Base model with TRD suspension?

Hey folks...I need help!!!....I have a base model 4x4 non TRD or sport...I have the black garbage shocks...I have the chance to buy stock TRD suspension....1. Good idea? 2. Would it give me any lift at all over mine...I.e. a better stance or ride etc?

 

You would be better off buying something aftermarket unless you are getting them for free.

 

it is not going to rock your world or lift it. what TRD suspension does is handle the heat from washboard roads a bit better, and they fade less than stock. otherwise think of them as normal shocks with a fancy colored plastic cover to make it look like it is awesome, but they are really just a wee bit above average. so...as indicated...don't pay a lot for them...though better than stock, it is not really much

 

Is this the same truck you have in your profile?

 

Yes same truck....I know it says trd ....previous owner had a little man complex I guess....just seems every other stock Tacoma sits higher than mine...from top of wheel to fender

 

Here's what I'm working with

 

Btw...it would be leafs...UCA's...front coil overs rear shocks and u-bolts $200

 

I replaced the struts and coils on my old 2006 SR5 with some TRD ones I got off the net. They were cheaper than buying new stock ones and had only a few thousand miles on them. Seemed like they did do a better job on the rough roads. That was about it.

 

Thanks for the input so far guys!!

 

That won't make it look like the stupid trucks with nose in the air?

 

Thanks ALOT guys!!

 

uca's are no different, no point in changing them unless you have high miles and need the upper ball joints replaced.

 

beat me by a minute!!

 

So I'm going for 5100s IN the front with my stock coils....adujastable right?

 

yes 0 .85 1.75 2.5"

 

Got mine at 2.50 with 1.50 AAL

 

Should the adjustment match like rear shocks or just preference

 

Rear with 1.50 AAL front set 2.50

 

Perfect....pretty much exactly what I'm going for...what brand AAL you got...rear shocks?

 

I think I remember a vendor on TW that has some discount for members for 5100 is that right....I ask while I'm also searching...at work
