Falcon Shocks for Tacoma by TeraFlex - new suspension options for 2016+

255 80 r17s

 

Wife texted me that my Falcon shocks arrived!!!

 

That sucks pal. I was a little unclear myself regarding the difference in those styles. Hope it works out

 

Maybe a tad bit stiffer on road but awesome off road. Super connected to the road during washboard conditions.

 

Can anyone with a sport chime in running the falcons? Our roads suck so the sport could use some softening up. I previously had a OR and loved the way it soaked up the bumps but was definitely mushy at times when stiffer would be grand. I think I'm just tryin to find a middle ground

 

Does anyone know if the rear sport tow/haul versions with the 1.25” lift blocks are they longer than the factory rear bilsteins? I think they say extended travel on there website but wondering if someone can confirm that they are actually longer. Thanks

 

Yes they are. I got the kit installed without the blocks on accident and the shocks are about 2” shorter. The kit without the blocks are the same size as factory but the kit with the blocks are longer.

 

Ok cool thanks for the info

 

Getting my Falcon sport leveling shocks installed today on my '17 TRD sport. Also having Freedom Offroad uca's, Sumo Springs (blue), and lastly, drilled and slotted brake rotors.

 

Today i just got my truck back from the local auto shop-
I had installed:
Falcon/Tera-Flex leveling sport shocks, Freedom Offroad uca’s, Blue Sumo Springs in rear in lieu of Falcons included bump stops, and new drilled & slotted rotors and ceramic pads.
I am already very pleased on the leveled stance of my truck, and the improved ride is very noticeable over the factory shocks. Brakes are smooth and stop real nice.
I will know more after driving on them for a few months, but would already highly recommend Falcons. What an improvement!
I’ll post up pics when i have a day off- wife took these and it was dark when i got home

 

So far very impressed with the ride on these Falcons. The truck sits perfectly leveled, and while a bit stiffer than stock, they’re smoother and it rides better if that makes sense.

also had the bed fully loaded down with busted up concrete slabs this wknd and the Sumo Springs/bumpstops were a game changer. No longer bottomed out on my frame, reduced body roll and made it much safer hauling.
I highly recommend installing them if you occasionally or regularly use your truck to haul heavy loads

 

when you added grease did you disconnect the shock from the lower control arm?

 

super clean truck man- i love those bronze rims on white- who makes those?

 

Looking at picking up the sport tow/haul lift version of these shocks in the next month or so.
Does anyone have measurements from before and after on a TRD OR? Might do a 1.5 AAL instead of the block.
Thread helped a lot with the almost 100% choice for these. Thanks everyone!

 

Go for it- these shocks are great!

 

I have been debating the Falcon lift tow/haul or the "Trail-Pro Lift Kit for 16+ Tacoma by Wheeler's Off-Road". Torn because the wheelers kit includes everything in it! Also look at it the other way, you get what you pay for. If the whole kit is that inexpensive, is it really that good? I have heard good things about the 6112/5160 setup, but reading this thread the Falcon's are higher quality. Falcon is also local, might be a little biased but I like that.

 

@jhallam i can tell you their customer service is awesome- and put a falcon next to a bilstein and you’ll have your mind made up real quick. That and theyre made here in usa

 

On the level setting does anyone know about how much lift you’re getting is it about 1.75” or more? Thanks

 

I don't have before/after measurements, but this is exactly the setup I have. Tow/haul shocks, front is on the middle setting, with Deaver 1.5" AAL's in the rear. What size tire are you running/plan to run? I'm on 285/70R17's too so that will affect the height from stock as well. My driveway is slightly sloped, but I can get some measurements for you later.
