My TRD Pro Lift

[TRDHULK]

Just curious, are you on a dirt road and wearing a suit? That's impressive!

Good eye! It was a sport coat, but close enough! I work at a Toyota Dealership.

Not quite a dirt road, but a construction site in my neighborhood. I've use this spot a few times now to check clearances with the lift, bigger tires, and to do some front bumper trimming.

Took it to the same spot yesterday to do some more front bumper trimming, but not in a suit this time lol

Nice! I was going to say, I wish I had to go off-road to get to work.

LOL! If I recall correctly, I believe that was on a rare occasion that I actually left work before the sun went down, so I took full advantage!

I love the looks those tires and I am due for a new set pretty soon. Currently 285/70/17 RG- C load.
My 4R is not my DD, but I do drive long highway stretches (4+ hour each way) to get to my trails and camp spots. How loud are those things on road?

I've never had a MT before, so I don't have much to compare to except for buddies trucks in the past.

If I had to compare to the loudest tire I've heard and call that a volume level 10, and my Nitto Terra Grapp's I had being at a volume level 1, I'd rate these Geolandars at a 3 or a 4. You can for sure hear them, but they are not annoying. At 50 mph+, between the wind noise, exhaust, and the radio at a very low volume, you literally cant hear them at all.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am currently waiting for Jeff to work his magic on my 2018 off road,I am going a little bit more extensive than you did, but I agree Jeff has been great so for, pics will follow.

Loving all the pics and feedback regarding these. Just got my 2/1.5 spacers today. So pumped to get these installed. Just had a quick question for anyone running a similar set.

I have a '17 TRD Pro, so wondering for those who have installed, was there need to switch out the upper control arms and to realign.

I was also thinking about running 285 Ridge Grapplers or KO2s. Any feedback on rubbing and whether you had to do a BMC or slight work.

Thanks all.

I have ‘18 TRD pro Bilstein, stock UCA, TRD wheels and 285’s ridge grapplers. Caster and stock was fine. I could not get back to Oem camber. I’m off a few degree +. But I plan to install JBA UCA soon. O always get an alignment after the CF spacers.

Lift measurements?

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!

Hello,
"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".
Am I missing something or would you now have 2.5/2 not 2.5/1?

You will have 2.5/1”
I did the same lift about a year and a half ago.
275 KO2’s. No other mods. No rubbing.

Got some more miles on my setup and love it.

There is a little bit of bumpsteer so I will be ordering some new UCA's just to smooth it out some more.

Here is the issue I'm running into: I've got FJ steelies 17x7.5 +15mm and I'm afraid that any aftermarket UCA will rub on the 285's.

Not a fan of spacers so will not go that route.

Is there a UCA option that is more low profile say than the JBA, etc..? Or will I need to just get new wheels?

If I need new wheels, what is the ideal size for our trucks with the CF lift and 285s?

I personally like the Pro wheels. Plenty of Pro owners running 285’s with CF spacers. The offset and the 1/2” narrower width make a difference when it comes to clearing the body mount and requires the least amount of modifications compared to other wheels. Price of the Pro wheel is very reasonable also.
