and the 2.0's with 9.5 of travel on all pros website Is their another product out their thats better? thanks !

 

anyone? im a newbie on this need some help

 

I just bought some 2.0's with the remote reservoirs, the ones that look similar to the ones on your second link, the ones at the bottom of the page, except mine are specific to Tacoma. I am supposed to receive them tomorrow, I'll let you know what I think of them after I receive and install tomorrow.

 

Awesome 12TRD thanks alot, il keep tuned in !

 

Yeah I got the 2.0 fox non resi. Coming in next week and installing next weekend. I'll let you know.

 

I'm super stoked for the new shocks to come in and can't wait to feel the instant ride difference!

The fact they are fully rebuilable and re-valveable just sweetens up the deal SO much more for me too

 

Bilstein 5160s are great shocks with a reservoir on them plus they only cost 370 for a set

 

I was originally going to go with those bad boys, I really like Bilstein and applaud them for their solid efforts in the suspension game. The only thing that really killed it for me on those was the fact that they were not revolvable and rebuildable, and since I was already in the $400 territory, I could have the Fox rears for just a little more.

 

Got my 2.0's in today, they were a total bitch to put on just with pure muscle, damn they are stout! I'm going to have to revalve them though because they are a little too soft for my liking. Other then that, totally awesome, they made the truck unusually taller in the rear, so it raises it about 1" by the way. next is the 5100's in the front when I receive them tomorrow, then on to doing a much needed alignment.

 

Would these work with a tacoma that has a 6 inch lift ? Or would i need something different, really confused into sizing with shocks, if their is any , thanks guys !

 

You are going to need some extended travel shocks if you already have a 6" lift. How are you running your 6" rear lift? Blocks?

The only thing my Fox's do is raise me up 1" only. Take a look at some Bilstein 5125's

For kicks, take a look at their specs, they are supposed to be several inches longer then the 5100's, they are actually specifically made for extended travel and lifted vehicles.

 

Blocks. Its BDS's standard non coil over kit. And I will check that out, you answered a few unsolved quesitons haha, thank you !!!

 

No problem man! If you want a larger, more then stock travel due to your lift with external reservoirs, you may have to look into Fox 2.5 rears. I believe the 2.0's do not offer different lengths where as the 2.5's do.

 

Contact me, we can get you a set of shocks built for your rear w/ the amount of lift you have.

 

They have a lifetime warranty though
