    Make sure you take a look at the Eibach kit. Best bang for the buck on the market.

    I don’t even plan to tow and haul. The main reason I wanted falcons was because all the reviews reported greater confidence at speed while on the washboards/gravel roads. And it seemed like a great complete kit for the price.


    Basically, you dumped them for the reason why I want to buy them.

    may have to re-consider

    haha sorry dude. Don’t get me wrong they are far better than stock, but they don’t compare to a fox or king 2.5 shock. I have a dirt field right next to my house which is a short cut to get home and to get to chick fil a haha. Stock truck I could hit it about 35mph ish and would bottom out on a few spots kinda hard. With the falcons I could confidently do about 50mph and bottom outs were for sure softer, with the trd pro shocks front and rear and duro bump stops front and rear I could go a little faster than the falcons but pretty comparable. Now with the front fox 2.5 resi and dsc and I still have the rear pro shocks but I have air bumps and deaver leafs I can get myself into trouble. I hit it about 65 ish the other day and it felt pretty damn good. There are 2 spots that you can get the tires just slightly off the ground if you hit it fast enough. What I wish I did was record my truck with all the different shocks and the speed I was going to have a real comparison for others. Biggest downfall of the falcons was no side to side lift adjustment, they squeak if you use them hard and don’t grease them quite a bit, and the rear shocks weren’t any longer that stock and way shorter than the trd pro fox shocks.

    Another thing I didn’t like was the fact that when both my falcon rear shocks started leaking from the body I had to pay $200 to teraflex so they would ship me 2 replacement shocks which literally took 2-3 weeks. Like I really want 2 leaking rear shocks and planned on keeping them. I totally understand the principle but still kinda bothered me. I run fox shocks on my trail rig, every Jeep me and my brother have built which is about 40-50 Jeeps has got foxes, our 4800 class race car has foxes. They very rarely ever have a problem beating the hell out of them.

    That’s the type of off roading I like... blasting through dirt and washboards like your describing.

    I didn’t want to jump straight into 2.5 foxes, but I guess that’s what is necessary.
