3rd Gen Suspension On My 2nd Gen

I stole mine locally on craigslist for $50.

But average I have seen is about $150

 

Do not pay more than you have to. I'd only shoot for the Offroad yellow/blue bilsteins. Most people seem to be selling below $200-250 for fully assembled front and rears. I would not pay any more than that, of course cheaper the better. I got both fronts fully assembled with like no more than 1K miles on them for $150 shipped. I wouldn't waste my money if the fronts are not fully assembled either. The whole point is to just be able to bolt it in, not dick around with assembling coils.

And don't waste your money on beat up looking shit, shit that the seller wouldn't even bother cleaning up, shit that has more than a few thousand miles at most.

FYI: i went with just the fronts, and put a 1.5 AAL in the rear. And will likely go with 5100s for the rears when I finally get around to it.

 

The ride was way more secure and less bouncy, a little more firm and planted to the road and there were no clunks from my old 10 year old struts. Lol. Also i paid 300cdn for everything except the leaf pack and they were brand new

 

I got both (assembled) Bilstein front shocks & springs, both Bilstein rear shocks and both Upper Control Arms with less than 300 miles on them for $300.

 

Gave $120 for front shocks,coils,and the rear shocks with 5-10 miles on them.l'm putting them on a 2010 double cab with 93,000 miles.Should have a little bit better ride from what I've read on here. Wheels and tires next

 

Thanks guys for the feedback.
Yeah I've got a set locally a guys selling for $200 with 5k on them but he won't budge..
I'm trying to decide on this route vs some OME stuff. Big price difference between 200 and 800, or whatever the ome set up ends up being. This just seems like the best value proposition out there (the 3rd Gen take offs)

 

Forgive me if I missed it, but can somebody give me a center of Hub to Fender measurement on their front with these?

 

I paid $220 for a set of 2017 Sports with hats on 3rd Gen FS thread; may be the best bang for buck I've gotten for my 2005 RC. PreRunners have the stiffest suspension of them all, it was horrible.

 

Huh..interesting, I've thought mine isn't that bad. Maybe I'm in for a big improvement.

 

Here is my truck with TRDOR 3rd gen suspension. Wheelers progressive aal, 1/4 top plate spacers up front.

Looks great, is that a 3 leaf with the overload in out back?

 

Yeah 3rd gen leaf pack progressive aal. No leaf removed.

 

I have a 2009 2wd RCLB.

will a 3rd gen suspension bolt up?

I can also get the TRDPRO suspension for $850

 

Are you a 6 lugger?

 

How's your rear ride with the lift and the stock OR shock?..

 

It’s great. Firm, but nice. Holds a load well too.

 

No, 5 lug.

 

installed '17 TRDOR front assemblies/rear struts, and a headstrong 3 leaf aal (removed factory overload) on my 2.7. I was a little worried jumping up to the 700# spring rate on the already light 4 banger, but the ride is much better than my original setup with 120K on it. Gained about 1.75" in the front, and 1.5" in the rear (new leaf packs from recall last April). Just make sure you go red and green dot marked on the coil for drivers side, and you're good to go. Tires are 265/70/16 for reference.

 

Wow looks spot on.
