TRD skid plate mounting with ready lift SST kit diff drop Success

**FOX 2.5 Performance Elite Series**

To get my TRD skid to fit, I used Black Aluminum Spacer 3/4" OD X 5/16" ID × 6 from metalspacersonline.com. The OD could be larger but they work fine for me. I bought stainless steel M8 1.25 pitch 60mm bolts and 5/16 galvanized steel spacers (they’re a bit thicker). Pics attached, I also still have my front aero and it works perfectly fine no issues or error messages.

I'm sure this same method could be used with the 3” TRD Lift just measure your sway bar bracket and buy that as a length for the spacer.

 

appreciate the good info. Truthfully I ordered the spacer set from metalspaceronline that has a whole bunch of different lengths of the 3/4ODx5/16id spacers and a m8 grade 10 bolt kit and just gonna test fit for best Fitment. Thanks for the info on the spacers and appreciate the website. These are literally the same type of spacers that ready lift/icon is selling but you get a better quality spacer in my opinion

 

Just installed mine last night definitely going to be swapping for a small size spacer but I ended up installing with a 1 1/2 inch spacer with 60mm bolts

 

I did end up spray painting this bad boy though lol wasn’t a big fan of the aluminum look

 

I really like this idea

 

It went smoother than I thought to be honest. Grabbed a single can of rustoleum enamel spray paint. Nice little sand down just to smooth it out. From what I heard you don’t need to do that step butttt in my experience with spray painting it is worth the time to prep the surface. Makes an even smooth application. Just make sure to let it fully dry lol I got my finger prints all over mine lol I’ll take a photo later after I adjust my spacers to a smaller set.
