Don't be a fool, slap a spacer on that shit. You spent an extra 5000 for that suspension anyway

It's called Sloan. I always go up there to go shooting. I took my truck up there stock when I first purchased it and it made it just fine.

People always go straight to a lift to run larger tires and it is not really required. You need the tires to clear at full compression (which really won't change with a lift). It comes down to alignment and a little plastic trimming.

The lift usually makes sense though, because the additional approach and departure clearance is a huge bonus offroad.

It should be pretty easy to clear 33s on a TRD pro with no additional lift. Might require aftermarket UCAs though (which you will want for more lift anyway).

I may do the UCAs later in any upgrades. The toytec kit is already on its way and I should be able to have it installed by the end of the week. Larger tires will be next, but I think I'll wait until the current rubber is exhausted.

Just to update everyone. Received and installed the toytec kit today. Fits like a glove, rides great, and now I'm sitting 2 inches higher. For those that have the trdpro and want the lift without the sacrifice....this is the way to go. The front spacers are not like the others out there. It's divided into 2 (top and bottom) and reduces the compression you'd get from a traditional spacer. It's exactly what I wanted, and now 285s won't be a problem.

Thanks for following up. Would you be able to post a pic?

Do I simply add a kit like the daystar DYT-KT09134BK-3 or the REVTEK REV-432X-3?
Or do I completely remove the TRD suspension and replace it with an icon, king, or fox setup.

Really would like to have 33's on it, but at the same time didn't want to remove the TRD from the Pro.

Curious as to what you do, 16 TRD Pro here in Vegas as well. Let me know if you want to run some dusty trails.

The guy who helped me with this goes on runs all the time. Told him to let me know whens the next time he goes. There is a t4r group here in town, but they don't ever seem to meet up so most of the time he goes with the FJs. I can let you know when I go to meet up with them.

Sounds great, Im off every weekend and looking to get some run runs in. Still trying to take it easy, not sure I want to replace bumpers with only 2k miles on the car.

Here's a side view of the lift with original wheels. I don't think it looks bad, but would probably look better with 285s. We'll see what the prices are on black Friday.

I'm happy with no rubbing.
Nice name btw, I trained in Shaolin for a couple years when I was younger. Anyhow, my spidertrax were just delivered, but I really didn't want to trim the fender liners if possible. I also want to add the 3/4 top spacer to basically level it out also. My question is, did you install the spacer and spidertrax at the same time or one before the other? I want to install the spidertrax this weekend, but if it means no rubbing with the top spacer, I will just order that and wait to do it all at once. Thanks for your help, you've got a solid set up going on so far!
