    Whenever I hear FOX all I can think of is dudes with tapout shirts drinking monster and driving around in their prerunners with dirt bikes in the bed acting like total chads.

    Kings for a tundra are special order. Not sure what that means. I have time before it needs to be done.

    Bilstein 5100's suck ass. Ok for around town, but noticed they suck off road.

    That's one of their problems.

    IIRC the Boss 2.0s are Eibach pro truck shocks. On par with 5100s.

    The Boss 2.5s are sway-a-ways (stay-a-way).

    Just get Kings or ADS and be done with it. Do it right or do it twice.

    Not Sway-a-way, they (Sway-A-Way) were purchased as prototyping was being done and only a very limited number were sold. Now they being produced by RadFlow

    I wouldn't consider the Toytec boss 2.0 a bad kit. I think they would be good for a person who didn't run much weight. I disliked the performance when fully expo loaded. Unloaded off road they were good. If you compare them to any 2.5" shock they will be lacking. If you have the money, buy once, cry once.

    Well, in the case, just as bad. By the time you're spending that much money you might as well get the best.

    I was really happy with my ADS 2.5" with resi on my Tacoma. I'll be going with a progressive valved 2.5" body shock here on the 4runner someday here soon.

    They can and I'm pretty sure I have shims to do it. They will get very soft on the hard hits.

    Pick a color! But don't buy Radflo's or FOA, EVER!

    Like @thefatkid said a few of the early shocks were SwayAway, they are now made by Radflo.

    So, what I'm hearing is that there is better than 5100's cranked to the top setting. Is this correct?

    Nope, that's the pinnacle of Toyota suspension technology. Better order ASAP!
