    Welcome to TW and congrats on the truck. I'd leave it alone. What other reason is there to buy a pro than the suspension?!

    Supposedly they come 1" higher in the front so should already be level? @mutely

    I honestly thought it came leveled from the factory.

    Most people would disagree with me. But since you got a TRD pro, you paid extra for the stuff it came with. Obviously, the best thing to do is a suspension upgrade. Since I can assume you do not want to do this, you should: get your measurements and do a small puck/spacer/cheap/fake lift in the front only.

    You will need an alignment after.

    Pay exorbitant cost for TRD PRO with "Top Tier" Suspension. Installs Spacer. :facepalm:

    Please don't!

    I hear ya on that one. One fun thing about spacers.... They can always be removed. Rather easily too! Best of luck on what you decide. :burnrubber:

    i have looked at changing the suspension to get the height that i want, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the trd pro, on the other hand i suppose i could do aftermarket suspension and hang on to my factory fox stuff, thoughts??

    Someone else is selling the factory Pro suspension for $2500, for front shocks, rear shocks, and stock UCAs.

    You can buy a lot better setup for $2500.

    Yeah might thought is you should have bought a TRD off-road, bought the suspension you want and put the difference in the bank lol

    That would only be "leveled" if the rear is 1" higher than the front on the non pro models. I have no idea what the difference actually is.

    But going by the shadow under the truck in that picture, it looks pretty level to me. Remember the arches are probably not the exact same height front and rear, so going by the wheel / fender gap is only going after aesthetics.

    Measure from the center of your wheel to the bottom of your fender all around to find the actual difference. It it's like 1" or so, you could always just remove your overload leaf and that'll drop the ass end about 1/2" (as long as you don't plan on loading your bed to near capacity anytime soon). A lot of people remove their overload spring when installing certain add a leafs, so it's been tried and true to be safe.

    Doesn't the pro come with coilovers? Can you just buy a spanner and give it a little preload until it's riding where you like?

    I did 1.5" up front with Bilstein 6112s and 1.5" progressive 3 leaf AAL in rear. Thought it would retain more rake but appears level, no? Could be the front will still settle more over time. Hard to say because it is true that every vehicle is just a little bit different.

    I'm 99% sure the pros don't have adjustable coilovers.
