(SOLD OUT) Discounted Price on TRD Pro Suspension Kit

Yeah the first year I was careful. But since then I only fill them when I am going to use them, never need bump stops daily driving..

I do plan to modd the brackets and put bumpstops back in soon. Surprised the last trip offroad I didn't blow a bag. I need to do the cradles, and add bumpstops.

 

Nope, in fact my PRO came with the worst leaves of any Tacoma I have ever owned.

It sagged at least an inch in the rear day 1, and they were so inadequate that I could step on the bumper and it was on the bump stops.

I spent hours hounding Toyota and corporate and they basically told me to go fuck myself.

 

Are these still available???

 

Haven't been available for awhile.

 

Did you replace your rear leafs then?

 

No, I bastardized some from my garage and used airbags

I plan to replace the leaves at some point. Probably the next time I break one.

 

This was my truck brand new as it came from the dealer, I can't find a side picture.

 

I think that remains one of my favorite model/year Tacoma's of all time.

 

Me too! I had to buy it.

The only way I could like it more is if it was access cab.

 

I had some vibes from the rear below 10mph after doing mine. FWIW, I ordered and added the OME driveline spacer (FK29) to see if it made a difference and they pretty much went away completely.

 

I don't have the original front measurements but the measurements before the rear leafs were added are below:
DF: 22 7/8" PF: 23 1/4"
DR: 22" PR: 21 7/8"

Current measurements (not on the most level ground) are as follows: (full tank of gas)
DF: 23 1/4" PF: 23 3/8"
DR: 24 1/4" PR: 23 7/8"

I don't think the passenger rear is that much lower than the driver (was rushed), but I think the fronts are pretty spot on. I did notice in older measurements that obviously we have the taco lean from the driver front being lower but I also noticed my trucks Passenger rear was also lower? This is both with stock leafs, and now the aftermarket leafs? I think the measurements above are a little exaggerated but there is a difference. In the pictures I have it almost looks to me that the passenger side has more of a rake, so I think it may just be the ground not being level. the measurements are with the bikes in the back while in my driveway which is far from perfect, the bikes weigh around 80 lbs together if I had to guess.

Yeah, I figured that would be the easiest modification to remedy the problem, it looks like it only drops it about a 1/4"? I've seen other kits giving about an inch drop but I didn't think I needed that much, the rear lift is 2" after the new leafs according the the measurements above.

 

I did notice when I was assembling my leafs (leaves?) from a new take off set, with my aal, they are different part numbers and right and left specific. Factory springs. I imagine to compensate for gas tank. Think maybe yours is over compensating? Were yours side specific too?

 

Very possible, they were specific, maybe I can expect to level out as it settles? I remember on measurement I took of the originals and they were dead even at one time but the two measurements supplied were the most recent I recorded so I brought it up for discussion. Maybe I can find a half inch spacer for the rear haha. I'm too much of a perfectionist.. I think there is only about a 1/4" of a difference because I measured right after the rear and they were both just over 38" from the floor up. all I know is I'm ready for the weather to clear up so I can make it look goood and get some more protection on the body, I think my sealant is about done.

 

Ya, you care way more than i would, lol...

Mine gets worked too hard for me to keep up with it

Do have squealing chirp that is drivin me crazy, that i havent tracked down yet. Ruled out belt this morning, on to pulleys. Started right after the alignment, go figure...

 

That's not good! Maybe improper skid plate install if related to bumps or driving?

 

Its the throwout bearing. Yay!

 

What!?! that's crazy!
it's from all this -->

 

Who knows. They are known to chirp pretty bad. Usually go before clutch. Sounds like crap, lol...
Its not always this loud and goes away with clutch depressed.

Wow. So an inch or less from front to back. I was hoping for 1.5" or less so that setup works. Guess I'll pull the trigger and get the 1/4" top spacers and the General Springs leaf pack. Thanks for posting specs.

 

no worries, I did measure the rear again, both are closer to 24" on more level ground. like you I was thinking I would have more of a rake but it came out pretty perfect for me. I just hope the rear doesn't settle too much I don't want it to have any less of a rake than it does otherwise it will look nose high to me.
