TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Agreed 6112s, 5160s, correct the spring rates for your bumper and if you feel you need it new leaf packs, adding an add a leaf to a tired stock leaf pack doesn't do much.

My fronts went till about 130k before failing. My rears were done under warranty at 59k and still look great.

 

I'm the 2nd owner. Dealership had it before me as a parts runner. I have no idea how long these parts have been on it. Just noticed the red on the coils is started to split/peel off. Figured it's time to replace. Started looking and holy crap! You guys spend a ton on this and I don't want to get it wrong lol.

 

Does feel tired too? Paint chipping from coils doesn't mean its smoked. Is there noise? How do the bushings look? What about the oil weeping from the seals?

 

No it doesn't. Feels the same as the day I got it really. Bushings look old but fine. Haven't noticed any oil weeping.

I've had my tools out of the box all week and it actually seems rougher riding than when I have it loaded.

 

I won't say for certain, but if it isn't causing issues, and you don't have a loss in dampening. I would plan on replacing parts as preventative when its convenient. I got 130k out of my fronts and I spend a lot of time off pavement. One of my fronts was even still in good shape.

 

Impressive! Post up some pics, let's see what these 190k shocks look like.

 

Impressive amount of miles on those indeed!

 

It's was built by Dezert Toy Fab https://deztoyfab.com/ He builds some truly awesome stuff!

 

Icon RXT leaf pack is on its way. Still debating on the rest.
Here is what I've found:
Bilstein 6112 & 5160 $1,570
OME BP-51 front and rear $2,880
Bilstein 8112 $ 8100. $3,150

Are OMEs and "higher end" Bilsteins worth paying roughly twice as much?
They do look pretty sexy imo

 

Nice. I was going to recommend the RXT pack.

If you want to get another 100+k miles Id stick with the 'OEM' stuff. The "off road" stuff like King, Fox, OME etc tends to be higher maintenance with lower spherical bearings instead of bushings and expected life of about 30k miles based on what folks say

 

Nice, the RXT pack is great.
If your stock shocks have been doing what you need for so long I'd stick with the 6112 / 5160 combo. And some 650lbs springs instead of the stock 600lb ones if you're adding a front plate bumper.

 

Yeah those are smoked, I would go with 6112s if you like the maintenance interval.

 

$40,750

 

That's nuts. I'm running about 30k miles a year! No way I could manage this yearly. Is it sacrilege to run let's say the OMEs in the rear with bilsteins up front? Even worth it with the new leafs? Thank you everyone

 

Are you planning on doing offroading? Or just general driving?

If the former, an upgrade would probably be appreciated in driving comfort. If the latter, i'd stick with OEM. Sounds like your main issue is carry weight which the RXT pack takes care of. Also great choice, I've been running them for a couple years now and love em.

In regards to an earlier comment you made, yeah your truck will seem rougher with an empty bed than without. They're built to carry stuff, even our little rinky dink Tacos. Usually feels better with the bed loaded.

 

Bilsteins are on the way. Went ahead and got new air filters and gear oil also. I may never financially recover from this

 

Do you have a supercharger yet? If not, you still have a lot of money to spend!

 

God damn this thing is a beast hahahaha
