    Yes/No.

    For a while Fox had been using a barrel wound spring on the 4Runners 14" x 600lb springs that would occasionally would hit the UCA at full droop. You would need to make sure the spring is a standard straight. We do not recommend a barrel wound spring on these OEM coilovers

    Is there anyway to relocate the front shock reservoir? Without spacers my tires rub them hard. Trying to fix this so I can ditch the spacers 20210804_132653.jpg

    I mean there is always a way, just a matter of money and patients to figure out the best option. Any reason in particular you are wanting to ditch the spacers so badly? For what you have, I think the spacers are the cheapest and easiest option.

    Just to get rid of some on my scrub radius and tire poke. Currently the tire sticks out around 2 inches outside the fender. 20210806_172234.jpg

    Any 2.5 extended travel NON DSC in stock or expecting any in the near future? Considering upgrading my Bilstein 6112s. Thanks.

    Looking for some advice from you experts here. I believe I am going upgrade my Bilstein 6112s to the 2.5s. I am considering keeping my Bilstein 5160s in the rear for the time being, they only have about 3K miles on them. My question is are the rear Fox 2.0s going to be that much better than my 5160s? If its a huge difference I would consider replacing them now. Do you think it will be a noticeable difference in ride quality going to the Fox 2.0s? This is mainly a street driven vehicle with a little off-road thrown in occasionally. Rear lift set up will be a wheelers 3 leaf AAL. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

    Remote reservoir shocks yes. Tuned even more yes. I think you will notice the biggest difference on the front shocks more than the rear. Still hard to describe since ride quality is subjective to each person. You also didn't mention why you want to upgrade the shocks

    I don't hate the Bilstein 6112s in the front, but I am simply look for better ride quality overall. They are a little harsh IMO and I currently only have them on the 3/4 perches providing 1" lift so preload isn't even that high. I am wanting to increase lift to 2" to 2.5" up front with the Fox 2.5RR extended travel and I have JBA UCAs waiting to be installed along with them. I would expect if I buy through you guys and use your street tune I guess I would see a better ride quality over me bumping up the 6112s to their max settings of 5/6 and adding the JBA UCAs. I also like the adjustably of the Fox rather than the 6112s where I have to pull of the truck and disassemble to adjust the perches. The 6112s soak up the big stuff decently at speed IMO but can be harsh/bumpy when hitting smaller bumps. I most definitely do not want a soft/squishy ride, hated the stock off-road suspension.

    Yes the Fox 2.5 RR with our tune will be a huge difference. It's hard to describe but the damping really helps the truck feel more planted, hitting bumps is not harsh and feels very smooth through the travel. Bilsteins are usually digressive so they tend to ride a bit on the firm side. Tech article here explaining that a little. So far everyone has been extremely happy with their upgraded shocks from us. Side note, even though adjusting ride height is possible to do on-car, we wouldn't recommend that for just about any adjustable coilovers. It can be risky

    i noticed the most difference when I replace the 3 aal with a full leaf pack. I had fox 2.0s (not tuned) with a 3 aal and the ride was still a bit harsh for my liking. I went a to an icon leaf pack and it was a difference in ride quality.
    Now I’m running 12” king 2.0 shocks, they are tuned by accutune and there was a big difference in ride quality now the rear is smoother than the front and I’m running fox 2.5 dsc tuned by accutune on the front

    @AccuTune Offroad Hi I have a quick question. I ordered the fox 2.0 with resi and adjust from bilsteinlifts. Upon getting the shocks I noticed the package says 985-26-117 0-1.5” lift. There website says 2-3” lift. Can anyone clarify for me if these will work or not. I’m thinking no cause I have a 3” lift

    What lift are you running on the rear?
    I was running those same shocks with an icon leaf pack and never had any issues

    That leaf pack will droop out more than the shock can. So for daily driving you’d most likely be fine, but if you ever droop the pack out then your shocks will limit the travel. It’s not a good situation and can ruin those shocks.

    All of them.
    That's pretty much my exact setup except I have the fox 14s and hydro bumps in the rear. It's definitely a balling setup
