TRD Pro Suspension Upgrades

I got my 2020 army green trd pro in October and I’ve been off-roading and overlanding it every chance I get. One issue I’ve run into is I frequently bottom out or drag the receiver. I have a diamond back HD cover and a heavy roof top tent mounted above it. I’d like to keep the fox suspension for now but install a better spring for heavy overlanding loads. I’m planning to run the 255/85/16 skinny tires for now.

I’d love to maintain the cushy ride and carry heavier loads. Is this possible?

Is “search” a replacement suspension for the fox or will it work with my current setup?

 

By spring do you mean leaf spring? Sounds like you may want an add-a-leaf. Slides in factory leaf pack that should keep the rear end from sagging less. Or are you wanting to lift it? Could do a 2" spacer up front and add-a-leaf for 1" in the rear! Hit up @HeadStrong Off-Road they can get you setup!

 

Try a new atlas leaf pack, an AAL, or a sumo spring. Or a sumo spring and aal.

 

Thanks guys! I'll research those options and hitup HeadStrong. I really appreciate it!

 

I ordered the all pro add a leaf from wheelers. Part number 4500T-3AAL

hopefully it doesn’t cause too much rake. I know they make 1” front lifts for the trd pro suspension. Some are spacers and some aren’t. So we’ll see if that’s something I should add too.

 

Before you increase your spring rate, read this

How much extension do the rear shocks have? If they don't have the room, you'll ruin the rears over extending.

 

I'm new to offroad stuff but I think the add a leaf just stiffens up the spring pack so it shouldn't add any real "lift" it's just riding higher in its stock travel. But I'm a car guy and I know nothing about leaf springs so we'll see

 

Best article I've seen so far. Thank you for sharing this!

 

The AAL will most likely provide lift. That may be ok, just make sure the shocks have the room. I don't know what their range it.
