Trd pro lift question

Finally got the lift/tires/etc on my truck. Setup is Toytec TRD Pro 2" lift plus OE FJPro springs up front, Icon Delta Joint ucas, BFG K02 285/70/17 C-load. No rubbing. I do have some added weight up front with the SDHQ hidden winch mount.

That rig looks great!
 
Well I just ordered the 14" 650lb springs and T12's (with 10mm trim packer) from Wheelers to install when I put the SSO bumper/Winch, sliders and rack on. I'll post some pictures and measurements once I get everything on.

Wheelers also have a 5% discount running right now, along with free shipping.
 
Thanks for the thoughts. I'm interested in how everything worked out for Cement4R above, or if anyone else has direct feedback on this set up. I'm about to pull the trigger on 14"x 650lb up front (bumper and winch) with no spacers, and trying to decide between Wheelers T13 or something else in the rear for some stiffness and a 1.5in lift. I'm not quite sure how much the 14x650 will raise the front with that set up.

Hey, I missed this post of yours from a month ago — looks like you already pulled the trigger and about to install. Hope it goes well!

I’m happy with my set up. After all the iterations of springs and spacers, I think it’s finally dialed in. It’s a little stiffer than stock, but I’m fine with it. Looking back, after installing taller springs and removing the bottom Toytec preload spacer, most of the harshness went away.
 
[MENTION=389528]Cement4R[/MENTION] - So what are you running today? Both suspension and add on's (more to guess weight).

Running what was in that last picture of mine:

Stock TRD shocks, Toytec 1/2” top spacer, Bilstein 14” 600 lbs springs in front, Toytec 2” springs in rear. No additional weight in back, and front is heavier by 89 lbs (Warn bumper, no winch).

Selling Bilstein Pro lift parts and the full kit if anyone is interested.

Those OEM version 5160s are tempting for the heck of it (I have 2.0 Icons with my 6112s in the front). Let me know if no one wants them (but no promises). Ideally, I would like to have another set of rears so that I don't have to service the Icons asap when needed (or to put back stock shocks with the 6112s, lol).

Where can I buy the Bilstein 14" x 600 lb springs? Looking for new not used.

Isn't the person above selling what you need? 14x600lb? Ask Wheelers offroad if they have 600lb 6112 springs as a set. They have the best price on the 650lb: that I do know.

I have a set that I used for only a couple thousand miles before putting 650lb springs on. But I am not selling my pair for now. The 600lb Bilstein springs cost me a caved in 3/16 steel RCI front skid so if you plan on any speeds over rough terrain or lots of rock crawling, you may want to consider my experience as a data point. The 600lb springs are SUPER comfy but the 650lb perform much better when the vehicle is pushed a bit offroad. If you are not interested in higher speeds over rough stuff and don't do much rock then 600lb is definitely better. On road both do extremely well but the 600lb has a limo ride and the 650lb makes for a sportier ride.
 
Are these the ones that fit the stock pro front?

650 LB COIL PAIR, FOR 2.5" COILOVERS (6112, 8112)

That's what I got but I did not follow any earlier posts you may have written so I am not sure what you have/need/want.

The standard lift option for Bilstein Pro is this:
Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - lots of choices Look at the bottom of the first post.

Since the OEM Bilstein 6112 comes with shorter springs, if you just put the springs I got for my aftermarket 6112 on OEM 6112 you may end up with a lot more than you bargained for. The 650lb springs provide 0.5" over the 600lb springs, roughly.

In addition, I am not sure what valving the OEM 6112 uses. The aftermarket 6112 seems valved very softly. But the OEM 6112 uses much softer springs so the shocks should be more firm.

Firmer shocks with 650lb springs without a front bumper may make for a harsh ride.

You may want to email Mike over at Dobinsons. He is great. I had Dobinsons front springs before the 6112s and they were excellent. In fact, I don't intend to sell them (so I have a collection of front springs LOL).
 
You need 3" not 2.5", 2.5 are for earlier 1st gen Tacomas
3"x14" springs if you want the additional lift just by replacing springs.
You can figure out by reading various threads if you need 600 or 650 pound.

I've spent the past 2 days reading this entire thread. I now have a massive headache but very happy to have all this info. I'll make this quick: i hate the skinny tire/top heavy look. On a '17 PRO will I be limited at 275/70s with the ToyTec 2" and 1.25" Spidertraxx or can I fit 285/70s? Thanks!
 
Anyone have a set of OEM Pro front coils up for grabs?

If you are looking for the 2016 TRD Pro Bilstein front shock coil overs I do have a pair in great condition. Only used for a few months, being that I went to the BP51's.

If interested, I can take pics of them. They are sitting in my OME BP51 Boxes. Only thing is I would need a few bucks for them as I can use a new set of Camburg Upper Control Arms.

PM me if interested.

I also have a brand new RCI front skid plate to sell.
