I contacted toytec before about installing their SuperFlex HD 200lbs rear springs and they said i'd need to get a different rear shock to safely use the heavier springs.
If i go with the 300lbs springs for the kit will my rear trd pro Bilstein shocks be able to handle it?

Good to know our efforts aren't in vein. Thank you for the update, haha!
We have not confirmed fitment/ride quality on the Bilstein TRD Pro's, so we can't say what their capabilities are.
Is it the lift or the damping they're concerned about? I could see a heavily preloaded longer spring keeping you in the top-out zone on the shock, but a combination of rate and height adjustment should allow you to fine tune that sweet spot on the shock where you're not over extended at static, and not droopy drawers. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer!
