    How would Fox Racing coilovers compare to these two? I don't here them mentioned as much on TW, but know that they're awesome ATV and bicycle shocks.

    Those Kings look pretty sweet! I love my Icons! With the TC UCAs, the ride is great! On and off road. Not that I have got to do much off roading with them yet. For what I use my truck for I just couldn't justify spending the extra $300 bucks for RRs. And the Icons offered one more inch for lift. I was going for 3'' up front. The Icons come set at 2''. I installed them without adjusting them, but then didn't have to. My truck sits just as level as before. I don't really get how that works out, but it sits nice and rides nice so Im cool with it. Now I just have to get shocks for the back.

    Wow, I started this poll in Aug. It took since then for the Kings to out rank the Icons. I got my Icons in Nov. I can't believe people are still comenting on this thread.

    I see that you guys have a kit for the FJ's that comes with the same stuff you have pictured on the Tacoma here, front RR coilovers and rear RR shocks. For the package deal on the FJ it's about 2 grand, how much for the same package deal for a 2009 tacoma? If I can get the pictured setup for around 2 grand + tax and labor in December, I'd be all over that!!!

    I sent you guys an e-mail really reallly early this morning. I'm curious, are the 2.0" remote reservors for a '09 Tacoma $250 each? I think they are the 8.0" travel length?

    Can you post or send me a PM for the 2.5" King front coilovers and 2.0" King remote res. shocks and how much it will cost me to have you guys install them? I won't need an alignment right away, so just install price.

    Thanks
