Front Suspension Question

I have a 3rd gen white 2019 trd pro and Im tryna raise the front suspension more, Its on 3 inch blocks in front and rear blocks with some rough country ass shocks and then on the fox suspension which is red and I lowkey hate that shit I dont fw the red exept the skid plate so Im tryna get black struts and I already have the white uppers it gonna be tuff and I didn't know what the max i could fit in there is I was tryna cop the 2 inch leveling struts and put them on my white blocks to match but is five inches gonna fit in those uppers there supposed to be for 3.5 inch lifts and larger but they didn't say a max, idc about ride quality

 

Welcome to TW? Some of us are older, and occasionally using punctuation in your posts helps us avoid a possible stroke.

To get more than 3 inches of lift you need a drop-bracket lift.

 

This is really hard to follow. If I'm understanding correctly, you've already ditched the rear fox suspension for rough country and blocks, and are now wanting to ditch the front fox suspension (with 3" lift spacers already) for some even cheaper 2 inch leveling struts + the existing front spacers?

I'll admit, I respect you came in here shooting us straight. You don't like red, its all for looks, and you don't care about the ride. I honestly wish more people could be this honest. While this thread will turn into a dumpster fire I'm sure for choosing rough country shocks, blocks, and spacers over TRD PRO suspension, you're bold enough to say you don't care. I respect it.

 

With a 5-inch lift on your 2019 TRD Pro, you're pushing things to the extreme, especially if you're already running 3-inch blocks and Rough Country shocks. Adding 2-inch leveling struts on top of the current setup may cause issues with alignment, suspension geometry, and overall drivability. While the upper control arms (UCAs) you have might technically handle up to 3.5-inch lifts, going to 5 inches may cause binding, excessive wear on the UCAs, and stress on other suspension components like your ball joints and CV angles.

If you're dead set on getting to 5 inches, I’d recommend upgrading the entire suspension system (including stronger UCAs and drop brackets). But keep in mind, ride quality and long-term durability might take a hit. Also, make sure you get a reputable alignment done after any modifications.

If you’re just after aesthetics and don’t care about ride quality, you could try it, but be prepared for extra maintenance and potential issues down the road.

 

If I was trying to simulate driving down the road with the flintstones car I would do this as well…

On a serious note your trd pro suspension for sale?

 

Holy run-on sentence lol

 

why are all yall all uncs
yeah i should’ve specified that im talking about the fronts i already copped the back but thanks for the info actually

There's a "right" way and "wrong" way to do things.

 

What color is it?

 

Im all about that red plastidipped engine cover

 

WTF is an uncs? Do we remind you of a close and personal uncle? I feel offended but I don't even know why.

I am assuming its 4wd? limited on shock overall length or will have CV axle binding.

3" in the front is a lot, you can always do a 1" body lift to get a little more height. But a 3rd gen is already around 21" center of hub to fender from the factory, once you go above 23" it performs poorly. With a spacer lift you could be experiencing cv axle binding already, CV boot tears, coil smacking the UCA, shock bottoming out before the bumpstop is engaging. Needle Bearing issues (If not replaced with ECGS),

Going higher is going to make these issues more prevalent and the wear and tear is going to be heading your way.

 

This thread is as good as any to revive into a Friday thread.

 

I think he’s calling uncle effers or something
