    Do you have any useful input to add into this thread? Why are you giving off a hating vibe for? I simply asked a question.

    Look into ADS suspension if your willing to spend some money.

    Some guy called @riz_atx has it on his rig.
    Supposedly it’s the tits as far as comfort and performance.

    Its like riding on a cloud of tits if you want it to be. The clicker adjustments are highly recommended on whatever brand of suspension you buy.

    I’m really happy with the ads setup I have. It’s the best purchase/mod I’ve made to my truck to date

    I would like to lift my Taco, but after reading all these comments/suggestions concerning lifting your ride, I have reservations.

    Been there, thought that.
    I eventually decided the benefits of lift far outweighed the issues I might encounter/induce because of it.

    Whats the issue? Nothing wrong with a 2in lift and 285’s besides losing a few mpg

    I don’t think he asked you.... his pro, he can do what he wants.

    I still don’t understand why so many non-pro owners feel so opinionated about pros and what should and shouldn’t be done. :argue:

    Silly question. When is a PRO no longer considered a PRO?

    Never. Unless you do a VIN swap. Anymore questions?

    If you are going to lift the rear 2~3" but keep the same shocks, your probably going to severely limit the down travel, giving you a shit offroad ride. When you install the leaf, id check that the shock is not the limiting factor on down travel, if it is, get longer ones. On that note I personally wouldn't do AAL unless you intend to keep extra weight back there.

    Same as when a sport or isn’t a sport or an OR isn’t an OR. Once totaled or vin swap. Modified pro is still a pro. Modified OR is still and OR...even if it’s a Pro clone.

    From a non-PRO owner, it's because a lot of us see the difference in $$$ and wonder why are people financing that. Tons of folks my age are car poor or house poor. It's dumb and a serious issue.

    When OP comes in and says "money is no object," it's clear they're not some poor guy working at an IHOP with a $600/month car payment for the next 8 years. I have no objection, hit subscribe, and wait to see what OP does. :thumbsup::thumbsup: I don't get the hate in this thread either.

    Pro really is perfect how it is munis the shitty tires. We can all agree on that. I already have my wheel and tire set up from my last tacoma.. id love to see them on my pro. Im also trying to stay with fox up front but still achieve my lift keeping it “pro”

    No matter what you do, you are just adding value. I can’t wait to see the finished product. I think the most I will do with my pro is add new tires when these wear out. I like the stock style but that’s just me. No mater what haters are gonna hate.

    Oh I’m sorry, I must have missed the post where OP asked for your advice on what model tacoma he should buy, if he should cater to corporate toyota greed and the stupidity of modding a pro....

    In case that post DIDN’T happen and you just wanted the world to know your shit opinion on all those things, then gee thanks mister. I guess it’s ok to be a dick head (nice gif btw) as long as you polish it off by saying “good luck”. Yah...that makes sense.
