I also don't like this idea because you never REALLY know what the suspensions been through unless you personally know the original owner of the truck. I feel the same way about used performance car suspension.

 

Yep exactly. I’d only really want one that’s an immediate take off.

I should check the Toyota parts site. 25% off would make it reasonable.

 

It seems like the BRO suspension isn't really anything special. I think you can do better for much less than the extra cost of the BRO.

I will go with Kings or OME when I get around to it. It seems like King are the best. I have been eyeing up the BP-51's as well, and I really like the external bypass design. Fox are also in the running. It will probably come down to getting a deal on one of those three.

It will also depend on having the option to adjust height, as I don't want to go 3 full inches all around. I'm hoping to do 2-2.5 in the front an 1-1.5 in the rear.

 

My bro tundra would like a word with you

the factory pro and fox 2.5 are fairly comparable. The big diff is piggy back vs remote reservoir. I don’t really need / want to lift.

One of those deals though where it’s as much as necessary, little as possible. Gotta lift a little (1.5-2”) if I want to swap rear leafs. I like my icon RXT springs on the tundra, I’d rather have those than the dakars in the ome kit.

pretty much no matter what I do is $2000-4000. Plus / minus labor depending on my motivation.

 

I guess I hadn't really looked at the Tundra Pro set up.

I want reservoirs as well, but mostly for the adjustability. And because reservoirs

I know I can get reservoirs and adjusters with UCA's for about $2800-3500 depending on brand.

 

What's the general consensus on Icon stuff? Their staged kits, while expensive, are pretty tempting as well. Is the digressive shock really the big downfall?

 

Also, good morning all y'all savages.

 

If you like squeaks and leaks, icon is where it’s at. Nearly everyone I’ve talked to has complained about the noise or some other issue they’ve had.

the digressive is great off-road for constant rough stuff but can / will be harsh on road.

I do love my RXT springs though

 

I think my icons ride way better than my foxes @OperatorOneNine

 

Interesting. I had read a bit of that as well, but wasn't sure how valid/true it the stories were.

How long have you had them?


King's are still #1 on my list when the time comes, but I'm always curious about real-world data/input.

 

I’ve had the rears on my truck for a few weeks.
@Sociopenguin had them before me.
I have foxes up front still.

 

from what I’ve determined fox / ome / king are all pretty close in real world usage. You’ll get favorites either way.

I’ve got foxes on the rear of my Tacoma and I have no complaints

the tundra has the fox pro suspension with reservoirs front and rear. Me and @Cav_BluTRD (mostly rich, I looked for tools and read the directions) swapped the rear springs to icon RXT to offset the weight of my habitat. Thing rides like a dream

 

It's not a bad place to start, but to each there own.
I'd say I'm the opposite of @Shellshock , I'd prefer the progressive stuff but dont do any speedy type stuff.
Also, i have 63's in the rear, and that makes a huge difference.

 

63's ?

My old tundra springs are about that same length. I’ll make you a deal lol

 

LoL - That's far more work then I'm looking to do on my brand new truck currently. Thanks though. You're a real stand up dude.

 

Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll change your mind in 6-12 months like the rest of us lol

 

I haven't even bought any shocks yet, and have changed my mind about 20 times. Hopefully by the time I get my funds in order I'll know what I want.

 

I think eventually I’ll just end up with an impulse purchase of something lol
