    Brian, did you get your setup installed out here? I'm making a call to DSM today for some Fox shocks. Don't know where to install.

    I had Seth do it for me. Knowing what I know now, it wouldn't be hard to help you out. I think Seth might not be doing anymore, he's getting rid of his spring compressor, but I can ask for you. I'm sure he would appreciate some compensation for his time as well, seeing as he's done so many lately.


    As for the DSM deal, I believe as long as you call them, mention the deal on TW, they will honor it. They have gotten alot of business from it so I think the deal with be on indefinite at this point. Talk to Marco, tell him I said hi :)

    I just asked Seth, he said he'd be willing to do it for you. You'll need to get in touch with him and arrange a date.

    heres my mid travel out at barstow hitting washes at around 50-60 mph

    DH 2.5 coils, icon ucas, and spindles but you can't run being 4x4
    rear is icon 2.0 rr with deaver j66 pack

    mounted a go-pro on the door so u can see wheel flex this setup handles great

    you won't be dissapointed with the fox shocks all around and tc ucas performance thats gonna be a great setup can't wait to see it installed

    Sweet vid man! Looks like the suspension works great. Pismo is a great place too. I had my truck there last year. It was a great time.

    Awesome vid. Looks like your suspension was working great. I will be sure to post pictures of mine when i get back from deployment and actually get it installed.

    Your truck looks so clean man, I love it! Are you running Deavers or AllPro? Your build says AllPro with Icon's out back. Just wanted to see how you like them and are the springs/shock lengths compatable....compression, extension, ext? If you had both how do they compare?

    Good looking out! I remember seeing someone named Seth but I can't think of his username. Can I get his username? I was messaging Marco during my deployment so we have worked something out. Looking at foxes with a heavier rating spring for my planned relentless bumper and winch. Pretty much what JLink is running now.

    kind of leaning towards icons right now. and i may just go AAL, to save a few bucks and invest them elsewhere on the truck.

    To each his own man! Can't tell you how many setups I've ran through in my head. I had a few that cost more but with just have buying a 2011 4runner for my wife this seems like the best for what I want and for a cost I can deal with. I gotta get rid of the blocks the dealer put on my Tacoma. Good luck with your choice!

    Yea I just pulled the trigger today. Fox ext travel, w/700 # springs from DSM plus their UCAs and then AllPro standard 3" rear kit. The DSM deal still is going. Just gotta mention TW when you call. Marco was a lot of help.

    Its too bad their ability to valve shocks doesn't match their customer service

    Who are you talking about here? I was in the phone with Marco from DSM today for 20 mins talking about what I was looking to do for my truck. I felt the customer service was excellent. On top of that he was quick to reply to my pm more than once.
