Westcott Designs collar lift kit installed on TRD Pro

[Scrappopatamus]

I want to also throw a lift kit on. But even with the trd pro mud flaps, it sounds like my truck still kicks up rocks (on gravel road) into the side of the vehicle and onto the fenders.

Is this the case for you? Did the lift make this worse?

I wouldn’t think so. I went through a little tacky mud over the weekend and didn’t have it strewn down the side

On prior 4runner and Tacoma generations any additional lift such as this would cause vibrations on the highway supposedly due to the increased angle of the axles as they come out of the diff. Companies have fabricated diff bushings/bearings to accomodate for this (Such as east coast gear supply). Link below. Have you encountered any vibration problems on the highway or otherwise?

I have an '18 Pro w/17K miles that's bone stock other than a Wescot collar lift. I may upsize the tires at some point.

Hey Scrapp, are you getting any kind of vibration now that it's been lifted? Also, how is the nose dive in the front...has it been eliminated or reduced drastically?

Any vibrations at highway speeds?

So far 551 Miles in a month. The only mods so far have been the Wescott Designs Full Preload Collar Lift Kit and the Toyota Info Screen Protector.

I've gone off the reservation with numerous mods on our ORP . I'll post some photos of it and a list of mods sometime this weekend. I'm enjoying both vehicles and prefer the Pro, although our ORP is growing on me.

I’m curious if you have taken your rig out fully loaded with this leveling kit installed? I just purchased it and not questioning my purpose due to the fact that I’m worried about the rear end sagging when loaded with gear. I think I probably should’ve purchased the front spacer and installed the heavier duty coil in the back.

im not sure what’s going on with the collar kit when it comes to the trd pro but I sent a question to westscott. They said on a regular 4Runner the complete kit is exactly level but if I wanted some rake to only install the collar without spacer for a 2” lift instead of a 2.5.

honestly in my 5th gen’s I ran bilsteins at 2.5/1.5 and 3/2.

the magic number is at least an inch of rake. 4 adults and gear in the back it didn’t sag and took off-roading like a champ. I’d expect the same.

I've yet to load it down but guessing I'd have a little squat in the rear. If you're planning to hang a bunch of weight on your vehicle, I'd suggest replacing the struts and springs or replace the springs to cope with increased load. Hope this helps

Here's a photo of our TRD OFF ROAD Premium with Westcott Kit. Lifting this vehicle and changing the wheels transformed this vehicle. Changing the Ugly wheels actually seemed to change the color of the paint. I wasn't crazy about the color but was vetoed. I really like it now
