    will the baja bump stops you got work with the additional 1" in coil spacer? (2.75" total lift) or would it need a different size bump stop? and did you change the bump stops in the rear? Thanks, and awesome write up in your thread, a lot of helpful information in there!

    @JuanitoBunito .....I measured from the bottom of the lower perch to the end of the shock and it's 6" on the drivers side and 5-3/4" on the pass side so it 's the stops (for the lower perches) on the shock itself that that actually fix the taco lean...Pic is the drivers side, pic angle isn't showing it correct but it's actually 6 " there.....

    Thanks. Same as what came with mine. The descriptions were obscured on the package so didn't know exactly what the brake line spacers were. I'll take another look and see if I can figure it out.

    Check out the "bajaTXPro" thread by crashnburn80. Theres an excellent write up in there and a pic of the brake line spacer installed...

    Are you referring to a coil spacer, or a top plate spacer? And no change to rear bump stops as max compression did not change with the AAL.

    Coil spacer in the front (@ bottom of the coil)

    PRO suspension handled like a champ at Stoddard Wells this past weekend. Camper shell kept the rear planted on rough terrain.

    So i have a 2012 BAJA with an ARB on it i already have the toytec 1" bottom spacer and a 1/2" top spacer to achieve about 2.75 inches of lift because of the weight of the bumper.My question is can i simply just get some 700lb springs to replace the 620lb ones and get rid of the top spacer?? I've called toytec and they said no because the TRD BAJA coils are unique.

    They are unique to the coilover.....if you are running with the toytec spring seat spacer and a 1/2" top spacer.....you'll be higher than 2.75". You'd achieve that with the spring seat spacer alone.

    Im only at 2.75 because of the weight of the ARB bumper but i want to get rid of the top spacer so if i get 3 its ok i have JBA uca's already.

    I'm so glad I found this thread. I recently purchased a 2015 TRD PRO and the rear "sag" has been bugging me.
    Looks like I have a Icon 1.5" Progressive AAL in my future. But now I'm wondering if I should add the additional 1" Toytec spring seat spacer and leave the rear overload in?? Hmm...
    I have the TRD supercharger which adds additional weight which is why I'm thinking about the 1" spring seat spacer. And if I do the additional 1" up front then I will want to leave in the rear overload.

    Another question is about labor - I do not trust myself to install suspension equipment on my truck. I want it done by a professional. I know the AAL shouldn't be too much - about an hour or so? How about the front spring seat spacer? Seems more labor intensive?

    Thanks in advance for the replies.

    I'm supercharged as well. As well as having the rear icon aal. I haven't yet touched my coilovers. I will be doing the toytec spring seat spacer or just the 1'2" top plate spacer. I was gonna replace my overload to keep the rake but now I'm thinking I'll leave it off. The rear rides so nice as it sits so why mess with it...Is my stance on it now. It will level it off which I think I can live with.

    If you want to keep the nicer ride without the overload, you can throw in wheelers 1/2" shims and boom, done.

    Lift is all done! I ended up going with the Toytec spring seat spacer up front and the Icon 3 leaf progressive AAL in the rear. I removed the overload.
    Finally got a chance last weekend to go up to the mountains and test it out. Holy cow, this suspension in the Pro is SO much nicer and smoother than my old '09 TRD Sport! It is so fun to drive.
    Thanks to all to contributed in this post for the help!

    Looks great! Was this the 1" spacer you used? http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com...JA-and-Pro-Edition-Tacoma-4Runner_p_1065.html . I was thinking about doing the Progressive AAL but i think I'm going with Dakars because i will have a topper on full time.
