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

Can't help you with long-term-ish feedback, but I'm a few days in and can't feel a difference (mine never really had the brake dip and the rake was fine, but I don't miss it because I'm not hauling a ton). No UCAs needed and my Toyota mechanic (and GM) assured me the warranty would continue to cover the truck (not the springs, of course).

 

Thanks for the before and after. Did you install sliders as well? Mind sharing which ones you went with?

 

Yah, wish I could’ve done it justice. Yes, the night before actually. I went with SOS because of the price and reputation, but their customer service and lead time (18 weeks!) leaves something to be desired.

 

To be clear, do you already have the Pro suspension on your OR? If not these springs won't fit

 

Good catch.

 

Yeah @5nahalf intimated that @Tacoalpastor111 would need the Pro suspension (like @5nahalf has done to his OR) but didn't say it explicitly

 

I just assumed he put pro suspension on his offroad since they mentioned the 1 inch lift the pro suspension provides to a stock offroad. Only people who swap know that little bit.

 

awesome thanks for the response. why would there be a vibration in 2wd and what does the need bearing do?

 

I have 2021 trd pro take offs that I plan to install on my Offroad.

 

On our trucks when you lift them past 2-3 inches the cv angle is a bit much and the needle bearings on the left side of the front diff go bad. The fix is to replace them with a bushing.

The sound goes away when you put it in 4wd and thats how you can quick diagnose the vibration.

Anyone know with some certainty if I can fit 33s on my truck now without any additional mods (trimming, etc.)?

 

I've got 285/75/16's on mine at stock height with the added weight of sliders. I only rub in a rare occurrence off-road. I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

Much appreciated. I just got quoted $1,250 for 4x falken wildpeaks...seem right, or keep shopping?

 

Price sounds about right for Wildpeaks.

 

You not getting a spare?

 

Eh, yah, I probably should. I hear those are good to have around.

 

for those who want to know.. i had my Eibach springs installed on my 2017 Fox oem Pro shocks.. i added a 1/4 inch top plate spacer. installed a 2 inch rear tapered block.. truck is perfectly level, all 4 sides.. alignment is near perfect with oem UCA'S, drives great, really happy with the outcome..

 

I had the Eibach Pro Lift Kit with the 1" block in the rear installed on 1/14/22 plus alignment. I have BFGoodrich KO2 285/75R16 on factory '19 Pro wheels which used to rub, but not anymore after the lift. I wanted my tires to stick out a little more so I bought some Method 701 in 16X8 with a 0 offset which brought my tires out past the fenders about a 1/2". I thought the truck rode kind of rough after the lift, but it was just Discount Tire airing my tires to 50 psi. I dropped it down to 32 ish psi and it's like a factory ride again.

 

Why the 1/4 top plate spacer? To fix taco lean or just on both sides for more lift?

Curious if these spring correct for taco lean or take that into account. If so is there a left vs right designation when they ship.

 

The Pro coilovers are side-specific and make up for the lean
