So I’ve had the Westcott Designs pre collar kit on my TRD Off-Road Tacoma for about 6 months now so I figured I’d do a review for those interested in this option over a full suspension kit.
PROS:
Allows for larger tires
Improve ground clearance off road
Significantly cheaper over full suspension kits
On road ride quality is unchanged
Available through various retailers
CONS:
Not a full suspension kit
Off road travel is reduced
Still uses soft OEM rear spring
Overall I’m super happy I went with a WD kit out of the gate, while yes a full suspension kit is clearly better, it’s also more $$. This kit allowed me to achieve what I wanted to do with my Tacoma and has held up over the last 6 months perfectly.
