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

was anyone able to get 285-70-17 on there truck with this lift? I have the kit, but decided to sell it locally, but having 2nd thoughts of putting it on if I can get my sema wheels wrapped with 285's.

 

Stock UCA’s. I only have right at 2” of lift right now. I was able to get castor to 1.6 and honestly it drives the same as it did before the lift. I may do SPC’s in the future if I get weird tire wear and the alignment techs bitch. It drives great right now. I can take hands off the wheel and it tracks great, mash the brakes and it tracks straight. I love smashing dips and other bumps right now. Off-road it’s great as well. I don’t think it’s overly firm at all.

I did the ECGS at the same time as the lift. I have no vibrations from the rear driveline. I have an OME CB drop kit but didn’t install it. Waiting to see if things change, but so far it’s looking good.

I may do 3/8” spacers and Wheeler’s SuperBumps on all 4 corners down the road to maximize the lift with this kit, but aside from that, I have no plans for any future suspension changes.

 

Has anyone installed this kit with the 1" spring perch? If so, how was the alignment? Any vibrations? Aftermarket UCA's?

 

Hi Everyone I’m ready to do mine this weekend and had a quick question. I think I read somewhere that the fronts are side specific?Thanks for your help!

 

Correct. It fixes the drivers side lean.

 

Thanks for the response!

 

Any questions hit me up man.

 

Thanks Chan! The SD Brew Crew is going to help with the install!

 

Is anyone having any Needle Bearing issues with this suspension ? or weird whrapping vibrations around 40 mph?

 

None here, but I installed diff drop at time of install.

 

I got the Needle bearing and had to replace with ECGS afterward solved that problem!
Vibration at 20 mph I wouldn’t say axcel wrap since i can feel it regardless speeding or slowing with and without applying gas or breaking. Tire balance and rotation did not resolve, I tried OME bearing drop spacer that did not solve it either.
Next attempt will be 3* shims once I have Tim for it.

 

Finally got mine done over this weekend with the SD Brew Crew!

 

We’re you running 5100’s before? How does the ride compare? How much total lift did you get? Thanks!

 

Product is no longer available on that link.

 

These kits sold out Feb - March. You may be able to pick one up from a private sale but not from Toyota.

 

What tire size are you running?

 

Someone near me selling one on CL. They're asking $1000 though

 

I'd pass.

 

Agreed. Hard pass. I got the kit along with Dakar heavies to bring my 2013 w/ 70k miles up to the height(max 1.5" lift) and tongue weight capability(roughly 500 lbs) that I needed for my set up. The price was awesome and the shocks blow away stock 2013 DCSB TRD sport, but at that price range you go with more adjustable 6112 5160 kit for less and keep the longest possible warranty.

 

How are you liking your Dakars? Been thinking that I might change. My AAL is super squeeky and I should have just got a full pack from the start.
