Suspension for 2017 DCSBOR - PNW fireroad running

What @totmacher said. Just go hit the fire roads you are talking about down around 20 psi. See if that's the level of comfort you are looking for. Did you try this in your 4Runner before or were you running full pressure?

 

I ran the t4r at 18-20 offroad

 

just to add:
I dont do ALL fireroads, its just a lot of what I do and I want to be able to run them at a decent speed without shaking myself apart [the ICON was very stiff - hence my including and being adamant about this]
I'm guessing I will be
60% on asphalt
30-35% fireroad [and the fireroads here arent nice smooth gravel roads - most of them are pretty bad - rutted out, huge potholes, washouts....]
5-10% completely offroad

 

It sounds like a performance coilover is what would be best for you. I’ll still stick with my suggestion of kings and dakars, buying kings from accutune and dakars from headstrong. Bombing a fire road fast is a whole lot of fun.

 

Looking at the JBA UCA - anyone have experience with the full JBA suspension package?

It’s terrible, don’t buy it. Minus their UCAs of course, those are awesome.

 

@Synergy001 help the PNW bro out.

 

@nosamk
Also in the pnw
Im currently running that same fox kit on my 3rd gen sport 4x4. It's a super soft ride. Almost too soft, but I haven't cranked up the front coilovers or added the rear AAL yet. So maybe the ride quality will change after I add preload to the front coilovers.
Also I believe they come with coils that are 600# spring rate so if you're looking to add any weight in the future might want to look into something with a 650# or 700# spring rate, cause that's what im dealing with now

 

Thanks man!! I dont have plans for a bumper [or shell] so I should be fine with the 600#. also planning on the dakar pack instead of an AAL. Did you alter the preset/factory ride height they come set at? what kind of increase did you get?

 

They come set at 2" for second gen, or 1" for 3rd gens. So it pretty much just leveled it out. I'm hoping to get atleasst 2" in front and 1.5" aal in rear. Just waiting till I have the time to install it all

 

I would reach out to actual builders such as Camburg, Solo-Motorsports, Bilstein etc. Perhaps the conversation should also include dampening characteristics not just soft or firm. What the setup is will need to be significantly different on paved roads vs dirt roads full of holes and braking bumps.

 

Cranking down the coils will only adjust ride height. The ride quality is really coming from the valving in the shocks. Give us a call when your ready to have them tuned, we can definitely help you get squared away

 

Just ordered an Accutune package with adjustable Kings. I'll let you know what I think when I get it all installed.
