2024 TRD Off-road iForce Max Build

[The T Rav]

Hey @The T Rav , sorry one more question. Were new UCA's necessary with this kit? the install instructions on kings site show stock UCA's but just curious if you knew if there would be any conflict between the springs and stock UCA's at full droop.

all good man, they weren’t necessary. I only used them because of the increase in caster they offer. Helps keep the truck tracking straight after lifting the front end.
Also, the only compatibility issues I’ve encountered with the Hybrid vs non-hybrid is shock tuning, spring rate and wheel diameter. Everything else is the same as a TRD Off-Road non-hybrid. The wheels I put on my truck are actually spec’s for a TRD Off-road as they’re 17”. Only because there are more tire options for 17” wheels over 18” wheels.

Bit of an update…

Installed the Icon Triple rate springs and lost 3/4 of an inch in height…

Scratched my head for a bit and then realized just how stupid I was.

Damn. Wish I came across your build sooner... I have an Off Road Hybrid on order (hope to have it in a week) and have been buying parts for the past month. Doing the full King suspension along with Total Chaos rear links, UCAs etc. Running a full size spare (35s) in the bed and a heavy after market bumper in the back. Occasionally tow a boat and like a little rake. Thinking Id want some rear springs I reached out to several people who have built trucks and settled on Eibach Coil Springs that were supposed to give me an inch of lift. Almost went with the triple rate Icon springs too. Never even considered the extra weight of the Hybrid. 2024+ Tacoma was all I looked for. Now Im guessing the springs I bought will be similar to the stock springs - or perhaps even less since they are supposed to handle an additional 200lbs. over the axle. SMH.

So you aren't the only stupid one... I never even considered the extra weight of the hybrid. Most of these suspension parts websites don't differentiate between hybrid and non hybrid. Now I'll have a couple new springs (that I even put a ceramic coat on) to sell I assume. Will try out the stock springs and if I don't have any rake maybe try the next size up of Eibach springs that are rated for 400lbs over the rear axle.

Now Im also concerned about my King set up. So it sounds like you had different front springs put on and you had the shocks tuned differently? I again just ordered the shocks without thinking about the extra hybrid weight. And Im adding a new front bumper and winch to the front. How much preload did you set your fronts at? Doesn't look like much. Mine came from king with only about 1/2" (5 threads) showing. Guessing I'll want at least 1.5". Ugh.
