    I just installed Elka 2.5's:

    https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/s...or_2005__Toyota_Tacoma__-_90052_or_90174.html

    I had the 700 lb coils put on them and they ride like I'm on pillows. I previously had bilstein 5100's with OME 888. I had to throw lift blocks in there as well to eliminate the extreme rake I had with the OME HD leaf packs in the rear. Needless to say the ride wasn't great. It's a night and day difference now.

    I don't have any experience with Fox but, I can definitely recommend Elka's.

    The fact you can have Elka units from Canada, and avoid the import process + their product stands up better to winter corrosion challenges, the choice is easy.
