    So far I've gone back to 2013 and I havnt been able to find any up-to-date lists on Canadian Suppliers.

    A lot of the websites are no longer working or the link is broke etc.

    If we could get a list of Canadian online suppliers that would be fantastic. I've spent many hours googling over the last week with not much success. Most sites I'm going to seem to carry more of the cheaper brands. Looking for more options for examples like Fox, Kings, etc as well as midrange like Blisten and BDS.

    Sites I keep seeing are North Shore Off-road and 4wheelparts.ca

    If there's already a thread like this that I missed, a link to that would also be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance guys and gals!

    I'm looking for the same. I saw http://www.tdotperformance.ca/ seems to be up, but it doesn't have everything, and it would be nice to have others for comparison, etc.

    I have looked there before myself. Like you said, selection is limited so it would be nice to see what else is out there.

    I've been spending most of my time so far on Low Range Off-road and Zone Off-road.

    Where in Canada are you?

    I've been to Northshore offload to have all of my stuff installed. Suspension I gave them a quote from Toytec and they matched the price.

    I live in Williams Lake. Buying the truck in Edmonton, tires in Calgary. So going to North Shore Off-road wouldn't be a big deal.
    What package did you end up getting? Do you have pictures?

    Gotcha,

    Keep in mind the shop I went to was in North Vancouver, so I can't speak to service at the other locations; however, I'm sure they're all reputable.

    Kit I got:

    Toytec Boss 2.0 with remote reservoir in the rear and AAL. Also with Light Racing UCA's.

    Thanks for the pictures and info.

    I've been looking at the Toytec for a little bit.
    From my limited research I seem to have narrowed it down to Icon vs. Toytec.

    The prices seem to be around the same (+/- a couple hundred), depending on where you buy the Icon, which I'm looking at Low Range Off-road for so far.

    Can I ask why you chose Toytec?

    For me it was a budget thing really. The Toytec kit gave me what I was after within my budget. The kit I got (Boss 2.0 with rear remote resi) was basically the same price as Icon Stage 2, but I got UCA's with the Boss Kit, and you don't with the Icon kit. It's also a pain to get parts in Canada so I was also dealing with where to source parts or if I order them and pick them up in the states. The shop that I went to though matched the Toytec website price so it seemed the way to go.

    To be honest though, if I was to do it again, I would probably save a bit more and got the Fox level 3 kit. But that's just cause I get suspension envy being on this site all the time hahaha

    I understand your envy. I'm feeling it myself.
    Right now it looks like I'm going Icon level. I'm going to have a lot of overlanding equipment so resi's on the front is a big deal. Plus the shocks are a little longer on the travel. To go with a similar package from Toytec it would be not much less.
    I would be interested to hear what people have to say about "best bang for buck" if anybody knows anything.
