Put a set of 23 TRD OR take offs on my fathers 2011 prerunner and the best way to describe this set up is a mini budget level, the ride quality is way better than the worn oem pre runner shocks and the front end did gain close to an inch.
I put a set of those on my ‘09 in like 2018 or 2019...Didn’t really change the ride height but ride quality was noticeably better, but that’s probably mostly because of how sacked out my old shocks were.
ended up needing to replace all four shocks (rears are DIY friendly - did it myself). Now that the shocks are all new it rides like a dream.
So I replaced the shocks and top mounts, which fixed it and it's smooth now.
My mother drove her 2010 Corolla for 11 years and 320,000 km with no breakdowns and only (frankly spotty and frequently late) basic maintenance before passing it off to my brother, who still drives it every day it with 350k kms (edit: 220k miles). The shocks probably need replacement at some point in the nearer term but those are wear items and the car spent most of its life on terrible Saskatchewan roads, so I can’t really blame it for that.
Try to test the suspension the shock absorbers tend to wear out after the years so you could start to hit the bumper on traffic humps.
2008 LC Prado - 185k mileage. Regular PMS only. front lower arms, and tire rods were change for the first time last year since it was new, rides like brand new again. Shocks were already replaced with OME.
I just back from mechanic shop with another set of stock absorber (facelift gt86) and ride is really night and day!! Firm but not harsh, can feel the road but not as uncomfortable as before.
My 2014 Rav 4 Limited has 222,000 miles on it. Needs new shocks to the tune of $2000.00 but that’s to be expected. Absolutely no regrets.
2011 SR5 4wd just under 110k. Zero issues just regular maintenance. I am due for some new shocks though.
