Desertjunkie760s Garage Sale: Tacoma Rear Fox 2.5" Shocks

Rumor has it a DCSB is going there next week for a full bumper to bumper build

 

@ducati

 

If these were fox id be all over em... although....

do they come with lower perches and the reservoir mounts?

 

what’s your opinion on these vs the fox adjustables both with say a 650 spring, same load same vehicle obviously?

 

There are a lot of articles and threads on this topic but I’ll give a paraphrased version of my thoughts.

Icon uses digressive valving and Fox uses progressive. They are both great products but will have different feels to them. Digressive (Icon) usually has better street characteristics than progressive (Fox/King) as you’ll get less “roll.”

Fox has a dual speed adjuster and allows for tuning on the high & low speed. Icon/King have a single adjuster which IMO is more of a low speed adjustment but see the two articles below for a more in depth comparison. Fox w/ adjusters are more expensive.

(this article is for King specifically but I’m assuming Icon uses a very similar concept.

Spring rates will not change between the two assuming same vehicle setup/weight. That’s a separate topic.

 

Thanks and the links were very informative

 

Pm'd about the wheels.

Pelfreybilt bumper reinforcements.

some of the powder coat has chipped off from being in my toolbox. No hardware. Other than that they are ready to install.

$50

 

FWIW

Should have date stamped on tire [week/ year]


Good luck with Sail!

 

Should include some of the weld pics from your IG yesterday. It’s looking good!

 

Do you still have or do the gusseted spindles for a 2012 taco?

 

What are you asking, with and without giving you my stock spindles? Will they work with 4 1/2" backspace? just to be sure this is the kit that keeps the swaybar mounts right?

Thanks!

 

Im interested on a set of gusseted spindles as well

 

Oh baby...been looking at Fox, but I might just have to pull the trigger on these Kings. How do you figure shipping to 98125 would be?

 

Which Kings are these?

 

You don't happen to have any front coilovers for a Total Chaos kit do you? I have some on a crazy time frame back order.

 

Much appreciated!
