    I also asked the same question but was told by Falcon they are only rated for the stock springs.

    Interesting... I would rather run a spring with like a 600lb rate at the zero setting to not loose down travel.

    Thanks for the info do you what pound springs you are using? Also is anyone running the tow hauls do you really need to trim the shock buckets for them to fit?

    just pulled the trigger on a set of Falcon sport tow/haul leveling shocks for my tacoma. I won't be lifting it, just leveling it. I also ordered new set of Freedom Offroad tubular UCA's since i'm replacing shocks, might as well do these too. Can't wait to have the tow haul option!!

    10K miles and they are solid. Perfect for someone who doesn't want the issues/expenses that comes lifting your truck 3" or more.

    How do you guys like the ride with the Falcons? Is it firmer than the stock suspension?
