guys, i've never done a spacer lift, i've only replaced the entire suspension system for lifting the vehicle. My question is, could this damage the coil bucket or any other components over time? My TRD PRO will be arriving this weekend and i'm trying to get an idea of how to properly lift it without losing the TRD suspension.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the slow reply everyone - it's been a crazy week.
Thanks man! Now that the correct size tires are on, I like it even more hahaha. The shop didn't even apologize or anything. I sat waiting for my truck and they acted like nothing happened...pretty awful service. I may have to leave a Yelp review and warn people.
Sure no problem! I got my 275s put on yesterday so I'll try to get out there and measure them this weekend. You just want from the top of the tire to bottom of fender?
I just put the Smittybilt D-Ring pin through the stock hooks mounted to the frame.
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it at all. I ran spacers on my 2006 SR5 for like 8 years and never had a single issue. However, on my 2006 SR5 I did notice that the ride got a lot stiffer, I had more body lean, etc. Overall I sacrificed ride quality but it looked a lot better so it was worth it to me. On my TRD Pro that is not the case whatsoever. I didn't notice a single change in ride quality, body lean, etc. It drives exactly the same so I wouldn't worry about it. However, I only did 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear to give me a total of 2.5/1 because of the TRD Pro 1" already. My 2006 was 3/2 with a 1" body lift so the springs were compressed more which probably contributed to the change in ride quality. As long as you don't put huge spacers in there I wouldn't worry about the ride quality or issues with parts.
Here's an updated photo with 4 of the same sized tires lol. I love how this sits now!

On a 2005 just add 2 inches in the front and it will be level.

Samster, did you ever get your drl's that you ordered from aiden James? I ordered mine at the end of March and now I'm not getting any response at all...

I hear you man. I ordered mine back in February. Waited patiently for the 4-6 week window. Didn't hear anything so I emailed at the 8 week mark. They finally got back to me stating they are a one man operation etc so I told them that I understood and my only frustration was the poor communication/customer service. I waited until earlier this month and sent out more emails. No response. I called my credit card and they issued me a refund. Needless to say, I was done being patient. Even if it is a great looking product, I was done dealing with them. Absolutely no faith in the final product if something were to go wrong. Their guarantee meant nothing after waiting almost 5 months. Sorry for my rant.

So crazy... same exact deal with me. I've told him the same the one time he did reply. I would have been fine if he would of just communicated with me. Looks like I'll be getting a hold of PayPal. Its too bad because it's people like him that make it hard to order from a small business on the internet. Thanks for getting back to me brother... cheers!

Nice to see some other people doing mild lifts with the turd pro suspension. I have zero rubbing with 255/80/17 (true 33's) skinnies with stock trd pro suspension. Going to put a Icon 2" coil in the rear with a toytec 1" spacer in front for some extra lift though...

Yea I'll be getting the 2" lift, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Toytec has one for around $400. Toyota wants 1K to do it, but I'll keep my warranty

Hello. Just stumbled across these messages. What are the names on the orders? I am the owner and the only person doing everything with Aiden James Customs and have a full time day job as a Toyota Tech too. I am very sorry if I have failed to respond. I have been extremely overwhelmed as I receive hundreds of emails a day with questions/etc and simply just can't keep up. I had help starting however, they got seriously injured and now will be doing rehab for who knows how long as they slit every artery and tendon in their arm working on a Prius. I would like to make it right if I can have the chance. My name is Scott. Feel free to email me at [email protected] so I can work to earn your trust back. Again, I greatly apologize!

Samster and quicksand. I had the same issues with Aiden James Customs on the DRLs. I waited almost 12 weeks before finally reaching out to Scott on no product or responses. To his credit he did respond and offered to remedy the situation. I just received my DRLs this last week and can not wait to put them on over holiday weekend.
Toyota Tech aka Scott, thanks for getting these out, and oh by the way it looks like I will be the first Cement Pro to have DRLs!

I cannot thank you enough for your patience. I have been so overwhelmed with orders of these I couldn't/can't keep up and nor could toyota in getting me the bezels. I know it sucks too that I haven't been able to keep up with communication and I am trying to remedy that as well. I'm sure you'll like them when they are installed. Take care!

I will send you pictures when they are installed. Also if you want to get with me about my factory bezels, we can work out getting those to you as quickly as possible.
