    Has anyone put fox suspension on their 3rd gen yet? If so what setup did you go with? How's it ride? What'd it cost?

    Keep in mind, FOX hasn't released a 3rd Gen specific suspension yet. This means that all of their current offerings are carry overs from the 2nd Gens and are valved for them, as well.

    Yea lots of options....I'm thinking resi 2.5 adjustables would be great! Hoping for feedback from people running them. Do you run fox suspension?

    Nice! Have you run into any issues during/after install? How's it ride compared to stock OR suspension on road and off-road? What are you thinking of upgrading to?

    I believe only Toytec and soon OME BP-51 (in a few months) offer Gen 3 specific suspension.
    Also, if you go Fox theres a group buy going on right now too.

    What's the difference between the 2.0 and 2.5? Is this the same system that the PRO will have?

    Roger. I was really hoping to have a great stock suspension straight from the factory with the PRO.
    Maybe not so much

    This is correct. I spoke with one of the fox reps and this is the same information i received. Their catalog also groups the second gen and the third gen tacoma together for the same parts.

    Bilstein is working on 2016 tacoma specific valving for their 5100 and 5160 series. OME has the BP-51 coming out in about 2 months.

    I'm sure the fox stuff will work, hopefully someone can give you their impression of the ride

    Correct on the Fox susp. The 2017 TRD Pro will have internal bypass Fox coilovers and rear shocks. Good stuff!
