TRD Pro Suspension on SR5s?

Hey fellas,

I don't see much mention of the TRD Pro suspension setups being put on SR5s to level the front. This common practice? Or am I not seeing it since there are better options around the same price? I can only imagine there are some floating around with some of the Pro guys going with top dollar suspension setups.

Thanks!

I might have answered my own question. Started looking at buying it new - and at +$2k... forget about it. I thought it was like a cheap upgraded strut/spring similar to a 5100 setup.

 

Yep, you answered your own question. There are plenty of better and/or comparable options that are cheaper than a pro suspension setup!

Not to mention a good bit of the aftermarket options are adjustable...the pro is not.
Big incentive to buy aftermarket in my eyes.

 

Right. I posted the question too soon. Took about 2 minutes to realize that while it's a sweet setup, I wouldn't buy it over any of the Toytec options.

Thanks!

 

Hell, for the prices I've seen PRO suspension going for you could damn near buy ADS 3.0's. Even I were to buy a PRO I think I'd upgrade suspension too.

 

loving my BOSS setup!

 

Thats my end game. Saving now! I keep trying to come up with a short term cheap solution but all paths lead to just waiting for Toytec BOSS.

 

definitely the right path to take!! spend once cry once! LOL

invested in a spacer lift.......6 months later i was ponying up for the Boss coilovers!
live and learn!

 

While I have your attention - did you upgrade UCAs? I did a 3in ICON on my FJ Cruiser without UCAs and coulden't get alignment back into perfect spec.

 

And - I see you list having only done the front? So you left rear stock and used the adjustable front BOSS coils to level?

Thanks!

I don't have UCA's but can't get alignment perfect, it's close...damn close. Camber (or is it caster) is the only thing that's off by 1* from stock.

about to get UCA's in a couple months though! figure it can't hurt and can only improve the ride/handling.

oh no I do have a 1' block in the rear along with BOSS rear resi's. Once I get bigger tires, i'm cranking the front up another half inch or so and getting a 1.5' icon leaf pack. That won't be for a while though, since I just bought my Toyo AT2's in 33's last summer

Front coilovers are cranked to 3" and rears are at 1"

 

Appreciate the chat. Another one of my suspension threads ending with me waiting to get a Toytec BOSS setup . No more new suspension threads for me! Ill just wait patiently.

Thanks,
Jim

 

anytime brother!! post up pics when you get your BOSS setup!!
