Need Help Deciding Lift - King 2.5 / OME BP-51 / Dobinson MMR / Bilstein 6112/5160

We are running a similar set up. I went Fox 2.5 Performance Elites and Icon RXT leaf packs.

 

I've got the same fox elite's and rxt's ready to install. I'm curious to hear the outcome of this. Is the included sway bar relocation bracket from fox installed?

 

Yes, the sway bar spacer is installed. If you look at the prior pictures you can see it. It's the black spacer block where the resi mount is. Keep in mind this is at full droop. When the truck is sitting on its own weight it looks like this.

 

I can’t wait for mine to come in. They look so good lol

So does the sway bar spacer come with the Fox PES?

 

Yeah the sway bar spacer is included with the coilovers.

 

Kings all the way. Fully rebuildable, and the product quality is unmatched. Good luck!

 

Dobinsons or bust

 

Hey OP, how do you like how the suspension is? I’m between this and the King 2.5 with adjusters

 

I'm enjoying the Fox's so far. I haven't been in other Tacoma's with other brands of suspension to compare them too. I will say they are on stiff side. Either way you go, the best ride quality will come re-valved/custom tuned shocks.

This video just came out where they blind test drove Fox, Elka, Icon, Bilstein, and Kings. This is an overview video, they did an episode on each shock brand.

Spoiler alert the Fox 2.5 didn't fair well.

 

I've had the Dobinsons MMR setup on my 16' access cab for a year now and I very happy with it.
I went pretty firm on the springs to make way for front bumper, winch, (still haven't installed yet) sliders and full skids.
The adjustable high and low speed compression the rebound are great.
Also the little things like banjo and swivel fittings on the hose ends make mounting a breeze.

 

it would be nice to have a thing....like a city meet where people can check out what other suspension feels like.

like if someone local was wanting to check out bilstein 6112/5160....they can drive my truck. and i can drive someones fox truck or kings.

 

Would be pretty cool!

 

6112s up front with 1/4" top hat spacer and 5100s rear with a 1"block. 265/75/16s. I really just wanted new shocks since I had 60k miles on the stock TRD OR suspension. No complaints, feels great and gets me down to the good fishing spots

 

So what are your measurements from axle to fender now? THANKS!

 

Like around 22" front and 23.5" rear. Driver side front is just a little lower than 22 and passenger is slightly more. Not nearly enough for me to care about

 

Have you played with the adjusters yet? I have the same ones as you and mixed up the HS adn LS adjusters in the beginning and couldn’t get it right. All the way open plus one click is pretty solid for on road driving. The stock suspension is pretty soft so anything feels firm after that. Ha

 

A bit off topic, but do you have a recommendation for someone in the valley who can do a cmc? Seems like most of the shops I've contacted are too busy or aren't interested in the work.

 

I went to @drtfabrication. Great work!

 

Howes the ride on the 6112 and 5100s? Thinking about running the same setup with an AAL over a toytech 2.0 suspension.
