PRO Fox suspension install on 2020 TRD-Off-Road /w KDSS
- Thread starter niadh0

FYI- PTR61-89210 4RUN Suskit Se (2021 version) front coil overs have 2 different perch heights. If you want identical perch heights, you have to order an additional one. I went with the LF variety bc I wanted to eliminate some rake bc of the mildly higher perch height.

Did you install these yet?

To eliminate the lean, couldn't one just swap the two front struts - i.e., use LF strut on right side and RF strut on left side?
Also, how is the ride with the Pro Fox upgrade and KDSS?
Just got them installed yesterday evening. Have only put about 16 miles on them. So far so good. Better than stock kdss shocks...softer and fewer detectable bumps. Haven’t done any measurements but I can tell I still have a slight rake. Maybe around inch. Before I was center hub to bottom fender at 20 front & 22.5 Rear. Same on both sides. I’ll measure pro setup later. I did measure stock kdss takeoff coil overs and the perch height was identical for both sides. Guess kdss handles any lean from weight (gas/battery/me) by design? Looks just like a pro from a stance standpoint. If they sold the pro w kdss and in silver, it would be much easier.
As far as swapping locations to handle potential lean (LF on R and RF on L), your guess is a good as mine. I knew the 6112 kdss setup called for identical perch heights, and a previous poster successfully completed the LF,LF,LR,RR setup with the 2020 kit, so I convinced the important thing is same perch height. Even more convinced after stock coil over takeoffs came in at same perch height.

Remembered to measure after install this weekend. Both LF and RF are now 21.5 hub to fender...increase of roughly 1.5” and difference of 1 inch between front and back. Thanks to previous the posters that helped me save time by posting their results and setups. It works great.
I was the first one who did it and absolutely zeros issues of any kind. no lean or dropped levels anywhere. No need for Pre sollisison sensor calibration
you are welcome. glad to see others are following the same route as i did. i started the thought based on the OffRoad stock coming with identical shocks. and being owned 2019 pro i knew that the front two Pro shocks had different pirch settings. no brainer to use two identical ones. before i went this route, some other users on a FB forum told me about the lean issue and also mentioned that he tried swapping L to R and R to L but the issue wouldn't go away even after recalibrating KDSS. Enjoy the ride. we have best of the both worlds.... KDSS + FOX. Perhaps not a good combo for the rock crawlers but the City driving and trail rides are amazing in this combination.
you results are consistent with mine

This is great info. Thanks for reporting back - I think I’m gonna go for it.
I wonder if one could take two of the right side shorter struts and add taller springs or the Westcott spacers to make them work. Could create and after market for the folks that are selling the extra unused strut.

I'lll prob go the direction you went! If this wasn't the first new car I'd ever bought I'd gamble on it.
But maybe somewhere down the line some folks will try using the two shorter ones with the Eibachs or Wescotts they score from some folks eager to get rid of their extra one.
How does the ride compare on the Fox TRD vs the stock Limited XREAS? I'm anxiously awaiting a set of 2021 Fox TRD takeoffs to arrive for my 2017 Limited and have promised the wife "they'll ride smoother". Hope I'm not lying...
EDIT: put the shocks on yesterday. SO MUCH smoother than the xreas.
