Not a chance. I think the overall front shock body is way too long.

following...., I was thinking about the same.
I was leaning towards the following in the front:
•Toytec 1" lift (1/2" actual) perch spacers under the TRD spring
• 1/4" (1/4" actual, 1/2" lift) top plate spacers
along with the new shocks (1" lift?) should add up to 2.5" front lift if the math actually translates to the real world.
Then for the rear possibly the T13 spring (1/"2 lift) to go along with the 5160's (1" lift ?) should equal 1.5" lift in the rear. Possibly add a 10mm trim pack spacer to the driver's side.
Anyone see any compatibility issues or flaws in my attempt at logic?
If all the above would work I would also ask if it would be beneficial to go ahead and put on the longer rear end links from a 2nd gen?

I got the dobinson 599 with the trd pro kit he told me its 1” lift but it lifted my rear more than that i dont like it its way too high. i dont have any front or rear spacers to correct the lean, front shocks set at 2nd perch. I would like to sell the 599 and get t13 instead if im only gaining 1/2 inch.
I'm sure there will be some variation between vehicles, but I called Wheelers and Kelly (who was very helpful) said the T13 would give around 1/2" on our 4th gens - I think some have reported a little more, may be V6/V8 dependent and also varied depending on what setup is in front.
After further investigation the kit includes the rear upper bushings below the frame bracket that have the "hook"...looks like theres a small hole on the frame mounting location on each side to accommodate it.
However , it did not include the top most bushing that sits on top of the shock mounting bracket (frame).

How much did you gain up front and in the rear? You mentioned more than 1" in the rear.
I'm going with C59-505.

Has anyone used OME springs on the 6112's (TRD or regular version), seems like a set of 884's or 885's on the 6112 with the perches at one of the lower settings could work nicely to get 2-3" of lift with pre-loading the crap out of the springs...
Why doesn't Bilstein sell the 6112's without springs anyway?

I just picked up a TRD Pro front suspension for my 4th gen. My current setup is FJ springs and shocks all around with the Daystar 2.5/1.5 spacer kit. Can I keep the daystar 2.5 spacer up front with the TRD suspension or will it be too high? If I take off the front spacer i'm afraid it wont be high enough. Any input appreciated.

Well, that fraking sucks. Appreciate the reply, however.

On a serious note I think the kit was on sale new from Toyota this summer for a little over $500 (or $560?) new. Take-offs are always of lesser value, but it would seem that a set in great condition for $350 could be a good deal for both parties if these are actually desirable parts for 4th gen swaps?
