Measured my 19 pro yesterday. In terms of added weight, I have c4 sliders, c4 steel gas skid, and rci alum skids. My center of hub to fender measurements were:
Front dr and pass are both 20.25”
Read dr 21.5”
Rear pass 22.0”
Wonder if i am sagging 0.5” in the front...

Do you have Spidertrax? Also, can you take a picture showing the stance with the 285s? Trying to decide if I really need 285s with this setup and if the stance will look good.

No spacers at the moment. I have it in the shop getting new pads but ill shoot you a pic later tonight. I was thinking about going with 1" spacers, but it sits pretty flush with the fenders as is.
how are you liking those tires? whats the noise like and what were you using before?

Loving them so far. Handled mud like a champion, even had to rescue my buddy who was on Bfg KO2's. Only had them on since Friday, little noisy on the freeway, here in Texas that's like 70-80 mph. I was on stock 265 coopers so the ride is a bit noisier/rougher but nothing to turn me off from purchasing again.

I'm on 285's now and love it.
Thanks, I know as soon as the lift in installed I’m going to want bigger tires lol. Not really wanting to buy new wheels as I dig the TRD Pro ones, more concerned with flushness to the fender. Spidertrax do the trick for now on 265s.

What happened to the expected 1.8" of lift?
I have benefited from many of you as I decided on a route for suspension. I thought I would share my experience as everyone's configuration and use scenario is different. This is more of a shock review than lift. In my case, I stayed with stock tire size (265 KO2 C on TRD SEMA wheels). In terms of additional weight, I have Al RCI skids from engine through transfer case (no fuel skid) and RSG sliders.
I am initially focused on armor, sliders and tires as I don't intend on a larger lift for some time. I was looking for rake reduction and more importantly better handling on and off road with shocks capable of accommodating a future lift. I have driven 200k miles combined on 5100s in a 2003 T4R and a 2006 Tundra. No complaints, but I was encouraged by Eibach reviews reporting more compliance on initial impacts through valving. I installed Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks front and rear, fronts at + 0.8" with OEM SR5 springs all around.
I have put 600 miles of mixed highway driving on the Eibachs including two-lane mountain roads. No off-road miles as of yet. Too much snow. My expectations were modest. Results are better than expected. My vehicle is easier and more comfortable to drive, period. They are less harsh than the Bilsteins. Body roll and nose dive are less severe (compared to stock) and stability through corners and over road imperfections has improved.
I also think it is important to note variables. Mine is a 2019 with 6000 miles that had wheels and tires changed at 900 miles without a fresh alignment and has been through a season of off-roading last summer. While I didn't notice anything suggesting alignment issues prior to the shock swap, a good alignment (which was done after shock swap) can make a difference in terms of drivability, possibly affecting before and after perceptions.
Thanks to Ryan for consultation and smooth order fulfillment.

I will in July
. SSO bumper with high clearance going on. 2017 Pro (Currently have RSG Sliders and Gobi Rack)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
2019 With a Victory 4x4 aluminum Blitz bumper and a Smittybuilt 12K winch.
Weighed about 100 pounds total, wiring and all. Less the weight of the factory "bumper".
Front end currently still has all stock suspension components.

I called you guys about a week ago and I asked about red coils but the guy said there were no plans.
Will you have red coils for the pro kit soon? I really want to go with a red coil.
Thanks

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the red coils are only for the FOX Pro suspension.
