Semi-afforable suspension kit for 3rd gen?

Hello TW,

I'm looking for a semi-afforable suspension kit. I was thinking about going with Total Chaos UCA's and Fox coilovers in the front with some fox shocks in the rear?
I really wanna go fast when I hit bumps and considering that my rig is only 2wd this will be the most action it will see!

Let me know what you guys think.

 

I would look at the bilstein 5100 lift and call @HeadStrong Off-Road How much lift do you want?

 

2 inches in front, basically leveld out.

 

leveled

 

is the fox suspension and total chaos UCA's overkill?

 

What do you want to do with you truck? Take it to the mall?, fire road and light off road?, or balls to the wall run for all she is worth?
Edit... btw that's a nice set up and you can't go wrong with that choice really

 

I guess balls to the wall ! And some light off roading lol. Wiish I had 4x4 my FJ cruiser was but I never used the 4x4 option.

 

The fox set up should do fine, unless you wish to move up to the king suspension.. but then it becomes a tad expensive. King and fox are same type of shock (progressive) as icon and bilstein are similar (digressive)

 

here it is ! Johnson Valley 16!

 

icon coilovers and total chaos UCA !

 

Nice FJ!

 

5100’s for someone that wants to “drive fast over bumps” while offroad?

 

Bilsteins are the same as icon being a digressive shock. The icons work better with a little speed and so did the 5100's I had on my truck. On road was a little stiff along with off road going around 15 mph. Once you got them up to 30 to 40 they performed great. Only issue I saw or had was that going for extended periods of time off road made them really hot. So you have a smaller window of run time before the shocks overheat and blow out vs say a 2.5 or bigger diameter shock.
