Yes just the stock Pro Shocks.

I really couldn't say on if it's different front to rear. The front rate was increased about 15%. I'm not sure on the rate of the factory rear springs but they are supposed to be good for only another 100# of load, so 20% may be a good guess.

3/ Aren't sway bar spacers necessary in the front? I mean, you have a Pro, so is that something that came standard from the factory? Or are sway bar spacers something only KDSS vehicles running 2.5 front shocks need to do?
I noticed Radflo 2.5 coilovers come with such spacers as do the Toytec ones (which maybe are just rebranded Radflos anyway).
|
Yes all of the 2.5" CO kits come with swaybar spacers. Since the Pros already have 3" CO springs then I guess they are not needed. That's a good question. Can't say that I even look at the SB clearance though.
The Toytec 2.5" Boss shocks are Readflos for sure.

Thanks!
I emailed Toytec to see who makes their rear reservoir shocks in the same kit since they look like nothing I have seen but they have not yet responded. It would make sense that they be Radflo but there is nothing like them on the R website. The coilovers do look the same sans the color even on pictures.
If they offer Radflo front and rear I may have to look more closely into them as they are also cheaper than Radflo branded shocks. Not sure I can get over the red and the huge BOSS lettering though LOL Also not sure if they come with customer-specific valving like Radflo branded shocks can.

No Problem.
Yeah I'm not sure who makes their 2.0 shocks either. I doubt Toytec offers them in custom valving though. That you probably have to go to Radflo directly, maybe a local radflo dealer or someone like Accutune. SSO is local to me and they really push Radflo as well. I came close to getting that Boss kit as well.

Remeasured today before heading to the tire shop to get the 285s installed.
Front has settled about 1/2" driver front and 1/4" on passenger. Rear has settled 0".

Yes I'm running 1.25" SpiderTrax spacers. Main reason I had to do the BMC and some aggressive bumper mods. Plus the Duratracs are pretty wide and aggressive on the outside edges.

Looks pretty awesome. Looks like the 599s give you a perfect stance.

Thanks! Yes they did. I'm glad you gave them up.

Man wouldn't it be cool if I could do a crawfish boil at the Summit!!! I'd need to put all of my equipment on a trailer though. LOL
Are you going?

Did this install myself a few days ago. Swapped out springs same way. Super easy and feels safe once you see it in action. Ended up at exactly where you are in the front. 22 5/8ths. For the rear springs I did the Bilstein B12 1.5-2”. Got slightly over 2”. Sitting 1” higher in the rear and looks perfect to me. Also put on some of the SPC UCA’s and got 4.5 caster. Those have to be the easiest UCA’s to install. It drives great! No Offroad yet but doesn’t feel any different than my 1” front and rear cornfed spacers. I’ll try to get a pic uploaded soon. Thanks for your advice btw. Definitely the way to get the most out of the Pro Suspension without spacers. 255’s or 285’s up next.

Glad it worked out for you. I have some SPCs that I need to put on a well, just haven't had time. What setting did you use for caster on the arms themselves?

I did setting D which added 2 degrees. That addition put me exactly where I wanted to be. Just over 4. You can easily hammer it out in an hour. 2 max.

@ Akkording
,
Did you ever measure your down travel stock? Or later? Or up travel?
I think stock non-Pro is supposed to be 8 total (7.8 to be precise) but I am not sure how it is split between up and down.
@ Bayou_Pro
, did you ever measure your up travel stock? Or now?
Stock Pro is supposed to get 0.75" of extra down travel (though most outlets round it up to 1").
I am getting 4.5" down travel in the front with 6112 at 2 and 4 and I am emphatically too lazy to measure up travel right now but I will update when I do.
