How to lift a TRD PRO (a bit) w/ stock suspension

Nope. Drove 4 hours on rutted forest service trails today, feels so much better.

 

So did you add a lift spacer?

 

The PRO is a coilover system, correct? I used a 0.5” spacer above my Fox CO’s to get an extra inch of lift. Absolutely no change in ride quality Andy no danger to truck or suspension.

Yes, 1.5” top plate spacer.

 

How much lift did the 1.5 give you? As much as the Revtek spacer did?

 

@ssmith0480 can you provide a link to the spacer you used?

Yeah it’s 3/4” thick and gives 1.5” of lift.

 

If that works why is there so many people saying it won't fit on Pros?

 

I’m guessing because of liability reasons. Not really sure. I wouldn’t lift it over 1.5” with a top plate. The UCA almost hits the coil at full droop.

 

How thick was the Revtek spacer?

 

did you reinstall the rubber spacer that is disgarded during the Revtek installation?

 

I have the Rough Country 1" spacers on top of the front shocks in my TRD Pro Tacoma, and it gave a full 2" lift. The UCA will touch the coil spring at full droop. Thinking about changing the UCA to something different, but don't want to have to get another alignment.

 

I have the 1" Revtek spacers inside my shock and am ok on my ucas.But want to remove them and put a spacer on top to unload the preloaded spring.

 

About 1” and yes I put the rubber pieces back in.

 

Yeah mine is super close with 1.5” lift, I was thinking it would have contacted any higher than that. I have TC arms though.

 

Great thanks

 

@ssmith0480 did you need the TC arms with .75” top plate or would the stocker be fine?

 

I was using stock UCA with the Revtek preload spacers but wasn’t able to get enough caster, so I wound up going with the TC UCA’s about a month later to make driving on the interstate less sketchy.

Honestly if I’d have gone with the top plates from the start it wouldn’t have been as stiff and bouncy on the interstate and I might not have felt the need for the aftermarket UCA’s.

 

Well damn. I guess I'll need to test it out. I have 285s on my 2nd gen, but it has aftermarket wheels. I guess I'll have to get the tire shop to swap the tires onto my factory pro wheels and ride around a bit. Will be a pain in the ass, but cheaper than a set of tires...
