Trailhunter suspension install on TRD Off-Road Premium ORP?

[photorunner]

I thought that the TrailHunter has sway bar disconnect and the ORP does not?

Yeah, but that doesn’t keep the other parts from being interchangeable. The suspension parts are all interchangeable, obviously not the sway bars.

Curious how this works out.

Me too.

I have ordered the brake line spacer, sway bar spacer and strut bolts. Hope this is all I need.

Anyone out there with a stock Trailhunter willing to shoot me some extensive pics of there suspension to help me confirm I have it covered?

 

[silverrunners]

I’ll ask again…any Trailhunter owners out there willing to send some pics of their suspension front and rear?

Update: Because I havent got around to doing the install yet, starting to second guess the whole setup. Considering selling these parts and purchasing the TRD 2.5” lift kit. Any thoughts?

OME and new UCAs for $1,500 is a great deal...Having Toyota-vetted parts to boot.

Not sure what the TRD 2.5 kit is. if it's just a spacer, that's a whole other bag of cats compared to the Trailhunter setup.

Personally, I'd rather do the Trailhunter setup, especially since you already have the parts.

The 2.5 lift is new shocks, springs,TRD UCAs along with a few other parts.

I agree if I were comparing to anything aftermarket. The TRD kit Im referring to is OEM. My hangup is that kit coming with a few other bits that Im not certain arent standard on the Trailhunter and If I spring for those, Im pushing into the same cost bracket. Those being the longer tie rod ends and lower knuckles.

Trd kit is bigger lift than trailhunter.

You ever make this choice?

I'm getting closer to doing suspension and am curious.


Also, doesn't the Trailhunter (and TRD lift) setup also come with longer CV axles?

The TRD Lift Kit ( Part Number: PTCCY-89310/89320) does come with axels that are longer than those that came off my TRD ORP.
I do not know whether the THunter/Pro come with the longer axel or not but here is the part number for the axels from the TRD Lift Kit installation guide - you might find the stock THunter part number by searching Toyota parts site to see if its the same.
SHAFT ASSY, FR DRIVE, RH 43410-AK020
SHAFT ASSY, FR DRIVE, LH 43420-AK020

Axel length difference: about 2 inches (30" - 28")
Stock TRD ORP Axel:

Havent got around to installing. From what I can tell based on pics, the TH and ORP axles are the same
