Our customers are interested in if the  TRD PRO skid plate on 3rd gen Tacomas will work with differential drop kit.

We can answer, that  TRD PRO skid plates are very weird on design. It will work, but longer bolts are required in order to install the differential drop kit

Our customers often ask us, if they need to add factory overload for progressive add a leafs or not?

-If the overload is removed the vehicle will lose the towing capacity and will get about 1.5 inches of lift.
If the overload stays the vehicle will keep  the towing capacity and payload and will get about 2 inches of lit.

Some vehicles like 2018 Toyota 4Runner with KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) may be a bit tricky to install a lift kit on.

Reason why is the front and rear sway bars need to be rest on a jack without disconnecting them. The only parts that need to be disconnected is the radiator support bracket and the “C” clamp holding the sway bars while resting the sway bar on the jack so the hydraulic system. We recommend that if you don’t have experience installing suspensions to take it to a professional shop because KDSS is a different ball game

Customers who ride Toyota FJ Cruisers often ask us:

 

“All the kits I’m finding are 3inch and will only accommodate 33 inch tires. I want to run 35 inch with what I’ve already got done to it. Any suggestions?”

 

We can answer that:

To fit 35 inch tires is a lot of work.
1.- The vehicle will require to have a body mount chop
2.- Flatten out the pinch welds with a huge hammer
3.- Re gear the rear differential and that can cost up to $2,000 dollars depending on the brand of the gears plus labor
4.- Cutting the front fenders might be required also
