    Ok, Her are the choices for the front.
    Not going to do any desert racing or very hard core wheeling.
    I do a lot of road miles also.
    I have a winch w/synthetic and a US OR bumper insert. Extra 110lbs.
    Sticking with 265/75-16 for now.
    New shock on the block - vs ??

    Bilstein 6112. Adjustable $750
    Fox 2.0 Non- res $850
    Icon 2.0 Non- res. $799
    Toytec 1-3" $770
    Radflo. Adjustable $799

    Let the debate begin.
    Why should I buy one of these shocks over another?

    Thanks for the info in advance. Bret

    Icon is a 2.5" coilover. I have the non res version, One of the reasons I chose them was that they are adjustable while installed on the truck. Some coilovers require uninstalling them to adjust.

    ICON doesnt make a 2.0 front coilover. The 2.0 is just for the rear.

    Of those listed, I really think the 6112 is the best option and bang for the buck. Compare to an ICON or King 2.5 tho, it really depends on your offroad needs. The Fox 2.0 is a great kit, rides awesome.

    6% Tint all around, Toyota all-weather floor mats, Toyota bed extender and skid plate, Python 991 remote-start alarm, oem cruise control and class III hitch were all installed within a couple months. I then installed Icon c/o's and Icon's 3-leaf aal with 17x9" GA9's and 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac's. The DRL mod was done, as was a custom rack setup similar to the org. cross bars. Blacked out headlights bought online, and a BOSS 1500 under-seat sub installed along with a Pioneer double-din DVD player
    Where can you get the ICON coilovers for $800? I would imagine that they are more well-built than the other options.

    You cant, anywhere, unless its used. OP posted the price of the 2.0 rear shocks. There are no 2.0 ICON Coilovers.
