TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

No no.....just speaking hypothetical. Still love it too much.

 

Haha you tease!

 

Check out @ScenicCityOverland 's thread about him rescuing an Inferno Pro from the salvage yard:

Hey, that's my old rack on that truck.

 

Looks like they're blowing out the last stock of the Pro suspension, huge price drop into the $500s now and they're going fast. Anyone want to get a spare set to use down the road?

Just ordered a TRD Pro suspension kit for my 2014 OR. I've been here long enough I know how to use the search function but have read some contradictory comments and would like to try and clear some things up for myself.

I'm thinking of putting in the ToyTec 1/2" top plate space instead of the ToyTec spring spacer as I've read the spring spacer is essentially pre loading the springs and I'd like to not compromise the ride in any way. Are the studs long enough to accept this? I've read the studs are only long enough for the 1/4 spacer. Will I have a good chance of getting my alignment in spec with that much lift or will I need after market UCA's?

I'm thinking of going with a 1.5" progressive AAL with overload left in which will net a 2" rear lift. Some say you can pull this off, some say the shocks aren't meant for this length and can only handle a one inch lift. How's the ride with the overload left in?

Anyone with pics of this setup or similar would be greatly appreciated!

 

If you got the pro kit and not the Baja kit, adding the coil seat spacer is probably a better option. It’s designed to work with that specific shock and it won’t preload it too much. Basically, it’d be like running the 650 pound springs vs the 600. you might need a UCA adding an extra inch of lift, but my guess is a good alignment shop will be able to get you close enough. If you experience any bump steer after the alignment, go ahead and get them. Just my .02

 

I did the top plate 1/4”....it works. Rear shocks should be fine with the overload.

 

Thanks. Think there is enough space in the studs for a 1/2"?

 

$500s?!

Wow.. I feel like an idiot for turning down the $500-600 offers I was getting for my used kit when I pulled mine off.

 

On the Pro kit did anyone switch out the front bump stops to the shorter?

 

I believe it does, another member put them on if I’m not mistaken @Dave41079

 

You have to replace the studs, which is really easy. I did have to add UCAs, but that could have been the tech doing the alignment as much as the parts.

I also have Dakars with the extra leaf and an overload removed in the rear with my Pro shocks and they're fine. I could use more down travel, but no complaints. I ran the progressive AAL's for a while too, but needed more load capacity.

 

Love your build man. What studs did you end up using?

 

Thanks. Toytec has extended studs just for that application, but I don't remember if they're included with the 1/2" top plate or not.

 

Thanks man! It's been a fun rebuild for sure! First Tacoma, and so far I'm in love!

 

Looking at the specs for 5160's, I think it should be fine, but can anyone confirm the stock bump stops and brake lines are fine with Dakar/OME leafs? Preferably from someone who's truck has seen a bunch of articulation.

 

Killer deal I want it to add the 1/4 top plate spacer, so might as well go with everything new. couldn't resist for that price.

 

Stock length shock i assume?

 

Not just stock length, the actual factory Baja or Pro shock.
