Rear Spacer 2022 TRD PRO

As I peruse the web and this forum for the past year I have not found a rear spacer for the TRD PRO outside of the WestScott Designs. I've been tempted to go that route on several occasions but would like to avoid the stiffer ride. My goal is to place a 2" spacer lift in the front and rear, for the purpose fitting 34-35" tires and to make the truck look a little better. I know I can find options for the front but has anyone found a 2" spacer for the rear for a TRD PRO?

 

You want a lift? I believe guys are running 34-35” tires on stock height.

 

Yes I still a lift, a little more ground clearance would be nice, I've ripped off my two front steps on some rocks while hunting so I'd like to get as high as I can and still fit in the garage. Thanks for the heads up on the rear link arms and track bar. I'll look into the rear spacer from Toyota.

 

Quick update. After taking Ryans advice I called my local yota dealer and they do sell the rear spacers separate from the 3" lift kit. It's a two inch spacer for the rear and according to Toyota, after an hour on the phone, he doesn't see an issue with the link arms or track bar, only the brake lines and the speed sensor line. Let me know if he is missing something and if I end up installing the two-inch rear spacer, I'll keep you all posted on how this option works.

 

Post installation update on the 3rd gen Tundra Pro 2" spacer lift: For the Front I installed a 2" MotoFab 2" Front Leveling Kit purchased from Trailbuilt out of WI. The Aluminum spacer is actually at exactly 1" which lifts the body 2" which it did as advertised. It fit just perfect after clocking the strut to match the holes. The holes line up one way only and the holes on the outside of the strut mount are the spaced the closest together. The front and back are spaced different as is the space between the inside holes, it can only fit one direction and the best reference I found was using the two closest holes as the outside of the strut to match the outside two closest holes on the strut mount. Without a spring compressor it would be difficult to rotate to the precise location in order to fit.

I also installed a blue SumoSpring Solo Custom Helper Spring from E-trailer to replace the factory bump stop so as to decrease pressure from the 1 inch increased travel the spacer applies to the strut/shock. Probably not necessary since I only added an inch, I had thought I was actually adding a 2" spacer when I purchased the SumoSpring but installed in any way.

For the Rear I purchased through my local Toyota dealer the 2" rear spacers out of the factory 3" TRD lift kit and the 2" longer bump stop from this same kit. Both were ridiculously expensive but well made. The rear spacer needs to be actually 2" as the spacer sits directly under the rear axial in contrast to the angled extension out to the front wheel as is the geometry in the front. Toyota did not have the extended break lines from their TRD lift kit so I purchased 14"extended lines from Yota Mafia. The rear installation went much quicker than the front as you simply undo the all attachment to the rear axial and us lift jacks to lift the body high enough to slip in the spacer.

Front: extended brake lines and 2" (1") MotoFab Spacer
Rear: extended brake lines, 2" TRD Toyota rear spacer (which simply creates a new saddle for the coil spring to sit against) and TRD lift kit Extended bump stops. I kept the same TRD PRO suspension.

Finally I did change out my Falcon Wildpeaks that came with the truck as after 17,000 miles had worn down the tread and rock punctured one tire beyond repair to Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 35X12.50R18 or better said 305/70R18. Those tires lifted the truck an additional 1.5" as the stock tires measure 33.4" so a ~3" difference which translates to 1.5" added height/clearance. For garage fitting purposes my total height gain at my antenna fin after the two inch spacer lift and the 1.5" tire size increase, was skosh over 3". I sit exactly at 81" at that fin with my tires inflated at 35 PSI. My garage is 82", just like I had hoped. A 3" clearance doesn't sound like much, but since my break over angle caused most of my previous scrapes I'm hoping for a few less now. That 3" has made a huge difference on the look and my hop up into the truck, especially since I've knocked off my predator steps on boulders.

The 35" tires are much heavier than the Wildpeaks and have knocked down my milage by 4-5 miles per gallon. That however is not acurate as my truck thinks I'm traveling 5 miles an hour slower than my GPS and radar indicators clock me at. My math abilities are not up to the calculations but my milage per hour is off so I'm hoping my miles per gallon has not suffered as much as it seems. I'll have to figure out how to adjust for that in the near future. The tire size increase is worth it none the less as my truck spends a lot of time on rough roads and deep snow.

The ride feels the same after a front end alignment which was badly needed after install. The tires are louder but not enough to notice without a side by side comparison. I've yet to drive in adverse conditions to compare performance but expect considerable improvement over stock.

It took a little effort and money but cost less than (if you don't count the crazy expensive Mickey Thompsons) the new front bumper and less time to install. And less again than the Westscott rocksliders I just ordered. Very much worth the effort and decreased gas milage.
