Wanted to share my experience with the TRD Pro suspension in case others decide to pursue this option. I found the complete suspension including UCA's, rear arms, panhard locally for $1k off a 200mi 2016 TRD Pro. The modifications listed below are the only items I had to change, the TRD Specific part numbers are detailed as well. This is only intended as a reference document, I'm assuming you know how to install suspension, if not there are a number of forum threads and youtube how-to's available that cover that.

Modifying Parts:
PLEASE NOTE! USING A 1" DRILL BIT TO WIDEN THIS HOLE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, USE CAUTION!!!!
Alternated between 1-1/8" step bit and 1" regular using light pressure so the bit didn't snag and break my wrist.
It fits! Also note the hole for the alignment tab and resevoir already existed.
The front shock is too wide for the mount. I decided it would be better to trim the shock instead of the mount to retain the mounts original strength.
Gently trim/grind back about 1/16" of material on each side. I tried a grinding wheel, but found the cutting blade in horizonal position worked best.
Fits perfectly now. Be sure to alternate sides when trimming and ensure symmetry
Ride height after completion and test drive. Will grab better shots later...
