PTR13-35150 - Bilstein TRD PRO kit - Upgrade??

I installed my TRD Pro kit today.
265/75/16 At3ws Falken Wildpeak 5 tires
16x8 0 offset wheels
1.5" rear block
1/4" added front upper plate to both sides.
Stock UCA

I still have 1/4" lean to the driver side.


IMO it drives better than my stock 4x4 OR suspension.

The last picture with stock suspension

 

Looks great! Any vibrations at all?

 

I took it for a drive looking for the vibration.
So far, thankfully none...

I am very pleased with this suspension.
They are a lot better than OR stock suspension (IMO).

 

which kit did you get?

any reason why you put the spacer in on the passenger side? i would assume leaving it out would have fixed the lean.

have you rode in a 17 or 18 pro fox suspension? how would you compare the ride?

I like my OR suspension vs the Fox Pro. the originally posted kit i wonder if is softer sprung vs the actual fox pro suspension.

 

I haven't driven a tacoma with the Fox Pro suspension.
The OR too wobbly for me.
This Bilstein Pro is stable.

I added 1/4" spacer to both side to achieved more lift. The driver side has a higher perch than the passenger side. That should help or fix the lean. 1/4" spacer should give you 1/2" lift.

 

Hello all in this thread,

I decided to sell my TRD Pro bilstien Kit. I have some other goals that would like to focus my economic resources on. After I meet my goals, I may upgrade to an adjustable aftermarket set.

I haven't installed the kit, and I only removed one rear shock and one front coil-over from the shipping package. The sets are currently boxed up.

Looking to get $850 for the set OBO.

This is for local pickup only in California. I am willing to meet anyone in the SF Bay, Sacramento or Stockton area.

 

Does anyone know if factory 3rd Gen Top Hats work with this or are they specific to this or the Baja kit?

 

They do I used them on mine.

 

Wish you were on the east coast. Not that you'll need it, but good luck with the sale.

 

Question for people that have had this installed for a while now. Where is your front lift settling at, 2”, 1.75”? I’m about to install and debating adding a 0.250” spacer on both sides to add to the lift. Targeting 2”.

 

Just for reference but I have the Baja kit which has 650lb springs and I ended up using a half inch spacer to get me up to 2 inches up front. I started with a quarter inch spacer and ended up stepping up to a half inch. Not sure what i would of gotten without either spacer but I'm thinking it would of been right at an inch or so. Hope that helps.

 

I have the Pro kit and installed with 1/2” spacers at first IIRC I ended up about 22” HTF with full Mobtown skids and sliders. I swapped the 1/2” spacer with a 1-1/8” spacer instead and ended up at 23-1/4” HTF

 

I’m 20.5” HTF on both passenger and driver side stock. Want 22.5”. No plans to add bumpers or steel skids. Maybe AL skids later, sliders at some point. Would be ok if it was 22” after all that. Those that have this kit, should I add 1/4” spacer from the start? I’m worried if I go over 2” I’ll need UCA’s.

 

We installed the same lift on my friends new 2018 with a 1/4” spacer and he ended up at 23” HTF but may have since settled some

 

I have mine installed 6 days with 1/4" spacer it lift my truck 2.5".

 

Ok, that’s a little more than I want. That extra 1/2” is just enough to take stock UCA’s past the alignment range.

Let me know if it settles any more. How many miles on it since the lift?

Thinking I’ll skip the spacers for now.

 

I have stock UCA 16x8 0 offset wheels 265/7/5/16 tires. The alignment was great.
I didn't have to upgrade UCA.

 

Can you post your alignment results?

 

I just finished installing 3 degree shims on my rear axle to fix my vibrations. The test drive went perfect. My vibrations are gone. I did not lower the CB. My CB working angle is 2.1 degrees and my rear pinion working angle is 2.7 degrees.

 

My buddy still has the stock UCA’s and says it drives great. He did say the alignment made a big difference after the lift. FWIW my truck sat at 23”
with spacers and factory UCA’s and drove better than it does now with JBA UCA’s and alignment set at 3* 0* 0* crazy I know?
