    Wait, what about all the 2017-2019 guys?

    trd pro came with 3 versions of the fox shocks.

    2017-2018 - original version
    2019 - updated labels, slight tuning changes
    2020+ - updated labels, tuning changes, and new springs and perch styles.

    2017-19 all can use the same spring, but the 2020 has a different spring (the top and bottoms are not ground flat, they coil all the way)

    Honestly looks like a smart cost saving move. They don't even have to grind the flat on the bottom.

    1/3 of our R&D team is out of the office for the week, so I'm flying a little blind with whatever detail I can hunt down myself. Limited info while in prototype phase.

    Looks like our development vehicle is a 2020 PRO with the open end spring config. That doesn't mean we haven't looked at the others though. I'll touch base on the earlier models next week and report back.

    There are like six 2020 trd pro in the world... Seems like they should capture the market of people who have old sagging springs rather than cater to a car that has such a low production (covid factory shut downs)

    You dont get a boob job when your 20 and their nice and perky, you wait till gravity pulls them down when your 40.

    I agree with you, it sucks they're making these for the 2020 only. But it's probably because of the aforementioned cheap spring production method. There's a much higher margin I would imagine on a spring with an open end than a flat ground end. They'll obviously sell less of them to begin with.

    That would be well advised considering 90% of this thread is comprised of pre 2020 Pro owners. I know people with 2019 and earlier Pro's, and no 2020's. Seems silly not to offer something like this for all 3rd Gen years.

    Still patiently waiting. :popcorn:
