what would happen if i were to put TRX front shocks on my ST. would it raise the front since the TRX model sits 1" higher?

 

Thats what I've gathered lookin around here. I have a trx.

 

Shocks are only a part of it. The coils are what sits the truck up higher. You would need the coils or else you'll be bottoming out those TRX shocks on bigger maneuvures like steep driveway inclines and such.
Ofcourse, if the shocks have a higher perch, then they would use the same coils. Hopefully someone that knows if theres a difference in just the spring perch or the coils as well??

Eitherway, you'll need an alignment as the dimension of the angles for the alignent change as you raise lower the suspesnion

 

thats what i what to know if the perch sits higher . if the coil is larger im out of luck but if the shock/strut what ever you want to call it sits higher and uses the same spring im good to go.

 

Just buy bilstein 5100's and u can raise it more if u want. I have mine set at the 2.8" setting.

 

2.8" wow. i thought the 2009+ guys had 4wd vibrations past 2"?
I know us 3rd gen guys have that problem anything higher than 2.5"

One last thing. I thought Bilsteins went up to only 2"? and rancho Quicklifts went up to 2.5" Have they changed anything? or is it maybe because the design is different for 2009+?

 

Nope the bilsteins go up higher...

People are getting the vibes even at the 1.5" setting. My truck isnt bad at all... I used it in the snow n was barely able to notice it... Dirt/sand road couldn't tell. I don't use my truck in 4x4 on concrete so i don't know how bad the vibes are there. As far as i know bilstein didn't change anything.

 

If i remember correctly the ttx struts are only,.7" higher

 

I removed my trx shocks to install a rancho lift, if someone wants to buy them and try them out I'll let them go cheap.

 

Pretty sure the front coils are the same between all the trucks. TRX trucks do not have special coils, they just have a .7" higher perch on the struts.
