Thats a leveling kit and your TRX4 is already equipped with a "leveling kit" from the factory. This spacer will put strain on your CV's so it's not recommended by the manufacturer. You could always put it on and then check for 4wd shudder and premature cv wear. If you dont have any issues, keep it on
He has a 2500 and it has no leveling kit or CV's, its a solid axle.

Your truck is in no way shape or form in any way like a 1500trx, two different style suspensions. The only problem you will have with a leveling kit on your truck would be the broken tie rod issue witch you wont read about on this forum. The 2010-11 heavy duty trucks are snapping tie rods after leveling kits and lifts, but some have snapped without any type of lift. If you want better info about your truck you would have more luck looking in the diesel section since they have the same suspension..

funny you mention that. when i was truck shopping, for the hell of it, a friend of mine dragged me up to the toyota dealer to look at tundras. they had a whole set up for american truck guys like myself, showing each part of the truck in the display and comparing they're parts to the american truck companies. every part including the tie rods were beefier, sad but it was quite the eye opener

a link to the mopar leveling kit, says it wont work on the trx4

i just spoke with someone at topguncustomz, says the leveling kit should work fine on a 2500 trx just not the 1500
