I am creeping up on 40k miles on my 2018 Pro. My stock Nittos are getting awfully loud and its almost time to replace them. I really want to go to a 285 and small lift to clear that tire.

3 years ago my research was narrowed down to BP51s but I've recently read about some rust issues with the bearings that has got me rethinking. My second choice was Bilsteins. 6112/5160 is pretty much what is on the older Pros. I am perfectly fine with that as a option. I always like to replace things with better so I started looking at the (announced, but not available when I was researching) 8112.

People also mentioned Dobinsons but I got very overwhelmed with their options.

Anyhow has anything changed? How are the OEM Fox setups holding up over time? I am sure I could find someone modding a near new 4Runner and get his take offs for a decent price.

What are your thoughts?

Little background, I mostly drive paved and gravel fire roads. Although one could argue that my local highway system is much like dessert running with all the pot holes.. Which actually brings me to my point. I have enjoyed the "more compliant" TRD Pro suspension for traveling with my 4Runner. I would like to keep with that capability of sailing "high speed" over massive pot holes and road imperfections. I most certainly don't rock crawl so low speed performance doesn't matter much to me.

The only real off-roading I do is an annual trip to a beach house that requires 5-9 miles of driving on a coastline and slightly inland, but its all beach all the time, Corolla NC.
