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

My 2014 DCSB is stock, other than airbags. I never had any block, that i know of. I had had a few though, when i installed my 5100's and bags, lol. Are you talking about a spacer block in the back? I've never heard of any coming on a truck from factory. Maybe shitty dealer install package, lol. Not as knowledgeable as these other guys though.


I'm hoping my extra 120lbs up front will drop my front just a bit and i wont have to do an AAL and can let some air out of my bags. May still do the AAL and remove the overload, depending on how it looks. Then i could let air out as well and not ride around like a damn dump truck, lol.

 

no block, just leafs

 

Yes.

 

My guess is the rear sag is the same in both the pro and the off road after some years. The only difference being the pro is 1.75" higher in the front, so the sag over time is pronounced (level when new). The off-road has 1.75" rake when new. So when the rear sags, it's not as noticeable.

 

How do you know when/if you have axel wrap? I know what it is... but how do you know you have it if you do have it? What are the "symptoms"?

 

So....
after installing the PTR13-35150, what's the final exact lift gain for the 4x4 offroad DCSB?

Pls update everybody here...
Thanks in advance

 

Go look at past posts , 2 to 1 3/4 inch theres a white one a quicksand one and i think a silver one ......

 

Joined the club... will install them on the 27th





These things are beefy! Soda can for scale.

 

Excellent , you are offroad lb , 2wd or 4x4 ? Post #s , please ....

 

See post #447 for gen3

 

My truck is OR DCLB 4x4

I’ll post pics and info once everything is installed.

I'm curious to know your hub to fender measurements before you install the new suspension. I also have a 2014.

 

Just curious where you got the 1" over stock front measurement for a gen2?

 

So who's going to be the first to jump a 3rd gen? Not the guys running from the cops, but this style. I don't think I've seen the new pro jump.

 

For me I was troubleshooting my rear clunk and shimmy. I first thought it was part of the TSB but that shimmy usually happens above 20MPH. Mine happens as soon as I put gas to the pedal. So I decided to check for wrap and shaft angle. Checked a couple of videos to compare no wrap with wrap and then viewed the rear of my truck as it accelerated. The rear twists in and pushes drive shaft up. The shaft is also at wrong angle. So I'm going to take a holistic approach and apply all suggested fixes at once. Put the new TRD shocks on, upgrade the rear leafs, torque ubolts to specs, align my drive shaft, and pull the rear block. In reality I'm not a spacer/block lift kind of guy. I'm sure I could have tweak what I got and eliminated most of the problems but I needed an excuse to go better suspension.

 

"bro lean" and nose high are the same thing. Mine ended up 1 inch high in the front. I just got a 3 leaf add-a-leaf to fix it since I feel it looks ridiculous on my truck. Some of the others with the TRD offroad have the black fender flares so the lean/wheel gap difference is less noticeable and they can probably get away without adding any lift in the rear.

If you mean "taco lean" (low on driver side) then yes, this lift corrected it for me. The passenger and driver wheel wells measure exactly the same height off the ground after the lift. They was pretty significant lean with the stock suspension.

 

Mines tricky as I already have a procomp leveling kit. So I don't have factory height. I also don't won't to take multiple stabs at getting this dialed in so will follow forum suggestions and do it all at once. Will definitely measure before after install to see how my setup changes.

 

Are you planning to leave the factory overload leaf in with the 3leaf AAL, or remove it?

 

Thanks @TPC ...I am leaning on towards taking the same route on my 17 SR DCSB as you...My main goal is to make it level and have a good ride...a little lift never hurt anyone either...

 

I was originally going to leave it in for 2 inches of lift in the rear, but after reading here there seems to be concerns about over-extending the rear shocks. I don't know how to verify the compatibility of the TRD "5160" with 2 inches of rear lift, so I will probably play it safe and take it out for 1.5 in of rear lift. It will give me back a tiny bit of rake which I think will still look great.
