2.0 coils with remote or 2.5 without?

[Brian3676]

Metal Tech is having a sale this weekend, 15% off. I am going to take advantage of this and buy some Radflo front coils. I have enough for either 2.0 with remote reservoirs or the 2.5 without. I don't do any hi-speed desert driving, but do a lot of trail type stuff. Sometimes gravel roads at medium speeds. I also daily drive it.

What option would everyone suggest?

Thanks!

2.5" without. Not sure why they even make 2.0 RR.

For the beefier shock shafts and close to the same oil capacity and more dampening ability.

I've got Icon rear RR, but only because I couldn't afford 2.5s at the time and there's enough weight back there fully loaded that I wanted the extra space.

I'm planning on 2.5s without in the front though.

Thats what I was leaning towards, but just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks for the input.

I would say 2.5" without a resi as long as they are internal floating piston and not emulsion.

I just called and talked to MetalTech. Just like me previous experience with them when buying other toys for my 4Runner, they are very helpful and great to talk with. He recommended the 2.5s for my situation. I asked about extended travel vs standard (I am ordering UCA at same time) and he said if I have UCAs to just get the extended since they are the same price. Street driving and all that I will notice 0 difference in how it drives, but on a trail, the extra 7/8" can be really nice.
