Replace front fox suspension to run leveling kit

I want to level my truck but not really wanna put a leveling kit, I was thinking buying the WD or springs but rather change the suspension since what I read on other threads said that with those leveling kits it rides stiffer and I like a smoother ride.

 

Stock Pro suspension is pretty good as-is. I wouldn't go replacing it unless you just feel like burning some cash. New coilovers are going to be expensive.

I've been running the Westcott spring perch lift and Eibach lift springs for 3+ years with no issues. I'd suggest going with one or both of those for the time being and maybe get a new leaf pack or AAL for the rear to level it out or keep a bit of rake.

The stock suspension is great not get me wrong but really will like to get that look of the leveling Stan or maybe in the future same put a 2.5 or 3 in lift all around. That’s why I’m wondering if people actually install new adjustable coilovers but like running them level and then adjusting them up the 2.5 inch. Don’t really wanna spend money on a leveling kit and then have to buy 3 inch lift for future

 

You've got a Pro, so you're already lifted like 1.5" in the front. If you buy new adjustable coilovers and set them to 2.5" of lift, you'll only be getting one inch more lift than you have right now. Any more than that and you start having trouble with shocks bottoming out, rough ride, no down travel, and CV angles that rub boot fins together.

If you wanna spend $2k on new coilovers instead of $200-300 on new springs or spring perches, which will both give you the same ride height, you go right ahead.

 

Yeah well I really haven’t fine some spring that actually fit my truck 23 trd pro, you know any?

 

The Eibach springs I linked above will fit your truck. You can call Eibach to confirm with them but even the website says they fit 2020+ models.

Here's a post from another member in the Eibach lift springs thread describing what you can expect to be different on a 2020-21 vs 2022-23 TRD Pro with these springs:

 

Yeah that’s what I’m looking for but just talk to customer service and told me that it won’t fit, they are looking for some volunteers to take some measurements and come out with new ones. Also I see people running the 20 21 Toyota springs in the new Tacomas and they say it fine but other says is bad so is confusing

 

I had a front coil over crack on my 2017 Pro last year. Unable to get a new Fox spring from Toyota. It came from the factory with that suspension and now no support, go figure. Luckily, I found a great local mechanic that is a Land Cruiser guru. He gave up finding the right spring from Toyota and he suggested replacing everything (front and rear) with Old Man Emu BP-51s. Pricey but I love them. The truck is now level (as opposed to the slight nose down stance from the factory) and rides better than ever. For what it's worth, I couldn't be happier.
