    Just wanted to post this so folks can see what their setup would look like if they do what I'm up to.

    *** I fully understand that most folks don't want the cab chop due to warranty issues and that there are suspension kits that give more lift for a cheaper price than the store cost of the Trd Pro fox setup.... But not even close to what I paid for it!***

    -Mine is a 2018 Trd Off Road

    -Bought a buddies complete 2018 Trd Pro Fox suspension and 16" wheels he took off for a killer deal!

    -Spc adjustable control arms

    -Cab mount chop

    So Far I've only driven on the road and I when I hit a sharp dip while turning sharp at around 30 mph I get a tiny rub on the Plastic in front of the front tire which I'm assuming will be easily fixed with a heat gun or some trimming!

    Planning on getting up in the mountains today and finding somewhere to get some flex to see how it goes!

    Looks meaty, you made my decision for midsummer tire change for me. Probably going to do a very small plate lift at the same time.

    The rubbing on the Front fender well plastic is gone! The shop basically pulled a clip and relocated the front plastic towards the front of the vehicle by about 1 1/2" and used the heat gun to do a bit of re-molding up there as well.

    In the front with the tire as stuffed as I could get it in that location I was almost touching the inside top of the wheelwell but I'm happy with that for now!

    I'm happy with the end product and will most likely not do anything else to the suspension.

    Love your set up! Are you running any wheel spacers with your truck to make it not rub on the suspension? I have a 2018 trd off-road with a 3 inch suspension lift in the front and a 1 inch in the rear. I am thinking about going with the 285/75/16 nitto ridge grapplers but I have the stock rims and I don't want to run wheel spacers.

    Nice! I love the RG - some people think them and the KO2 are instaqueens but I have both and they do well for me offroad.
    Next up - rid of those side steps!

    Hey don't knock the steps. Before I had sliders the steps were rock "feelers". When they start scrubbing your getting to close. Lol Op's truck is looking awesome though. I also like the nitto's. Great set up
