OBX 4x4 Beach

Falcon's crushed it on the 4x4 beach in OBX. I was staying about 8miles up and they performed very well. Happy with the choice and glad I went with them!

Chime? I have had them for a year. Outstanding. Get the 1-2-3. Very happy with them. I used to be a bilstein loyalist but these were just what I needed at the correct price point.

Mule probably makes more off Falcon's than Bilsteins, but they also might like them better.

IIRC Falcon's are digressive valving the leans towards linear. This is similar to Bilstein which are digressive, so no difference there.

They're not similar to Toytec, King, FOX, which are all progressive.

Hi There! So I saw your post on your Limited 4Runner and the Falcon install issue, I was just about to order and saw that, is there a way that the issue with the bushing can be avoided? IE maybe ordering a set of bushings from a standard SR5 model since our limited model has a different suspension? If its not too much, could you send me a part number or photo or anything referring to the actual part that was a fitment issue? Thank you so much for your time I really appreciate it!

TOYOTA 4RUNNER | Falcon Shocks

I've only been running it for a day but I had my local shop rip out the XREAS system fully and install this. All went really well, it rides way better so far that I can tell and it looks pretty tough too. I had 120K miles on the stock XREAS shock setup and they were shot. Nose dive is pretty much gone and I've slammed a few speed bumps just to see and it feels way better. I swapped out stock 20" rims to TRD Pro grey rims along with new Nitto G2's at the same time.

There was one slight issue on install for a Limited model with XREAS. My shop mechanic had to ream out the metal pieces that sit on top of the bushing as the hole wasn't big enough to fit the Falcon shaft. My only complaint with the setup is that, for the money spent on it, I'm super surprised it didn't come with new bushings like Falcon's Jeep kits. Sort of cheap, if you ask me. Stock ones are fine but just the principal.

Time will tell to see how they perform for the next few years and miles ahead!

I guess Wheelers (if I remember correctly) selling them as a tow/heavy load optimized suspension is spot on.

I took them off my list once I read more about them.
I was not a fan of them on my Jeeps. Too stiff, but maybe an IFS would ride less stiff. Handled awesome.

Falcon vs. Bilstein 5160 / 6112

Bumping this.

Hoping to hear from actual experiences with this set up... Or even long term review...

Any more comments about overall ride quality?

How's the ON-road handling with this set up (roll/cornering/brake dive).

Bilstein 5160 are 4-6 months lead time from what I'm seeing. These cost more, they are available- Are they better?

They certainly look the business and from what I understand are well regarded amongst the Jeep guys...

How are these with factory uca and coils? I was debating 5100s and lift coils. It's a 2016 trail kdss. Way to spongy and boat like handling. Was wondering if you were running otherwise stock. I'm trying to find out what I can about the falcons. $2000 up in Canada

Will these work with KDSS?

Falcon led me to believe they won't.
