    Hello all,

    My head is spinning after another day of suspension research and am struggling to decide between Bilstein 6112's and Fox 2.0 coilovers. The truck is a 2014 T/X Baja that's got 67k miles on its stock suspension which seems to be roughly comparable to Bilstein 6112's.

    Folks seem to say Bilstein's are the best bang for buck, but also that Fox is a step above. I'm wondering how the 2.0 Fox coilovers would compare to the larger diameter Bilstein 6112's. I do a combo of higher speed desert washboard driving and slower speed rocky trails in the desert and mountains and have been enjoying the Bilsteins mostly. That said I've never ridden in anyone else's Taco with higher end suspension.

    Are the Fox 2.0's an upgrade over the Bilsteins or about comparable or worse? Anyone have a convincing argument or insight on why I should pick one over the other? Appreciate anything you've got. Budget is about $1000 tops for the front

    Cheers

    OP I’ve always been a Bilstein fan. That being said. Ride quality will be up to you.
    I say go with what you prefer not on someone else’s opinion.

    Good Luck OP
