    How hard do you have to push your suspension to justify the need for a remote res version? Just for a better understanding how hard would I have to push a set of icon coil overs and rear shocks without a remote res to justify spending the extra money for the remote res versions? Anyone have an example or has this happened to you before?

    Thanks,
    Mr Ribby

    That's what I figured, if I can save a couple hundred dollars when I switch to icons by not going remote res, then I will have some money for other Tacoma toys.

    for most everyday driving/offroad you wont push them hard enough, but if you do a lot of wash board or desert running resi is the way to go.
