fox/king/icon vs ome

Toytec has them and has a TW discount
Wheelers also has them. Metaltech 4x4 as well.

Ive found that all three are relatively close in price

 

Canada, Alaska, same shit.........i read it to fast ya snow man.....its too damn cold either way.

 

I have an Alaska plate on the front of the truck so that could of thrown you off lol.

 

I'm voting OME too.


Specially since it's what I'm rocking.

 

, yes we can say that............ thanks for covering my 6 lol

 

I personally think the OME Kit will suit your needs just fine. Its a great lift.

I'll be running either Fox or King when I go Long Travel. Which ever one I can find for a better deal I suppose lol.

 

Honestly man, you're going to change it down the road if you go that route! It's the inevitable progression we at TW all go through, or will go through! Do it right the first time! Will you be happy with 5100's or OME?...sure, for a little while! Get with some of the other members in your area and ride in their trucks. You'll quickly see the "pay off" with a better built suspension system! I have Toytec coilovers and really like them but would say these lifts are a 6-7 on the scale of "ability" but not really that much over stock. Whereas, the higher end stuff is a 10 and really that much better! If you have the funds why cut yourself short.

Get a good pair of ext travel coilovers (that can be rebuilt/revalved to your liking for the life of the shock), uniball uca's, new leaf pack and a good rear shock and you'll be amazed how you eat up the terrain and not the other way around...the terrain eating you up! In Cali there's mainly fun higher speed stuff out there and thats where you'll shine yet have enough extra travel and dampening to run the slow articuation stuff too! Hell, you'll prob even end up LT after a few years like most of us, lol!

Good luck with whatever you do...it's fun and you'll learn a ton about your truck! The resale value on 5100's and OME is there so don't worry, lol!

Ask local guys what they're running!

What is the difference between fox regular coil overs and the extended travel?? Does one hav an advantage over the other one??

 

One has longer travel then the other

 

How much more?

 

There's about 1" extra down travel! You will need new uca's for those but "could" get the regular travel and keep stock uca's as long as you don't lift above 2.5"...alignment will start sucking! The regular travel can be re-built for extended travel by removing some of the internal shims if you changed your mind down the road!

Also, resi coilovers are not always needed unless your running high speed/whoops for extended periods of time. DSM has the new Fox non-resi coilovers and of course Icon makes a non-resi coilover you wouldn't over heat if you tried!
