    After 151k you're going to love anything you put on it.

    Other great brands to check out would be ADS and King. They're higher end but they're both fully rebuild able and either will be the last suspension you ever buy.

    Also yes

    I'm also a perfectionist and that doesn't help at all.

    It's a curse.

    Long story short, the third in my truck needs to be pulled and sent in. I think the seal on my locker is bad. It wont hold any pressure

    I didn’t but got a killer deal on that full setup with ucas an aal is why. The ome was brutal compared to your setup. Been doing some reading in weeks past. I know they get a lot of flack but the ranch 9000xl not quiklift up front has some awesome reviews an it’s longer than king an ome fully extended but a C$&T hair. Has a internal bump stop on rebound an has a 2.75 diameter an is adjustable. An works with ome 886 I know.
    not hatin but very informative didn’t know that :fistbump:

    Yeah, truck was not neglected, but not babied when I got it. I picked it up for a pretty sweet price so I figured what the hell. I’ve sworn I would have another Tacoma since I sold my 1st gen in 2008.

    Didn't know that about the 9000XL, does sounds like a hell of a shock. After I did all my homework on Icon, King, ADS, and Fox, and bought my Kings, I haven't looked into shocks any further. Though, I have been toying with the idea of tearing my fronts down and rebuilding them to a custom, longer, length. Like extended travel+ basically.

    You know I'm just pulling your leg Borbi-Wan Kenobi

    No need to do that lol, but i do appreciate it! i think itll be covered under warranty i just gotta call and see what they can do for me. Maybe they can send me another replacement 3rd so that i dont have any downtime.. if they cant do that i need to find another third i can throw in there to seal things back up until i get mine back since i dont have a garage to store it in.

    Your nuts an love what your doing might as well go LT up front then probably cheaper in the long run. There is some unfortunate things happening at the extended home front may be parting with the kings soon to help family out. It’s unfortunate but such is life.
    If that happens I will be getting the ranchos an b100s out back.

    I wouldn’t if the 295s are anywhere as sluggish as you say.

    Fully aware I'm not sane. But in my defense, I have never claimed to be!



    I will go full long travel when I can afford the Marlin RCLT kit lol

    Sucks about losing your Kings but that's a helluva good cause. I'd offer to buy them and hold them for you but I don't think I could afford them at the moment.

    Its not bad at all actually especially after adding the header recently and swapping to a less restrictive filter. I think 4.88s could handle it pretty well, but id want 5.29s if i ran 35s. I just get used to driving the other one and then it just feels slow haha. It always gets you there though:D

    No worries your a good dude, I wouldn’t want the good cause of essientally a loan I’d want them to be used as intended an just run what I had prior it served me well but I know there is better budget friendly options than ome. So I’ll give the ranchos a go plus I don’t mind being a oddball of sorts.
    :rofl:I can only imagine the red one being a rocket.
