    I’m thinking about buying a set of good condition trd pro fox suspension with the westcott pro collar for my 2022 trd off road. What’s a better suspension for a similar price and similar lift?

    I’ll be doing 80% daily driving and 20% easy off-roading.

    thanks!

    It depends how much you're paying for it, and the amount of miles.

    Some of the Pro suspensions had a big problem with broken coils. I don't think it's the Fox, but you'd want low mileage on the set just in case.

    I would say OK is the TRD Pro suspension are free but if you pay closer to $2000 (Eg used Pro suspension 1550 + 400 for Wescott spacer kit = $1950) I would say spend the same money to buy new a suspension that is meant to be lifted (Eg- Ironman Foamcell Pro suspension lift for $1961). If you buy used TRD Pro suspension you don't know how long you can use them before rebuilding since you don't know how much use previous owner put on them.

    Let’s assume I can get trd pro suspension with westcott’s preload kit for $1500.

    I believe the spring issue was prior to 2020 models.

    I wouldn't pay that much for used, when new options are only a few bucks more.

    $1650 is the starting price for lifted coils front and rear with all new IMS struts and shocks (no spacers needed)

    Suggestions like this are exactly what I’m looking for. I’ll have to research these to see the characteristics compared to the trd pro suspensions.

    Yeah, definitely do some checking around the forums and see what people say.

    I sell a lot of IMS full kits to people removing stock and TRD Pro kits, so it's a common suspension change for us.

    This is thier site -https://ironman4x4america.com

    If you are looking at these Foamcell Pro have a look at this video. The rear 1.5in spring would give little more comfort than 2in rear spring.
