TRD questions.

So... I wanna put all the TRd suspension stuff. Swaybars, Front and Rear, Trd brakes, Shocks, and the cold air intake on my 2008 with 138,000 miles. Is this too much to spend on this truck or will it help? I am installing my 2015 Trd wheels with 33in Toyo AT’s in like 2 weeks after i get parts of the truck painted. And i will have to do the 3/1 level to fit these. So thoughts? i’m 17 almost 18 and so it’s gonna be a huge investment.

 

I’d guess the real questions are, the mods your planning on doing are they cost effective for the money you want to spend.
Just because the TRD products are good, some aftermarket parts may be better for the money.
Not to knock the OEM parts, as many of us already have a ton of them.
You can price check parts through signing up at Cool Springs Toyota or Sparks Parts Toyota.
There’s many vendors on this site that have great deals and some offer group buys for discounts.
That’s my 2 cents.
Good luck with your builds and try to look for threads that cover your question.

 

Do a real suspension setup vs a 3/1 spacer lift....toytec lifts is a good place to start. That will give you new shocks, etc. I'd keep stock type brakes, just use good rotors/pads. Cold air intake will offer no benefit performance wise. Rear swaybar addition will help with road manners and cornering, towing. At 138k miles, your truck should have plenty of life left. At that mileage however your suspension components and shocks have done their job so why not replace with a lift setup....they likely need replacing anyway.

 

Parents are only letting me do a Level. and i already have the front. Just need the back. But i would love a lift but it’s not affordable rn. and I like the leveled look

 

a front lift...up to about 2 inches is what you call a "level" It raises the front of the truck to be level to the rear. However a complete front lift includes shock and everything you need to do it correctly.

 

So? I have to replace my shocks because they are worn out. so with the 3 in front blocks and 1 in rear blocks? any suggestions on what to get?

 

with 3 inch spacer lift you will need upper control arms to get alignment right. Just get stock replacement shocks. Or, as I suggested earlier, get a 2-3 inch front lift and it will include all the parts you need. Do a search for Toytec lifts. They have reasonable priced lifts, good quality....for just a little more than what you would spend for a spacer lift and front shocks.
