Land Cruiser 250 (Prado)

Stock front suspension travel is 8" With 4" of droop. a 2.5" spring pre-load "lift" will leave you with 1.5" of droop.

There is .35" of shock travel left at full bump. The tallest top spacer I would recommend is 1/4" thick. This will raise the ride height by 1/2"-1" and increase suspension travel by the same.

For what its worth, the Westcott kit isnt just the spring pre -load, they combine it with a top spacer to get the full 2.5". At the end of the day its still a spacer lift, but not quite as bad as your calculation makes it out to be. (Could be 2" pre-load, leaving 2" droop which still isnt great)

I know they previously included a top spacer for the 200 series, but according to their install video they are not using top spacers on the 250.
see around the 9min mark in this video.

Very pleased with the 18” TRD wheels, jury still out on the KO3s. Need to take them to get re-balanced.

I really like these on the LC. What's the Toyota P/N if you don't mind me asking? (PTR56-35242-F1)? Thanks.

I stand corrected! I had it on my 4Runner TRD Pro and it was two piece deal.. no complaints on the ride quality at the time.

Am I missing something here? Wouldn't this take away not only a lot of droop but the compliance of the suspension over normal bumps? Seems like it would be best on smooth pavement. But then wouldn't you gain more there by lowering the truck?

Bingo

So then perfect for most drivers

Yes. They suck.

This youtube channel did a blind test on different shocks on a Tacoma, and the Westcott one was worse than stock over all terrains.

Awesome, really interested how your tows.

How did it handle your TT both from a performance (towing, braking) and a road handling and trailer squat perspective? What does your TT weigh?

Not so 1958 now. Full Katzkin leather kit, I’ll call it a 98% match to the OEM Java color. Very pleased with it.

Wow…those wheels are hideous.

Agreed!

Adding to the fact that the wheels are horrendous, the offset is absolutely terrible.

That’s debatable

 

[JZGarage]

That’s debatable

Those Analogs are a pretty nice design for some rigs - especially in black. This white set looks clownish on that Meteor 250. What an atrocity.
