    i have read that some have bought the Pro suspension and put on a OR and it leveled it. Is this true? All the Pros that I have seen set about the same as a stock OR with front slightly lower. I know the performance will be better but will it set level?

    I have found a deal on some take off stuff is the reason I am considering this. If not I will go aftermarket.

    Can anyone chime in on this?

    I actually saw a TRD Pro at my local dealership and did an unscientific test of the wheel gap using my phone as a rudimentary measuring tape. The height of my phone + case was basically the wheel gap of the Pro, maybe a smidge loose.

    My phone + case was basically the gap of my TRD OR, but maybe a smidge less loose than the Pro. I also am on stock size snow tires with about 9/32" of tread left. Based on this I'd venture to guess you might get 1/2 to 1/4" of lift with the Pro setup, if you're lucky. It's hardly the lift you'd get if you ran the Baja / Pro suspension on the 2G Off-Road.

    I was disappointed to see this myself, as I had thought about acquiring a take-off suspension at some point if someone was selling for a steal. If you're looking to level, here are other options (Bilstein 6112 / King come to mind).

    I installed TRD Pro Fox suspension on my 17 OR. The front sits one inch higher after the install but the rear remained the same. I posted this on another thread but can't remember the title of the thread.

    Nowhere did it say I measured it. That’s what I was asking for input. Why waste your time to comment on something if not going to be helpful. Appreciate it.

    Post up your hub to fender, I'm curious where they sit. The one I did my quick and dirty measure was at most 1/2" higher than my OR based on tire to fender gap. Granted I was on snows, so I'm curious what it will actually sit. I honestly don't believe it's that much higher, definitely not 1" higher in stock form.
