    Matt, you're the first. But you have to help me decide what to get. :D There is a problem with them though. Sagging on the driver side. I'm not sure if they were made to hold all that weight.

    Ok no problem! Have you looked at the Rad flo 2.0 0r 2.5. You can find them on Toytecs site and there only $849 compared to over $1000 for icon's or kings and so on. All the guys that have them on this site have nothing but good things to say about them. They are race proven coilovers. Check em out!:D

    I've never heard of them. Looks like they offer pretty much any setup for any application. I might have to give them a call and see what they say. Do you think remote reservoir is the way to go?

    all are about the same! Its just with the big names like Fox, King, Icon, your just pauing for the name. theres also SAW's, Walker Evans. but like i said with the big guys your just paying for there name. The Rad Flo has just as good rating as any of them. all built with the same concept to them!:D

    Like i said before the Remote Rezi's are for dissipating the heat but you will never get them up to that level of heat if you arent out there high speeding your truck like a racer! Not needed at all for what you would be doing.

    4x4_TRD, my only suggestion is get something that has good dealer/service support. Fox and King are very popular and for good reason. I really like the quality of Fox's products from Motorsports to Bikes. I had my rears revalved by suggestion of Down South Motorsports and they felt so much better than the OEM specs. That was based on them having experience with the shock. You'll find the same with King.

    If your not balling on a budget I'd say Fox, King or Icon. If you are then look at Radflo...they have some good prices and seem to have good reviews.

    In regards to the purpose of a reservoir to increase the capacity of oil the shock can hold, which keeps it from getting hot and causing the shock to fade.

    Pretty sure Tri and the other Socal guys who have King Suspension love them, same with us who have the Fox stuff. Tri went with King cause he got a KILLER DEAL off CL. King is the only company who makes an OEM 2.5 rear shock. If you decide to get Fox rear shocks get the ones for the FJ or from All-Pro. The Tacoma one is designed stupid and puts a oil line to the reservoir in down low and venerable to getting hit.
