TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Bajas have 650lb coils

Have you thought of just using the ToyTec spring seat spacer? That's what I did when I put Dakars on and it gave it just a little rake.

 

I have looked into those but my truck has 45k miles so I'd like to replace the front shocks sooner than later. I already replaced the tears at 34k under extended warranty.

 

Full lift on 5100s should be about 2" from factory, so .25" higher than baja or pro factory settings.

 

What back spacing/wheel spacer size are the 35" guys running? And do you have pictures of your cab mount chop to fit 35s?

 

Stock wheels

 

I can snap some pics later, but my CMC pretty much just has a sheet of metal thickness in the front of the cab mount. Mine is boxed around it, but you need to remove as much as possible if you don't want to rub while cycling. I don't have spacers up front though since Im LT, but I would have ran 1.5 inch if I was MT.

 

I had 4.1" BS and a pretty decent CMC. I wheeled my truck pretty hard and never had any rubbing. No sway bar and had them fully stuffed/turned many times.

 

I am thinking of ordering the parts for 35s and my Chevy 63 swap soon

 

I had 70k+ on my fronts and only replaced them with Kings because they wouldn't work with Total Chaos Lower Control Arms.
Still using the original rears at 75k+ but I want to replace them with Kings soon anyway.

 

Nice man...one of my rears died almost exactly at 75k! Not much later though I started modding the truck so they didn't matter.

 

Im planning on doing 12" kings with resi and the BAMF relocation towers

I love looking at the front suspension though

 

You make me proud with the TC LCAs! That's what I currently have on mine, but with the clickers on the 12" kings. Its a great set up for MT, but Im going to be cutting all of it off in a month to go full LT.

 

I may go LT someday. Had to rebuild the front end because I bent my spindle and LCA wheeling.
Didn't quite have the extra 2k for LT so went full MT for now.

 

Nothing wrong with that...you got kings and TC which can always sell for some good coin. Being in Socal makes it a good chance it will be in decent shape too, should that day come. Would you go SUA in the rear or stay SOA?

 

I am more into the technical trails then the go fast stuff so I would probably just stay SOA.
Which is funny since I put the S/C on it which is a 100% go fast item.

Running Dakars in the back right now.

Currently thinking of doing gears and adding a front locker and doing 35's but I have dropped a lot of coin this year already on the truck.

 

Nice rig man, I have interest in possibly getting an S/C, but until I move out west where it can breathe better I have held off. Some guys over here are dedicated crawlers with the S/C and to be honest it will be interesting to see how things are this summer when the heat will be out. I like tech trails as well, but lucky for me SUA hasn't ever been an issue with crawling as my skids would likely rub before hand assuming you drive over stuff instead of trying to scoot by.

I hear ya on gears and dirties as I just did that at the end of the year and went LT up front at the beginning of last year. I think especially if you have 35s, then height isn't that big of a deal regardless of your set up.

 

New 2nd Gen Pro owner chiming in with a question. I’d like to run 285/75 KO2s on the OEM beadlock wheels but I fear I need a little more suspension height than the truck has now.

I’d like to keep the Pro Bilstein set up. Does anyone have experience with the Toytec spacer kit to gain an extra 1” of lift? Thinking about it along with the Toytec AAL. Thoughts?

 

You don’t need the 1” toytec spacer in front to run 285’s with this lift......but it will look better. You can opt to do what I did and just do 1/2” top plates from toytec instead. For the rear, I’d go with icon or wheelers progressive aal.
Here is mine before the added 1/2”but with the rear aal

 

Either way, you will have to do a little trimming , very minor to the front thin plastic of the wheel well. Also you will have remove the mud flaps.

 

Are you running aftermarket UCAs with the added lift or no issues with alignment?
