    At the same price point (roughly $1,000) would you personally buy a brand new Eibach stage 2 or ~20k miles used Fox TRD PRO takeoffs?

    I really only want to lift my truck about 1-1.5 inches (1 inch makes a big difference, trust me). I had already narrowed down my selection at that price point and bought the Eibach Stage 2 with HS 3 leaf AAL. Now, I have the opportunity to buy the fox TRD Pro takeoffs at about the same price. Honestly, I’m just afraid of “the shakes.” Before I bought my 2018, I had a 2010 that shook for 5 years. I’m assuming the fox shocks won’t cause any vibrations because they are “Tacoma tuned.”

    This truck is my DD and I really won’t be doing much more that firebreaks and light off-roading.

    Any feedback will be appreciated!

    Thanks. Already have the new Eibach stage 2s. Just second guessing myself before I put them on.

    I would assume the Eibachs are going to be a little firmer than the Fox TRD Pro shocks. Depends what kind of ride you want. Obviously the adjustability on the Eibachs is a major positive. If you only want an inch lift, don't care about the adjustability, and want a softer ride, the Fox TRD Pros maybe the better route. Really don't even need to mess with the AAL if you go with the Pro take offs, they run with the same leaf pack and height in the rear.

    I appreciate the feedback. I just know I don’t want to get vibrations. My last truck shook for 5 years and I could never get it figured out….. I think that I may just end up buying them both, trying them out, and selling the one I don’t like. The old lady is gonna kill me haha
