    You'll find the rear shocks very easy to install. The front coilovers are a little more difficult and more than likely will require an alignment after install.

    Is it bed bounce? Is it all the time or on certain roads or highways? If you're planning on upgrading to the Pro suspension, I would go test drive a new Pro first. A free test to see if it makes any difference before pouring more money into it which may or may not fix the problem. Also try putting a couple of hundred pounds of stuff in the bed and see if it makes any difference. And definitely try airing down a little bit.

    Hey Allen, here's the instructions for the TRD Pro suspension kit.
    IMO the front coil-overs are not a driveway job. But at least you can read and decide for yourself.
    The install steps for the front would (in general) apply to any brand pre-assembled coil-over, i.e. with the spring installed and compressed.
    Same for the rear, but these are shock absorbers, not coil-overs.

    Best Regards,

    Another advantage to the pro suspension as a complete package is the toyota engineering that went into the design tuning everything for optimal performance on this specific truck. For a lot of motor heads and wrench turners it's a bummer it's not easily tinkered with. Yes I believe that you can do this yourself. Toyota has issued some 'how to ' videos on installing all of the various Pro specific components on non pro trucks.

    What did you end up going with? My honest opinion about the Bilstein TRD Pro suspensions that came on my 2016, is that they are the absolute roughest suspension I’ve driven on. Hitting city pot holes shake up the entire truck violently and I only have 33k miles on my truck. I get pretty jealous when my girlfriends 2013 Hyundai Elantra goes through the pot holes as if it were riding on clouds. I just expected a lot more I guess. I need to test a 2019 TRD Pro to see if the Fox suspensions have better dampening abilities than the Bilstein
