TRD Pro Suspension on ORP w/ KDSS

Sorry if its already been said already but i cant seem to find the answer im looking for searching here and by googling.

I recently picked up a set of used '18 TRD Pro Suspension for my '18 ORP w/ KDSS. I can see that the Passenger side perch is lower than the Driver side. Am i suppose leave it the way it is or should i move it up to match the driver side? I see that a few people w/ KDSS who purchased the "Bilstein TRD Pro suspension kit on sale PTR13-35140" has moved theirs to the top. I believe the ones that was for sale and the ones that come on the 4runner's are different?? Also, does anyone know if the suspension i picked up is suppose to give me a lift all around or just the fronts? Thanks in advance!

Set both sides to the top notch and it will give you about an inch in the front only.

I was wondering this too - so TRD Pro springs installed in the rear of an Off Road P won't raise the height over the stock springs? I was thinking of a used Pro set versus say 1.5-2" Toytecs.

that was going to be my next question. he also gave me his rear springs from the TRD PRO and they look like my OEM ORP.

so i got the suspension installed. took me about 1.5 hours ish and it looks like its pretty solid.

vehicle is sitting leveled in the garage and im curious about the rear shocks.. are the boots suppose to scrunched up this much? its overlapping at the bottom. just want to make sure if thats how its suppose to be or my shocks are blown. i forgot to measure before and after.

Yea it’s okay if they overlap. I gained .5in after my install.

No, if anything they would be less compressed compared to stock Bc they have more charge than the stock tokico shocks and the KDSS piston is in a charged system.

I have ran TRD pro shocks for about 45,000 miles with KDSS. No issues with a lot of abuse.

thanks man. i was only curious because i asked someone to send me pictures of their rear struts on their trd pro and his didnt overlap that much and the boot was still straight. none the less, it rides great and no problems.
