    2018 - Installed touchscreen stereo with new speakers. no sub or amp. 2019 - Ultimate Headlight +foglight upgrade from Crashnburn80 - Fox 2.5 non-res upfront -fox 2.0 w/ res in back -3rd Gen TRD Pro Wheels w/ Falken wildpeak 265/75/R16 -bed mat
    I've been riding Fox 2.5 coilover up front and 2.0 RR in the back for over a year and it seems each winter the bumps get a bit harsher. Is that due to the cold affecting the oil in the shocks?

    I am on stock bilsteins but I notice it. My truck rides drastically better when the temps are about 35ish. 35 and below I seem to feel everything in the road.

    On stock 4600s and notice it also. -20 feels like I’m driving a 1 ton truck with 80 psi in the tires. My fluids physics tell me that it’s due to the oil just being thicker then when warm.
