    I've had my Fox 2.5s on for about a month now and I'm sad to say I can't really tell a difference in ride quality compared to my old TRD Offroad Bilsteins. Maybe I had too high of expectations?

    Yes. Is the significant difference seen mainly in off road driving?

    I was planning to do it but I might just wait until I feel vibrations. That way I can have something fun to do.

    My truck is the TRD sport, second gen though.

    Yea, these are designed as off road shocks, especially the 2.5s. They'll really shine bombing down rough dirt roads. My experience has been that they're about equivalent to stock around town, slightly better at speed on the highway, and huge improvement on dirt.

    Ordered front 2.0s right before they stopped the 500 off 1000.
    Received them last week.
    Waiting for them to run that coupon again.

    I think my confusion was cleared up by a fellow TW member. Apparently there isn't much difference between the Fox and stock Bilsteins on highway driving. I haven't been offroad yet which is where the magic happens.

    Oh no, not looking good for my wheelwell order. It has been a couple of weeks since I sent the wrong shocks back and have been waiting on the replacements. Seems that the great and fast customer service has gone silent. No response to emails and calls go straight to voicemail and their chat doesn't work. :facepalm:

    Oh Nuts... I hope that the company honors the sale or gives a refund. I think PayPal has 90 days for dispute.

    That is what they told me, but it has been over a month since the second order was placed.


    I got a response from them today saying that they have a Dec 4 ship date. That seems a touch odd that it would take 2 months for the shocks considering the original order took 3 weeks. Good tip on PayPal. I used that on one of the shock orders. Dec 4 will put it right at the edge of 90 days. At least I know they are responding even though they are not answering the phone.
