Amazing, thank you for the detailed reply. Really appreciate it.

I'm in Atlanta.You? I paid some dude on here for one but he hasn't shipped it yet and it's been two+ weeks so i think that money is gone.

Agree with you that the TRDs are likely the best single solution for most folks, given all the considerations I have (ride, height, rebuildability), they certainly are for me. Appreciate the rundown and analysis! Great to hear some different perspectives. Now to go list my 1 year old Fox 2.0s...

Yeah, that's wild... I'm guessing you found the 2.5RRs to be good on the runner? I can definitively say now after a few days with the TRD Pro Foxes that my old Fox 2.0s were significantly stiffer. The TRD Pro Foxes are such a night and day difference over the 2.0s that I regret not doing...

Just picked up the truck last night and did some in-town driving. Very, very noticeable improvement in how much these shocks soak up. The rear are the biggest improvement. With the Fox 2.0s, the rears seemed WAY harsher than the front, and now i realize how much that was affecting my opinion...

Are you saying the Fox 2.0s went on your Tundra? If so, that would explain why our experiences with them were totally different. I upgraded to them last year, and found them to be at least as harsh if not stiffer than the Bilstein 5100s over smaller bumps, which is what I finally got fed up...

A friend dropped a nut into the running engine and punched a hole in my timing cover in 2020. It cost $4.5k all-in with parts and labor. It's a huge job. Front clip, cooling system, and all accessory drive/ belts have to come off. Bonus is you get an oil change, coolant flush, and AC flush out...

Thanks! Found one but the guy hasn't shipped it yet so I may seek a refund and try to snag yours. Will keep ya posted.

In fact that's what I did! Snagged a set off ebay and will get them installed next week. Across my 2 4R's, my buddy's 4R and his wife's i've installed probably 6 sets of shocks so I'm throwing this one to a shop I like. I've had my fill! I'll report back on my impresssions of ride quality.

That's right, I'm the one guy you've heard of who's going BACK to OEM after doing a CAI. I'm getting older and tired of the noise, funny how that works. Anyone got their OEM intake left over after installing an aftermarket unit? (My bad - posted this over in the for sale section before...

Well, there goes my theory about stock at least being cushier... it's a good thought, but I have General Grabber APTs in stock sizes, SL load rating. I picked them since they have a nice mellow AT/HT mix and an accoustic layer as well. They're mounted on TRD wheels which are also pretty light...

Unfortunately I don't know...I bought the truck with it. It was installed by "windshieldhub.com" and one of their subcontractors. I can say for sure it wasn't OEM. The replacement's replacement isn't OEM either, and it has been great so far.

Three years ago I installed Bilstein 5100s and poly sway bar bushings on my '18 SR5 for leveling and body control. No complaints with amount of front lift and ride. About a year go, I moved to an area with terrible roads - broken pavement, potholes, multiple speed breakers for a few miles in...

Same. Thought I'd resurrect my own old thread to share findings in case it helped anyone else. I had been parking in an underground garage from '20-23, and so I only ever drove in heavy enough rain a few times to get the windshield to leak. Last year I moved and parked outside on a slight...
