Are you trying out the GX OT front shocks as well?

Looks great. You don’t need upper arms if the shock lengths are the same . The extra top spacer with total .6 inches of lift (2:3 motion ratio) isn’t enough to cause interference between the uca and the springs . You can try that by putting the front suspension at full droop. You most likely need to change your bump stops however as with the spacers they are no longer in play and that doesn’t include differences in shock length and travel

I was thinking about it putting them on and seeing what kind of lift they would give. The 2024 GX550 OT springs are a little thicker than the 250 springs. I think the springs from the GX550 OT 2025 will be a better option though, they provide 1" lift over the 24 OT model.

I might as well turn this into the TRD Pro Land Cruiser now, so I'll install the upper arm, maybe find some TRD Pro wheels too.
As of now it will be bumping off the shock shaft bump, like the TRD Pro Taco\4runner.
I'll see if I can make a new bump bracket that will clear the adjuster.
With the OEM shock and 3/8" spacer there was still a little shock travel left at full bump, I think it will be the same with the TRD shock, but will need to verify.

Trd pros don’t have bump stops ? The shocks are strong enough to take all the impact force ?

Yeah, no frame mounted bumps like the LC250, LC 300, GX550, and LX600/700.
Taco and 4runner rely on the shock shaft bump only.
Early taco trd off road models were breaking their upper shock mounts.
Yep $800 each! I found 4 on eBay for roughly $2600. I just cannot wrap my head around this but I sure like the 47.5 offset. I was told BBS makes the best wheels money can buy.

I think they are 28.7lbs each. According to this thread
Thank you. I heard 34lbs which was a turn off. But 28.7 is better. Now I really have to have these!
Indeed. I paid $2100 for a like new take off set from a Tundra. Tires under 1000 miles too. They sat in the garage for a few months until I wanted to go with 35s and 17” SCS F5 wheels. I recently sold the TRD Pro BBS for a profit. I kinda fell out of love with the design as well. Wanted something simpler. And let me say they were not easy or enjoyable to clean either. Just from storage dust they still were not 100% clean after two washes before I delivered them to the new owner. Black wheels are not it lol.
following!
i've been entertaining the idea of the Trailhunter suspension and glad to see it all bolts in. makes sense it should! the TH UCAs will look so good on my Meteor Shower LC

I'm not sure where you would be able to buy these from as it looks like you are in Kuwait. I got my parts from www.toyotapartsdeals.comAwesome build!
Would really appreciate it if you could share where you got the suspension setup from — any links or part numbers would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance

Front Fox TRD Pro shocks
PTR61-89250-RF
PTR61-89250-LF
Rear Fox TRD Pro shocks

PTR61-89250-LR
Front TRD upper arms (still need to check these fit)
