TRD Pro rear springs???

I promise I searched before posting this. Maybe I'm not submitting the correct query but I have been unable to find an answer to my question.

Does the TRD Pro use different rear springs than the SR5 or Trail? Reason I ask is I see the TRD Pro "full suspension kit" for sale quite often. I've never seen it listed with rear springs until yesterday. Person selling the kit says they use different rear springs than non-TRD Pro vehicles.

I have a TRD Pro kit from TRDshop.com sitting in my basement but it does not have rear springs. I'm worried about installing it and having reverse take.

Can anyone confirm for me one way or the other if the rear springs are different or not? Thank you in advance.

i'm pretty sure there's no difference between the rear springs on the SR5 and Trail. not 100% sure, but confident that it won't create any difference in ride height/reverse rake. the factory rake is pretty much 2" higher in the back... Pro front springs only provide 1" front lift... think you should be fine.

As Marshal and Sandcrawler said, the rear springs on the Pro are exactly the same springs. 100% sure.
 
The only ones with different springs, given the same year models, are the LE's (according to Toyota).
 
For those of you that have done the TRD Pro kit, are rear springs required/suggested to be done at the same time or are they typically good for a while? My 2010 Limited has 150k on them.
 
Limited color code = purple/orange, below. SR5/Trail/OffRoad/Pro have Pink/Orange. I looked again, corrected to pink/orange for non limited.

Same spring unless you have a Limited. I installed the Bilstein Pro kit on my other halves 2017 SR5 and works just fine. The front spring is a TRD tuned spring though.
 
I installed the ‘18 trd pro Bilstein suspension on my ‘16 limited. When I compared the rear springs, they were identical in height, number of coils and colored markings.

Both my limited and pro has purple and orange springs.

Does the TRD Fox suspension kit - 4RUN Suskit Se - Toyota (PTR61-89210) fit an 18 Off Road Premium using the stock Off Road Wheels?

I thought I had read somewhere it will only work w TRD PRO wheels. Id like to keep my Off Road wheels.

The "FOX suspension" kit will ONLY work with the Internal bypass FOX brand shocks on the 2019 and 2020 TRD PROS.

This kit IS NOT the same as the "Pro Kit" which uses Eibach shocks...SO, on your 18 the FOX kit will not work UNLESS you retrofit the FOX shock package.

As far as your wheels...no idea but having been under my 2019 countless times, I cant imagine the stock wheels would not work just fine, unless you go to stupid wide tires...

For the rears almost anything will work, Pro TRD PRO etc. NOTE: the Eibach Adjustable rear spring kit will fit any model, but you MUST use the coils that come in the kit...stock type barrel springs WILL NOT work on the adjustable set up

Nice build... how are you liking the Eibach rear adjustable kit? I’m looking at adding the Eibach Pro springs up front but still researching what I need for my rear since I need to support a pretty decent load.

Very simply. That setup is genius. Not only does it ride well (I have the 200-400lb spring) but its adjustability is easy and can even be tailored side to side as well. Think full gas tank..
Also, if you ever need more weight you can upsize the spring weight without having to buy the whole kit again. I am sitting at about 300+- pounds over stock, when fully loaded now, and I still have about an inch to go.
Once I buy the trailer (retirement) I will switch to the 400+ spring to help with tongue weight.
The only issue I can see is if you were using a high articulation, long travel setup...
Since the 5th gen rear springs are only held in place by the body weight, my spidey sense says there is the outside possibility, of a spring dropping out under high articulation angles on the rear tires...NOTE: this is an opinion based on how easy it was to get the kit installed, and, the fact that this kit was designed by Eibach to work with the Eibach shocks (per their website)...not a King or Icon long travel setup.
For my purposes, overlanding on easy and moderate trails and as a DD. This is the best set up out there. Money well spent!

I think this is the best option for me too with the 400+ spring. Thanks for your input!
