    I've narrowed down my suspension search to ADS, King, and Fox, and really don't think I can go wrong with any of these, however I was wondering if anyone has any experience with how they do in the North East with tons of salt on the roads as far as corrosion is concerned. Over the years on other vehicles I've had coilover setups that couldn't stand up to the corrosion they faced up north and then I also had other setups that looked brand new, so any first hand experience with corrosion and these setups is greatly appreciated!

    I know that ads come pre coated no charge and kings you have to pay 50$ extra. Not sure on Fox I never looked into them. I’m going ADS:) more bang for your buck!

    speaking from previous experience on jeeps... foxes hold up well performance wise, but the aluminum body will look pitted and dull after a winter.

    I just went with ADS for my front... and would have done the same in the rear, but I’m doing the BAMF shock relocation, and their 12” travel shock didn’t have ideal compressed and extended numbers to work with the kit. I went with fox for the rear.

    The fit and finish on my ADS coilovers is top notch; even their spanner wrench looks impressive, lol.

    My Fox's are damn sexy and makes my Tacoma float like a dream. The only salt we have in the south is from the ocean. :headbang:
