1.5/1 with 275s OR 2/1.5 with 285s

I have a stock 2018 TRD Pro and looking for something to make it stand out from other Pros without sacrificing too much fuel economy or wet weather performance.

I was thinking of either

1.5/1.0 Cornfed spacers and 275/70/17

OR

2/1.5 Cornfed spacers and 285/70/17


I have a few concerns, I do not want to replace the UCAs, Pro wheels, significantly impact ride quality, longevity or safety. Also, I've read the stock Pro wheels are 7" wide and 285/70/17 require 7.5" minimum.

What does Jason typically recommend? Any regrets of going too big, or not big enough?

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, you just caught me. I'd do the 2/1.5 on your Pro. No concern for UCA's, nothing extra is needed with this kit, and it's designed to fully work with the stock TRD pro setup. I've sold a ton of these in this combo. I have IN STOCK and can ship today still and you'll have around Tuesday :)

You can call or text me 717-319-2100 to order, or use the link below. I can also sent more pics of this same combo as I have a carp ton of pics with the 2/1.5 on the pro!

After a bunch of texts back and forth with Jason and even a phone call, I decided on the 2/1.5 lift kit! Actually, I should say lift kits. The wife and I are both getting the 2/1.5 kits for our Pros. Ordered Sprint Boosters for both of us too! Yes, we have almost identical vehicles... long story.

I've been into performance vehicles for 20 years... hotrods, off-road, etc. And Jason provide some of the best customer service to date. Super nice guy!

I'll post some pictures when I get the kits installed. Now I just have to decide on tires... 275 or 285, and Toyo R/T, Nitto Ridge Grappler, or KO2?

Very pleased with my 1.5/1” kit with 275’s. No rubbing whatsoever in full articulated angles. No mods required and I like having mud flaps. I do think that the 2/1.5” with 285’s is probably the best looking setup and I may think about it in the future. Jason was great to deal with and I purchased a Sprint booster from him also.

That looks really good.

I originally planned to do the 2/1.5 install myself, but I have a lot of things going on right now. Any idea what a fair price is for the install? I have a Toyota dealer near me that sells lifted 4Runners... I wonder if having them install the kit might be better for warranty issues.

I had my kit installed with an alignment for $170. I think under $300 for install and alignment is a fair price.

That's extremely inexpensive! For a good shop on the front and rear kits, will take them 2 hours if they are fast, 3 hours max. My guy here can do the whole kit in 1 hour, but he's done hundreds of them and uses air tools on the compressors. I don't recommend that unless you super know what you are doing. It's much faster but dangerous if you haven't done it a lot.

If anyone is close to PA, I can do it for you. Most shops I'd say should be around $2-$300 installed. Shops charging $500 it way too much, but sometimes it just depends where you live. Just tell any shop, it's 2-3 hours MAX for our front/rear kit. Now, the front only leveling kit, takes half that.

Yes it was. This is a reputable shop in So Cal that other forum members use and really like. I couldn’t believe it myself when they said, $50 for the spacer install and $120 for alignment. I went back to have my Shrockworks sliders installed and I will continue to use them. Pic with sliders installed.

I wouldn't do it for $170 lol not worth it to me. Especially since that included the alignment which is usually $100 alone. Also, why use a spring compressor at all? There is no need, use the compressorless method, I've done it a bunch of times with zero issues.
 
TRD Pro suspension, 2" rear cornfed spacer, 3/8 front cornfed top hat spacer, 1" ToyTec lower spring seat preload spacer. Gain is 2" rear obviously and a total of 2.5" in the front over stock SR5 suspension. 295/70/17 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 tires, no BMC, nothing but a fender liner mod, no rubbing at all.
