Does anyone run the Toytec Boss lift with rear piggyback shocks? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

This looks brand new so I can't imagine that anyone has them yet, but I was cruising the Toytec site last night and came across them. I wonder how they stack up to other piggyback systems.

I am torn between dreaming big with King coilovers and maybe Superflex in the back, or a more practical Toytec Boss complete lift.

I've never seen them, they are most likely a new product. Part of me wants to try a nice shock like that in the rear, but at the same time $500 for a set of rear shocks is a lot of money. My LC shocks were $40 each new from Toyota. I've debating buying a used set that needs rebuilding and rebuilding them myself.

I've been running the prototypes for months now, and no issues. I love them actually haha they have me addicted to resi's now! I'll be running them until I can afford to LT and throw on extended travel resi's on all four corners. I haven't run any other resi brands to compare them too, but they're seriously a night and day difference from normal shocks. One bounce after a bump and the truck settles immediately.

Yeah, they are not exactly cheap, but seem to sit at a target price point south of other top brands, Icon, King piggybacks. I wonder how different they compare to a normal Boss shock vs. Something like anew Icon or King piggyback.

Cool! Where can I sign up to test a set?

Haha it's one of the perks of working there!

Sidenote related to working there--I wish I had experience with other resi's to provide the answers you're looking for in terms of comparisons, just so I don't sound like I'm completely biased to my own company, but I really do love them. I'm hard on my truck and daily it seventy miles and wheel as often as I can and they've performed great so far. I've had them installed for six months now with no issues at all. If they had been available when I originally bought my lift and I didn't get a set to test for free, I would have bought them anyway. I just wish we made front coilover resi's so I can replace my Bilsteins now haha

Good rear shocks make all the difference in the world. I don't have these but I have Bilstein 7100's and they are night and day difference. Like Bambi_runner6 said. After a big bump they settle immediately. I just want to figure out a way to make the front end feel as good as the rear without spending thousands of dollars on shocks and LT

What rear coils are you running then? I am warming up to the idea of a Boss set up front and back.
