Excellent set up. Good job guys.

[@westcottdesigns]

Thank you!🙏

[@lukepowell7623]

This is the sickest Yukon I’ve ever seen. The engineering is unmatched. I have the 23 Denali but am going to switch to the at4 suburban and when I do I will give you guys a call. Question, how do you open the back lift gate with that ladder? And can you mount a light bar on the front of that roof rack or would that make too much noise?

[@westcottdesigns]

We have never mounted a light on any of them but I can tell you the roof rack is super quiet. Could you? For sure. The ladder opens with the hatch and works really well. It’s great to get up to the roof👌

[@tommygaddi]

Hey great videos, watch them all the time. Quick question does the package with the shocks give you a higher lift than just the preload collar lift? Descriptions both say 3in in front but the backs are different? Thanks!

[@westcottdesigns]

So our kit that is called a 3/1 it is 2.35” in the front and 7/8” in the rear. The TRD KIT we now offer is a full 3” front and 1 5/8” rear. It requires either the red axles or the silver axles. This is because the black axle cups are not long enough and will cause the CV’s to fall out. The black axles are only really good to a max of 2.5”.

[@tommygaddi]

Thank you for clearing that up! Again appreciate the great videos!

[@myleshebert2885]

I see the extended length is the same as the TRD pro coil over but what about compressed length?

[@westcottdesigns]

They are both the exact same at full compression as well. They don’t get to far outside the box when they design stuff. The TRD kit arms are the exact same geometry as the stamped steel arms as well.

[@bheypuor]

@westcott designs. Wondering if the black hitachi front strut top spacer and bottom preload collar is compatible with the red bilstein suspension? I purchased an used westcott front pair pre-installed on black hitachi shocks but would rather transfer the wescott lift over to my red bilsteins if possible. is that even possible?

[@westcottdesigns]

The bottom is not for sure but the top is.

[@bheypuor]

@@westcottdesigns thanks for the reply! Much appreciated. Think I’ll just sell this and go for the proper strut in your video and your preload collar

[@p.k.808]

Will the front suspension with all the spacers (top and bottom’s) eventually settle the front end to provide some sort or rake for the rear to sit just a tad higher? Or will it remain completely leveled ?

[@westcottdesigns]

It’s actually about a 1/4 inch lower in the front then rear but you can leave out the half inch shim in the front to be 3/4” lower lower or set the ring clip on the lower setting instead of the top setting. The strut has 2 settings

[@p.k.808]

@@westcottdesigns Thanks for the info! I want it LIFTED all the way 😆. Look forward to one day taking a road trip and getting it installed by you folks. Awesome work!

[@cdstoudemire]

I have a Limited TRD offroad and your westcott lift but I havent installed yet. where can i get the struts that come in the trd lift kit? I want to use your kit with those struts.

[@westcottdesigns]

We sell the struts. Reach out to me Monday on my cell and we can get you set up 480-703-2440

[@pinoyoverlander3943]

⁠​⁠@@westcottdesignswich kit did you used on this set up? TRD pro or TRD off-road kit? I have also your kit for TRD Off-road. So I just need the struts for this set up? Thanks in advance.

[@hectorobregon9231]

So i got a pro and been wanting to get it lifted. What would you recommend i use or do? I'm in az

[@westcottdesigns]

What size tire are you wanting to run? Are you going to use the factory rims?

[@buildbros2088]

What steps are in this truck and do you sell this front strut kit ?

[@westcottdesigns]

It has our Westcott Designs rock sliders. We are going to sell the TRD front struts and our collar kit to give a even better ride then factory😉

[@user-qz9wr9md5h]

After seeing this, will the pre load collars from the red bilsteins fit on the TRD shocks? With the TRD axles would this fit? Considering doing this too my setup. Thanks guys!

[@westcottdesigns]

We make a lower collar to fit just this set up

[@andrewlopez606]

So can I use this same set up on a ‘24 SR5?

[@westcottdesigns]

Tundra or Tacoma are you asking?

[@stevieray1828]

Why not just use the shocks and call it a day?

[@KGallaghan-ul8ex]

Will this kit fit a 4x4 limited?

[@westcottdesigns]

It will but because you have the black axles would suggest getting the red axles or at least a front diff drop.

[@user-sj7re6gf9n]

Will this kit fit on a 22-24 SR 4x4 Tundra?

[@4brotroydavis]

Here we are but im 4x2 im sure it will

[@4brotroydavis]

I think u may need the off road package

[@shortythefrenchie]

What about the ride part of the video? How did it ride?

