    Hey TW, I have some used TRD T/X Baja suspension I’m looking to sell. These are the TRD tuned Bilstein 6112 & 5160 shock set and I have the fronts sprung with 600lb 14 inch king springs. Good condition still and work well. I got rid of my truck back in April but have been away to work. So I’m finally going to post them. I’ll let them go for $400 for the set.

    Mileage approximately 60K miles . And shipping is possible but it is heavy. So depending on location will be the rate that will be presented.

    Did the amount of lift change much when you swapped those springs on there? Original springs were 650, right?

    I recently had both Baja and Pro shocks on my bench and was able to compare. The spring seat locations are different - significantly. I would expect a decent difference in lift height by dropping to a lower rate spring.

    not much actually. The height I got was actually about the same maybe some more because the original TRD springs were 13 inches long and the kings are 14 inches. So it was preloaded a bit more which gave about the same amount of lift. But since the king springs are linear and at 600lbs it was relatively softer. It gave a more lift and dive effect on acceleration and braking since the springs are longer and we’re preloaded more but, we’re at a softer rate.

    Hmm, interesting. That doesn't doesn't match the Pro/Baja parts I have here. Both my Pro and Baja springs were 14". And the stock springs (believe they're made by Eibach) were linear, not progressive. :notsure:
