    Exact reason why I stuck with the 2.0s, the most this truck of mine will see in the OffRoad world is a BLM fire road or the like to get into some backcountry splitboarding action.

    Thats why I got the 2.0s Light off roading.
    Hope I get my order Im a new member to Wheel and just thought the coupon was a common bait thing. So I kind of ignored it until you guys here got excited. I did it in 2 separate orders for $861.79. Now I just need a AAL and someone to install it

    Congrats to everyone that ordered on time! I was close to ordering last night, but figured I would wait to see if anyone had luck before committing. Pretty amazing how quickly a good deal spreads like wildfire on this forum, Lol.

    True story. It's like all the guys flexing about buying Icon Stage 10 kits to run fire roads and show off for friends.

    I'm not sure if 2.0's would work for me or not so I'm going 2.5's to be safe. No resi in the front but with the weight and resulting fade I experienced on our last vacation, the headroom is peace of mind at a price far below the Kings I had originally planned for.

    Dude I've got a wedding to pay for lol... only reason the SO green lit this one was she felt the oscillations from the rear and it's far cheaper than my original proposed plan.

    My only problem with the 2.0s is the height, I believe it’s maxed out at 2” if it went up to 3 I’d be more interested.

    You can swap to a taller, heavier spring if need be, and on the Fox 2.0 thread it seems like 3” is fine just cranking up the collars but at some point preload likely becomes a concern. I’m prob gonna dial mine down a few turns to start.

    Credit card was definitely charged, and partal shipment has been made. Spoke to a chat agent to see when shipment would be, and to also revise my rear shocks order. He was able to do so and also said they usually ship in roughly 4wks, but advertise 6-8wk lead time to not over promise delivery as they are built to order.

    With that being said I think they are honoring all the purchases made with the codes.

    Just wondering?
    i have a 16 trd sport and i like that right now the truck doesn't wallow thur a tight turn.(much) i only get to go off-road a little once a year, so I'm not looking for a trail pig.
    I tow a small camper and use sumo springs now, Its fine, just a little stiff on big bumps.
    I would only look to do a 1"lift (most) and have no plans to put big rubber on it. and want the truck to last 15-20 years, so not beating on it just driving it hard some times (got 18 out of my Dodge).

    What are people doing in the back ? new springs ? helper spring ? 1" block and nothing else ? i live near chicago so no big hills around me.
    Just looking for info ? Future mod?

    You don’t know how much the mark ups on these are. They are still making money.

    Border fee from living in Canada, oh well. Still cheaper than buying them here at retail.

    My air filters have arrived. All 3 of them! They are telling me that the shocks have to be built and have a 2 week lead time. As long as they ship before my credit card refund window closes, I will be happy. Last thing I want are 3 $333 air filters.
