Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

Thanks for this. Someone in the pros-suck camp was trying to convince me otherwise.

 

Yep, they are wrong. The left side has a little more preload on the spring to compensate for the driver and gas tank.

 

Good info, I appreciate it!

 

See below; this is from a few months back. Details how Eibach measures to prevent skewed measurements from wheel size, tire size/load rating, tire pressure, etc. My Pro was the 2018 test truck, installer and engineer at Eibach passed along plenty of great knowledge.

 

Is it known if these will work on 2022 TRD Pro yet? I have a deposit on a 2022 Pro and had planned to put the Westcott spring perch on it (those are verified compatible with the 2022) but will these springs work? I've seen the 2022 Pro has a 1.5" front / .5" rear lift over the 2021 Pro. Is it know yet how Toyota accomplished this new lift on the 2022? If the 2022 already has a 1.5" front lift does that put additional limitations on any additional lift I can add without effecting other components?

 

The new 2020+ setup arrived this morning. Hey, they responded to complaints about packaging, and everything looks great. Install tomorrow - be on standby for updates.

 

I think the new 2022 uses new springs (possibly even these springs) to get that lift. But if you lift it even more than stock your going to have to modify some more things. Upper control arms will probably need to be swapped out for adjustable ones, diff drop may need to be installed to keep CV angles good, you will need to swap out the needle bearings, and Im sure there are some more things that need to be done.

 

Don't the '22 Pros come with high caster forged UCAs?

 

I think do, but they are probably set up for the lift the truck has already and leave little room for adjustment. Guess once people start getting these trucks we will see what the upper arms are.

 

If anyone wants to check them out, only $1500 for a pair!

Im holding out for when pro owners get rid of them in favor of aftermarket ones. Then I can swoop in and grab a pair for cheap.

 

Don't get me wrong, I think they look real nice, but if I swap UCAs, I'll just put something adjustable in. Don't want to have to do that more than once.

 

Understandable. Since I dont plan to go over the lift I have, the stock pro arms will be right where I need them. If I can score a set under $500 I will be happy.

 

$1500 is at 30% off, full retail is $2250

 

Something tells me '22 Pro owners ain't gonna be just giving those things away

 

Yeah, it will start with a few months of them trying to sell them for $1500, then eventually they will realize they need to put a reasonable price on it to sell them.

 

By the time any of them get their trucks, 4th gen will be released and no one will want them.

 

I don't know man, guys are still squeezing out every drop when selling their Pro coilovers haha

 

Yeah, those actually seem to be going up in price now... For a little bit over the summer they were getting to good levels in the 700-1000 range. Now they are back up over 1500.

I only paid $100 for mine but I had to have 1 rebuilt and that cost me around $200. The guy I got them from was part of the local native tribes that gets big money from the casino, he got kings and gave the shocks to his buddy who sold them to me.

 

You think I can get someone to buy my OEM springs, or should I hang onto them for resell?
