    So I noticed there isn’t a dedicated thread to this and I know there are tons of questions people have around Radflo since they are a lesser known company. Mainly because they don’t have a huge special media platform, they are more a word of mounts type of company. I’ve had my 2.5 radflos with resi for 1.5 years now and I can say I’ve been extremely happy with the quality ride and customer service! These are a built to order shock, not an off the shelf shock like some of the other popular companies out there. I would recommend 10/10 to anyone out there.

    That being said, show me you sweet Radflo setups! I’ll start!

    I love them.. they perform great off-roading might need to upgrade to a 700lb springs soon with all the weight I added and what shock relocation kit are you using?

    I don’t have the kit yet but I’ll be getting archive. His kit puts the shock tower as high as possible giving you the maximum amount of travel!

    Did you get the shorter rod end? No problems with the archive kit?

    I don’t think it’s a short end. I can take a picture for you later.

    fits great with archive.

    12 might be better to set up. All depends on the springs and other mods you have.

    I think adjusters are great. Just get the shock tuned before hand or you won’t like the desired settings

    Bump.. i just got my rear shocks.

    For those of you that have the resi how did youount the resis? I noticed they 90 the same direction i would like both resi to mount on the rear of the truck, so do i need to rotate one to face the other direction?

    Pic for reference

    Stuff and junk and things...
    FYI all Gen2/3 Tacoma rear resi shocks are built that way for most brands. They are made to be the same shock and have 1 resi going to the back and 1 going forward, no issue installing them as built.


    IF you wanted to change the resi hose routing you will need to depressurize the shock and rotate the ORB fitting and recharge with nitrogen. IMO not needed.

    2.5" resi on all 4 corners, ext travel. 700# on the fronts. Lots of back and forth with Shaun (sp?) at Radflo for tuning before ordering. My truck was over 6k# when I ordered, dropped some weight since. But got clickers front. Been thinking of getting the rears re valved and add clickers on rear.
    DuroBump bump stops work perfect with these also.

    Did anybody get extended travel rear shocks for the stock location? Looking to do the extended length Tundra rear shocks, like the Accutune kits, but from Radflo. I called and talked to Bryan, who was super helpful, but he hadn't heard of anyone doing this before.
