Advice please, don't want to piss away 3 grand

The ride is way better than stock TRD. The only reason I didn't get a new leaf pack is that when I lifted my truck I had 32,000 miles on her (yes I could've replaced the stock shitty leaves) but I wanted to put at least 50,000 or so on the stock leaves before I tore them out. I kept the overload leaf in with the Icon add a leaf and it gave me 3" of rear lift. I never tow anything but I do haul an occasional load in the bed. So far so good, but the leaves are looking pretty frowny face and sad as of lately. Most definitely getting them replaced after 50,000 miles or so when I re-do the rear with shock relocate, extended brake lines and 12" shocks.

 

Solid Setup!

 

I'm in the same boat. Can someone do a low cost good performance for just road with those bilstein shocks cost estimate with links or something?

 

Once you get past the OME/Toytec level, Icon seems to be the best value of the next tier up. Fox are steel body, so they are out, and King doesnt make a CO without a resi, so they cost more. Icon seems to be the match for me.

 

Correction, I just priced out some CO Kings with and with out remote resi. they were actually cheaper then the Fox CO with out resi. Priced them at 4 wheel auto parts. I just hear the ride in the Kings is stiffer or springier on road. As far as ICONS I am hearing of more problems with them so I am leaning away from them.

 

As for the fox's being out because they are steel body why is that?

Thanks

 

People said in the king vs icon vs fox thread that they rust.

When I order my icons I'm going to have them IVD coated to prevent any corrosion or wear from the beach driving I do.

 

Hmm good point

 

Looks like I can get Kings non resi cheaper than Icon non resi extended travel. about $150 cheaper

 

Just wanted to share my add a leaf experience. I got the progressive 3 leaf HD wheelers one, since I do tow, and use my bed for loads, I went with stock overload out so it didnt sit to high (wanted a more conservative look). First time hauling a load of firewood in the bed, not crazy heavy but a decent load. Was driving up a bumpy dirt road, going super slow first gear only, heard two loud pops. Got out and looked, both the bottom leafs were poped out sideways maybe 1/4 inch. I have only had em on for about 2 weeks so they are still brand new. I will def be switching to some dakkars in the future.

That said the ride was really nice, much much better than stock. And it didnt sag down nearly as low as the stock setup. Hope this helps.

 

Bump

 

I'm happy with my toytec lift and I recomend the dakar leaf pack. I'll probably upgrade to some icons down the line though.

 

Where at? I thought King doesnt make non resi coilovers?

 

x2 King doesn't offer non resi coil overs. Where are you getting non-resi coil overs from? The reason I went with Icon coil overs is because i don't need the resi in front but I went with the resi in the back with there 2.0 VS

 

4 wheel auto parts in riverside quoted me on Kings with and with out remote reservoirs.

 

^^^ Yes for rear shocks for sure

 

And 4 wheel parts will sell you on anything...too expensive find a different shop!

 

For sure

 

They were fronts

 

Any good recommendations on a local shop in Riverside /Corona?
