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.
I upgraded to Gabriel Strider shocks, best I could afford at the time, and bought Radial T/As to go on the Keystones. Big front and rear sway bars too. So even if my car didn't accelerate like a boss it did corner pretty well.
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.
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.
Anyway para sakin for comfort ride montero or terra. Matigas kasi stock shocks ng fortuner.
If you want your car to float and drive like a boat, go with gabriel.
I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.
The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.
i put gabriels on my 2014 impala and I cannot even shake the car by hand its so stiff..
