I probably have 2500 miles on it so far and it rides just as good as before. No vibrations, no problems. I'm happy with it
I had my local mechanic install it and align it afterwards and he did everything for 400.00

Can’t answer your question. I never had a Fox on my 4R , 2018 TRDOP,just sent it to somebody with question about the lift to fit 285/70 tires. But if I had a Fox TRDP , honestly I wouldn’t change the OEM shocks just to level it, and don’t think it will be much difference. I would play with the spacers and maybe aftermarket UCA if you want to do 2”+ on front. Sorry for confusion and good luck with your New T4R

100% Agreed. I just can’t compare TRDP Fox with my setup of King since I never drove 2020 TRDP. All I can say can’t go wrong with King, in my case it was day and night difference. Thanks

I am quite happy with them so far, no issues whatsoever with our first snowfall of ~6" as well.

I feel like your implying that by putting a 1 or a 2 inch spacer on your TRD Pro Fox suspension that your somehow "not doing it right"? To each his own I guess. But after speaking with MANY experts in the off roading community who run a 1 or 2 inch spacer, as well as owing many vehicles with 1 or 2 inch spacers I don't see anything wrong about doing it that way. As a matter of fact, when it comes to this specific suspension me and many others on the 4runner forum think it actually improves the ride quality while still maintaining 99% of the Fox tuned suspensions capabilities. I actually ran a decently difficult trail last week with my buddy who has a 2017 TRDORP with a stage 7 icon lift and we both made it up with out any issues. Basically I can achieve probably 90% or more of what he can do without spending an extra 3 to 5k. If I can spend $200 on a spacer lift that still maintains the abilities of what the suspension was made to do while adding 2 inches of ground clearance (maybe even 3 inches if you run bigger tires like most do) then I feel like I "did it right". I'd much rather do that then spend 5K more on a whole new suspension just to get maybe a half inch to 1 inch more ground clearance and a more articulation. The only way I'd do something like that is if my vehicle was mainly driven on the trail, or I didn't get a TRD Pro. But I think most people here are not buying these vehicles to be extremest. They just want the capabilities the vehicle comes with while adding a little more functionality at an affordable price that isn't going to harm or derail the the suspensions capabilities. Now when you get into 4 inch and higher spacers I would completely stay away from those but 1 to 2 inches does nothing but improve an already great vehicle in my opinion.
That’s a rather large opinion you have there. But like you said to each their own. I figured a few extra thousand on a King isn’t going to kill me, now I realize everyone has different economic situations. So some might take the more cost effective route for a lift and that’s ok, and before you say “Why did I buy a PRO if I was just going to change the suspension?” Because I liked the color.

I don't think there is anything wrong with buying a TRD Pro and changing out the suspension. As a matter of fact, if you have the money and prefer to spend it on what you consider an upgrade then that's awesome. Especially to get the color you want! The AG, and Cement are my favorite colors and certainly a very good reason to get the Pro whether or not you plan on keeping the suspension. I was only commenting on the part where you said "if I am gong to do it I'm going to do it right". Because I don't think by adding a 1 or 2 inch spacer your doing it wrong at all. I think your actually making it better at a good cost. That's all I was trying to say. I just did it in a rather long ramble hahaha
With your logic a spacer lift is equal to a suspension whose geometry has been calculated for the specific purpose and specific truck. Because that’s not what I think and I go back to if “I’m going to do it , I’m going to do it right”. There is no way a spacer lift is just as good as a full on suspension. If that were the case manufacture would provide spacers with your purchase. If you were to compare the two which one do you think would have a short coming?
If you are looking to spend the least amount of money and you already have brand new Fox suspension on your Pro. Guys already say it is a little soft I think doing the burgman industries spacer lift is the way to go. Later down the road when you have a lot of miles on your Pro then spend the money for a new suspension. My 17 Pro is stock that I’m trading in 2020AG. If I do a lift it will be the spacer for now. And add a set of SCS custom wheels!!:bravo:

I can't seem to find a dedicated place for everyone to share their new AG T4R's, so lets put them here.
I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago from a North Alabama dealer and wasted no time getting started on it. Here she is as of today.
Wasted no time putting it up for sale either

You're right, I didn't. I hated this thing at first and then i installed a sprint booster and it significantly improved the driving experience.
I came from a 2018 Yukon Denali, which had plenty of power anytime you needed it, and in hind sight, I should have kept the Denali, but i'm pretty happy with the 4Runner now and its no longer for sale.
I had forgotten about my Craigslist ads. Thanks for reminding me so I can remove them.

Just didn't love it. But the Sprint Booster helped big time. She's no longer for sale though.
At least not for now. I generally only keep vehicles for about 16-18 months
Pathfinder!

Slap a supercharger on it and it is still way cheaper than the Denali.

I've actually considered that. The only problem is, I tend to get tired of a vehicle so fast, I wouldn't want to ruin the warranty for the next owner.
Like I stated above, I usually keep them about 16-18 months. i know I know...i have a problem lol
But that Sprint Booster definitely changed my feelings about my 4Runner. For about a week or two I absolutely hated this thing. All good now

With my logic?? You must have CLEARLY missed where I said I could 90% of what my friends lifted 4runner with the ICON stage 7 suspension could do. So reading your response leaves me puzzled. It's as if you chose to either ignore what I said, or your responding to someone else? I never said a spacer lift is equal to or, better than an actual lift kit (especially a stage 7 ICON or a nice set of KINGS) I don't know exact numbers percentage wise but I said 90% of what my friends vehicle can do because I can make it up 9 out of 10 trails he's done. Which I am actually completely happy with even if it was only 80% because I'm not some extreme/hard core off roader. If I was I would gladly dish out the extra 3 to 6K for a top notch suspension. But the fact that I can basically have fun and enjoy my vehicle out on the trail with others who have dropped thousands more than I have makes me feel great. I spent $200 and will be able to follow you anywhere you go once you get your KINGS. Oh sorry my bad, ALMOST anywhere you go. Only difference is I will still have an extra 3 to 6K in my bank account.

Would you mind elaborating more on Sprint booster please? Just picked my AG up yesterday and this sounds intriguing
Install time? DIY?
Will it affect factory Warranty?
Any other thoughts would be appreciated
Thx
