2020 TRD Pro (Lifted via Eibach/Coachbuilder/Dirt King)

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago I was able to drop my truck off at the good folks down at Baja HQ to upgrade my 2020 Trd Pro. I am very happy with the results. From the way the truck handles both on road and off road, to the looks.

Installed Parts: Eibach TRD Pro Tundra 19-21 Front Lift Springs, Coachbuilder +3 Shackles with poly bushings, Coachbuilder carrier bearing drop kit, Coachbuilder Steering upgrade kit, Bora 1.25" spacers, Dirt King UCA, Wheelers Superbumps (front and rear).

Suspension: These springs are a direct replacement for your Fox coilover springs. Eibach claims a 1.8" increase in height. My truck netted around 1.5" (measured center hub to fender) in the front, and about 1.5" in the rear (measured hub to center). I think the rear is slightly higher but barely maybe .1-.2 at most. The result is a very leveled looking truck. The springs are a taller and stiffer (but by like maybe 20-30lbs). Eibach told me the springs are 620lbs, and as far as ive seen the pro has 600, but maybe i'm wrong on this. I feel like the vehicle has maybe 15% less break dive, and corners just a little bit flatter than before (this is with sway bar on, which I have removed since). The rear feels less bouncy and much smoother over bumps. I'm confident that if i pushed the bumper forward with the Coachbuilder shims I have, I could clear a 35" tire with the right offset.

Offroad: I wanted to make sure I wrote this up after I went offroading. I gotta say the way it handles offroad is definitely better. I still get that smooth feeling the Fox Pro stuff gives you offroad, but just a little more planted. We ran some washes at 45-50 mph and it felt great. No weird popping noises or anything to suggest suspension geometry was off or anything like that.

Here's some photos!

In one of these photos you can see bumpstop spacers that come with the Coachbuilder kit. Those DONT work with this kit, so dont use them unless you're running the coachbuilder coilover shim. I removed them. They limited the articulation like crazy and were coming into contact way too soon. Just FYI.

 

Threw mine on finally on Monday and took it out today and it felt great. Felt the same as you described, a little less body roll and perfect off road. Yielded about the same height as the Westcott, but definitely happier with the overall ride

 

Looks good @RegGex

 

Did you put on the long steering upgrade kit or regular?

 

THe lift looks perfect. Any issues with the +3 shackles and stock leaf springs?

 

Do I need to consider the 2” level that the pro provides plus the 1.8” lift for a aftermarket UCA? Been looking for this for a while.

 

nope.

 

Looks great! And yes you can fit 35's without a BMC. I have the coachbuilder bumer shims and fit them fine. My offset is +25 on the methods. Nice truck!

 

Did you have to go to aftermarket UCA's?

 

Yes. Any lift over 2” should have UCA’s regardless of what the internet experts keep saying

 

Gotcha. Just wondering with the new coils as it seems the same height as the Westcott and they said new UCA's weren't necessary. Have the Bilstein/Dirt King ones ordered anyhow.

 

have any hub to fender measurements by chance?

looks great!

 

@COTundra23 i don’t, but i can get them for you if you want. Let me know.

 

That would be awesome! Thanks! Need to know if it’ll still fit in the garage

 

Have you had any issues with topping out/ hard rebounding issues on the front shocks?

 

Following up on this! Any measurements are great. Thanks
