    Dumb question time.......

    Who actually makes the shocks for ToyTec? I was looking for a stock shock replacement;looking at either Icon, Fox, King or ToyTec but can't decide between the brands.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    If you are going to spend the money on coil-overs. Dont waste your money on the Toytech "coil-overs" Sway-a-way is another option if you do not want to spend over a grand in shocks but if you do Kings are the way to go.

    But this is only my opinion.

    the toytec coilovers are a combo 5100 paired with an eibach coil. i would check out sway aways, icons, or something else. ive been noticing a trend lately in people not happy with the ride of the toytecs. keep in mind lifting the truck will cause the truck to become a little "stiff". im running icons and i love em

    Ya what everyone else said. Toytec coilovers are eibach collars and springs and 5100 shocks, nothing to special about them but they work. Sway away is another great option for a cheaper price tag.

    People say that they arent happy with a lot of coilovers lately and its because they are lifting the truck and expecting the ride to stay the same which is not going to happen. Just my observation
