed up the front suspension equally to my rear set up. My handling has improved on the streets and my trucks stance is close to level. Completely satisfied. Curious to see how it will perform on the trails. Should know during my Big Bear trip in 2 weeks.

    The only downside to this experience was I received the wrong color spacer. I originally ordered anodized black but ended up getting aluminum. Not a big deal and Toytec plans to refund me the difference so all is good there.

    Enough talk, here are some pics. I'll take some better ones soon.

    Ignore the crooked skid plate, missing a bolt.

    Truck's looking good!.....Was waiting for your response on if the spacer stiffened up the coils. Thanks for posting, was getting nervous after reading the few posts before yours as i wasn't sure if i was going to add the spacer or not but def will now. Mines not a daily driver and see's mostly pavement but having the front end dipping in turns isn't what i want....Now i need to get off my ass and get this lift installed!.........2 questions though if you don't mind, 1) did you install the spacers yourself? and 2) are your tires in the pic's still the 265/70/17?

    Thanks, appreciate it.

    To answer your questions:

    1.) No, I had a shop perform this. I dont trust myself disassembling the coilovers without killing myself lol. They knocked it out, including alignment within 1 1/2 hours.

    2.) Yes you are correct, they are BFG KO2s 265/70/17

    Hope this helps everyone.

    8 or 10 ply tires make a huge difference with stiffening up the ride. I'm stock TRD Pro and it's a sweet ride all around.

    I just installed the Icon AAL a couple weeks ago, and love what it did for my truck. Today I got my Toytec front spacers and plan to install this week, with brand new BFG KO2 285/75/16. Can't wait to see the results!

    So I called a few tire shops today, and apparently BFG KO2 in 285/75/16 are only available in 10 ply, load E. Should I be concerned about the weight? Really wanted load C or D.

    Installed the front spacers today, and the truck looks awesome. Sits almost perfectly level. With the spacers and the AAL, with a tape measure off the floor to the fender, 1" exactly higher in th rear. Now to get my 285's, truck is gonna look WAY higher!
