Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2023 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a 2023 Tacoma TRD off-road, I just got a Smittybilt Scout trailer 87400. I would like to add a timber on the front and on the rear suspension . The truck is not modified, maybe on the future. I see you have three different weight specifications. I drive this tacoma to work and sometimes on dirt roads and on the sand on the beach. What do you recommend ?

Hey Fernando, I'd be happy to help you pick out the correct Timbren rear suspension kit for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD that will be towing a trailer. Really it comes down to two options. You would want the part # TTORTUN4L for if you have the 3 leaf spring setup in the rear suspension or the part # TTORTUN4 if you have a 4 leaf setup. I don't have a way to look up how many leafs are in your spring pack otherwise I would. The other options are severe service which means it's going to be super harsh and overrated for your application or the option that is for off roading support and not for towing a trailer. How does the truck do in the sand?

Thanks Jameson. I have the 4 leak setup so I will go and order the part # TTORTUN4, what about for the front?

@Fernando For the front axle the correct Timbren set would be the part # TTOFTUN4. Sorry I missed that earlier!