[@dylanrakai1659]

I was thinking exact same thing. I am installing mine this weekend and wondering will I include the front spacer or not. Please post the ride quality video and more exterior angles of how the truck sits. Was maybe 5 seconds at the end of the video for the real money shot

[@ferdinandtacas2657]

I have 2023 1794 trd offroad what i need to buy to lift 3 inches lift i went toyota today they quote me $8200 parts and labor plus tax.

[@WeisM3]

Oh Sheet!

[@diliparza5840]

Do you design any struts for 2007 Honda Pilot AWD

[@iLLESTKiD671]

So just to clarify. On this build, you added the trd spring and strut?

[@westcottdesigns]

No we just added the TRD struts and shocks and our collar kit. The customer wanted his springs red so we powder coated them here in the shop. We did run our 1.5” rear puck instead of our 1” rear puck.

[@iLLESTKiD671]

First, thanks for the response. Gotcha. I have a limited trd off road. So all I need to do is purchase is trd strut and collar lift? Sorry if that’s a dumb questions.

[@westcottdesigns]

@@iLLESTKiD671 not a dumb question at all. We are in the process of putting all the parts together to make this the best kit on the market for the price point. We will even have a axle angle correction kit. So your axles will be at the factory angle at all times.

[@iLLESTKiD671]

@@westcottdesigns awesome! I appreciate the feed back! Im absolutely looking forward to when you guys release the package!

[@rottenrottie1515]

Question / The TRD PRO strut needs a WD collar to to be at the same position as the TRD factory lift kit strut, but the TRD offroad strut stock collar is at the same position as the TRD factory lift kit strut. The TRD PRO is lifted 1.1 inch on factory fox struts . Does that mean the TRD PRO have a more stiff coil spring?? You mentioned that the TRD PRO and TRD offroad both have 9 wound springs

[@westcottdesigns]

That is correct both the TRD PRO and TRD kit spring have 9 windings creating a taller spring which in return creates more preload which would cause it to be stiffer. When we made our collar to work on the factory spring we did not as much preload which made a really nice ride. We did not go for as much lift as the TRD kit offers but this allows for a more rebound. We are putting a full kit together for the consumer that will offer a total package for a fraction of the price.

[@rottenrottie1515]

@@westcottdesigns I thought you stated on your video that the TRD PRO AND TRD OFFROAD have 9 wound spring and the factory TRD KIT spring is 10 wound.?

[@Hi-bg7jv]

@@rottenrottie1515I heard the same.

[@GearNutsNet]

@westcottdesigns is there a difference in the length/travel between the REAR trd off road red shock vs the trd kit silver one?

[@joelsmith2635]

nevermind, here is a great video showing that trd kit front/rear shocks and silver axles are longer than red, contradicting some info presented kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpjCZWiGr51jgaMsi=pTN-rt_kjRjXix-4&t=378

[@rottenrottie1515]

Those are not TRD offroad springs..do you need TRD red springs also?

[@westcottdesigns]

These are the factory TRD off-road springs that we powder coated for the customer red. These are the new TRD struts that come in $4000 kit Toyota sells and charges $2100 to install

[@shortythefrenchie]

@@westcottdesigns Jeff, in the TRD kit, don't they require an axle change with this strut even if you have the red axles? Man, I wish I lived closer to you.

[@westcottdesigns]

@@shortythefrenchie The red axles are the same as the silver axles. They paint them silver so they are easy to identify. Also the 5100 strut that comes in the kit is the exact same as far as at full compression and full extension as the TRD PRO strut.

[@staceygoodale6427]

@@westcottdesigns​​⁠this is incorrect information, the silver TRD axles are completely different my friend. Longer and have different higher angle CV joints. There are more caveats than that to the kit, such as a 1/4” track width increase on each side via the control arm and lower knuckle replacement, among some other attributes, this is all inside information too via TRD engineering.

[@westcottdesigns]

@@staceygoodale6427 great information so I will tell the engineers at toyota and TRD they have given me false information. And let me guess Roush didn’t didn’t design and make the upper control arm either right. Are the TRD Pro struts and TRD kit struts the same length? Are the factory upper control arm and the TRD Kit arm the same geometry?

[@davidsmith2517]

Do not recommend this set up, especially true off roading . FYI

[@westcottdesigns]

People love it and why would toyota offer if you don’t recommend it for off-roading. You should buy one and give it a try before you comment negative. This is part of the problem in this world. People talk negative about stuff they have never used, tried or done and go off another persons experience.
