'Elka' shocks ?

Curious to hear thoughts on 'elka' shocks...
application on '14 regular cab.

 

Pretty sure @jberry813 did a pretty thorough review of them. Click his name>Posts>Threads by.

 

Here you

i considered these recently after researching and especially after @jberry813 's awesome in-depth review, like all his stuff.

i ended not getting them due to unavailability of my spring/shock spec combination. but they look pretty good if it suits your application.

 

I think it should be noted that youll want 600lb/inch or lighter coils with the reg cab due to the much lighter weight, or your ride quality will really suffer.

 

thanks for that. i noted it above... pretty indirectly tho.

 

Appreciate everybody's time...

 

Loving mine, but I have a DCLB.

 

Recently upgraded from Fox 2.0 to Elkas with 700 coil (extended travel).

Much better with all the weight up front I have, rides smooth.

In my case they were shipped from QC and I like the fact that I can drive up to them for service if there is need.

 

thanks for feedback...yes, the bumper weights do change things...
rig looks sweet.

 

I bought a set for my Tundra through the group buy on here. Have always run Icon on the Tacoma but now I’m looking at switching. They ride that much better.

 

if you have a moment, you think you could guide me on the 'group buy' you mentioned?

 

Sure. This one broke out on here in August: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/closed-elka-suspension-group-buy.627023/#post-21441889

They happen from time to time. Or you could contact Marie from @HeadStrong Off-Road for prices. Excellent vendor!

 

Rad...Thanks daddy-o.

 

I have a 14 Regular cab with Elka shocks. I am currently running #700 lb coils on the front which sucks. So can’t really give a great impression of them until I change out the coils. Overall they still do feel excellent and handle rough roads exceptionally well. I’ve taken them off-road a couple of times and I definitely would say they are an upgrade from OME (which I ran on an FJC) and Bilsteins 6100/5160 (which I had on an F-150).

 

Thank you so much for the recommendation @EDDO !

 

elka is a Canadian company?

 

you betcha
