TRD Pro, Dont kick me I want to lower it…

[AZTaco]

What tire pressure are you running?

TRD OR Hybrid is only 0.4" lower than a Pro according to Toyota specs.

Get some short of steps for it rather than lowering it. I always think long term. If the time comes to sell it there will be a limited market for a lowered Pro. I guess if you go that route make it you can easily change it back.

I would start with changing out the tires, something maybe a little shorter with more of highway focused tread pattern.

What do you guys think of retrofitting 4runner trd pro springs?

 

[AZTaco]

4R Pro is about 350lbs heavier. Springs are shorter but maybe a little stiffer?

You could just shorten your springs.

Like This height? TRD Offroad w/ Pro wheels on 33.3in tires and stock TRD OR suspension.

I think you are just gonna have to swap out your suspension for something more adjustable. I think Fox sells some setups that might get you close to what you are after? You might want to consider giving accutune a call and let them know your situation. They do custom adjustment for shocks, it would be worth giving them a ring. Let me know if you end up selling your take offs lol

not sure what yhe pro has for running boards/rock sliders, but i added steps to my oem rock sliders and they work a charm

for reference, im 5'-6 and my wife is 5-2. makes life a lot easier for the both of us

My thought, exactly. Every time I take my truck in for service, they inflate my tires to 38 to 40psi. On the way home, it rides rough and the rear end tends to dance a little on curves with poor pavement. For me, 32psi is much better, as the ride is much more enjoyable. Just a thought, before you start modifying the suspension.

The Fox shocks could also be set to one of the aggressive settings, which have a firmer ride.

This is my guess.

 

[james cole]

Fox shocks are set to 1 and tire pressure at 26 (!)

The ride is ok... mostly what I dont like is the ride height and what comes with it like more lean, stiffer springs to control the extra two inches it has vs the 2025 4Runner TRD Pro...

My Pro is much taller than that... yours look great and prefer that look vs having am disproportionate large space between tires and fenders.

Depending where you are in Texas, I have a basically new (only 3K-4K miles) set of TRD off-road front springs you can have for free. Not sure how they compare to the Pro springs in terms of height, but might be worth a shot?

I would suggest not modifying your factory suspension. Toyota may not honor a warranty repair down the road.

My best suggestion is a set of retractable side steps for getting in/out of the cabin.

I heard that the factory PRO suspension needs to go through a break in period before smoothing out. I don’t know how true that is. Is this mentioned in the owners manual?

 

[Brent@ANParts]

Could you find someone with a lower trim to trade suspension setups with (probably get some cash out of it, too)?

 

[james cole]

not really interested in swapping the shocks, just lowering 2 inches it would probably work, issue is if the QS3 shocks will like it or not...
