    whats up guy's!!

    So I just picked up a 2020 tacoma offroad 4x4. Now all my friends are telling me to get fox 2.5's and method wheels. Ever truck I see has either this set up or kings. But what is your opinion on a more cost effective solution. Not that I won't get the fox set up but really is the name what I'm paying for. Is there anything at a better price point that will achieve the same results? And whats a good lift height? 2-3" or 3-6"? You guys got pics to compare your set up's.

    All I do is ride dirtbike's, camp and explore the desert. Not really looking to rock crawl or climb the scariest hills but I would like my truck to just about go anywhere and maybe a little more.

    Shoot me some ideas and show me your setup. Also want to get this grill. Let me know what you guys thinks. Screenshot_20200609-174909_Chrome.jpg

    As an owner of king 2.5” with adjustable resis. I say go with the Fox 2.5’s. Get the ones with adjustable compression and rebound as well. The best thing about my kings. To be completely honest. Is the great customer service they provided. They go above and beyond for their customers!! I was lucky enough to have my kings leak nitrogen and oil not once. But twice! On three of the four shocks. I went for the name and didn’t do my research. I put Fox stuff on my mountain bikes. Should have done the same for my Tacoma. My kings are holding up for now. But I honestly don’t trust them. But that my personal experience and opinion. I’m sure bad luck as well. I have friends that swear by them. I still say Fox are better built

    ? Um I'm not sure what you mean, unless you're talking about my .45ACP joke is that in reference to my windshield?

    There’s a suspension subforum, I’d start reading.

    Pics are mostly pointless since a 3” spacer lift and a high performing 3” mid travel setup are visually identical.

    Read first, ask for clarification second.

    I’m running Fox 2.5’s with resis and adjusters. I’m happy with them and haven’t had any issues.

    Check with Erick at @state48overland and ask about Radflo. I probably would’ve went that route if I would’ve known more about them at the time I purchased.

    I'm currently looking at dobinson's MRR/MRA 3 way adjustables 2" lift the entire kit minus UCA's, front and rear shocks/struts, coils, and full leafpacks for $2800+ shipping...

    https://exitoffroad.com/product/dob...n-kit-for-2005-to-2020-tacoma-4x4-double-cabs

    @Crikeymike was more than helpful in answering questions I had. for the pricepoint and the adjustability these give, not to mention the purple/black looks pretty slick, with some red dobinson coils, and JBA UCA's it'll look great.

    I'll probably be ordering my suspension as soon as I get the $$
