Scroll to the bottom of the page you linked earlier. JBA specifies what size wheels and tires will work with their UCAs.

Edit: looks like they could possibly work for you as long as you don't get larger tires.

 

Are the size listed the ones that will work with the JBA UCAs? I have 17x8.5" and planning on upgrading to 285/70/17s with these springs.

 

It's the backspacing that matters for clearance of these JBA UCAs, which results from the confluence of rim width and offset. Check the offset of your rim to determine if the backspacing is sufficient

 

Awesome! Since mine are +0mm 17x8.5, the backspacing would be 9.5/2 = 4.75"

 

Any updates? Y'all fly out there and steer the ship back yourselves?

 

I just placed my BO for the 20-21 springs last week. My invoice says ETA April but the guy said maybe March.

I’m in SE Portland btw!

 

Nice! We'll have to keep in touch. Will you be installing them yourself?

 

Coming in late to this thread. I recently had a coil spring break on my 2015 TRD Pro (with the Bilstein suspension). Do you have anything that would replace these? Thanks!

 

Did you get this installed? Can you get those fender to hub measurements.

 

The 2020's have taken so long that I'm just about in the market for a Raptor now...

 

Long spring, same spring rate. EXACTLY the same result as same spring with spacer as long as you can't now run the coil with spacer to coil bind at full bump. Yay marketing!

You know that there are thousands of suspension spring options out in the market and if you need a spring with a certain ID, rate, and free length you can probably cross reference and find it, right? This is all your spring companies are doing, finding something out of their catalog or from their supplier that fits and slapping a new sticker/application note/color on it.

 

Speaking of, I’ve really reconsidered this as an option. This is because the wait time paired with the fact that Toytec has TRD Pro replacement springs that bump to 700 lbs. Why not just go that route?

 

It's what I do. You should be able to find catalogs for Eibach, Draco, Pac, Hyperco, etc. Or you could call a spring supplier with your desired ID, free length, and rate and see what they have to fit the bill.

 

Something you should know about the toytec kit on 2020+ trucks is that you have to remove the lower spring perch and replace it with the toytec one. They made a single spring that covers all the pro tacomas, but since the springs changed in 2020, toytec had to include new perches to convert the new style springs to the older style springs. Eibach has 2 different springs, one for each of the versions of the pro suspension.

 

That wont be difficult since you already have the springs off. I did the westcott lift with the stock TRD pro Fox suspension on my 2021 Pro. The westcott lift replaces the stock perch also. I was thinking of going with either the eibach springs or the toytec springs in addition to the westcott but decided I didn't need to. I got the height I needed and the ride is still great.

Long term is replacing with king's anyway.

 

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the 2020+ pros had an unusual shape of their spring perch and couldn’t take off the shelf springs. Ultimately I should probably swap for kings, but for now I’m too lazy, cheap, and poor to put the legwork in on that…

 

This can be true. However, the easy fix for that is a simple, quality aftermarket shock. Ideally one that's tunable and opens up spring options.

 

Everything you say is true, I'd still have to research options, pricing, etc. There are so many options out there, and I like making informed decisions, so just haven't set aside the time for it.

 

For those wondering, I had Stellar Built Fabrications do my install in Sacramento CA. The installed the Eibach Pro springs WITH the Westcott perch lift. I cleared 34's w/ a CMR no prob. They said they'd never done the combo of the two together. So far the ride and stance is great. Firm but not harsh on the ride. Likely limited down travel, but not a huge problem for a light of roader. Combined saw +/- 3.2" front lift w/ oem bumper. Will probably settle of course.
