Another Suspension question - Toytec Radflo vs OW

[CApilot78]

All, I have been trying to decide on a suspension system for a while. I like OW 2.5", but it is the priciest of the bunch (with the exception of Icon Stage XXXX). I saw Toytec has a "radflo" suspension on sale for $1,199. If I upgraded that suspension to 2.5" shocks vs 2.0 it is $1,350. The fronts are Radflo, the rears are Icon or Bilstein (my choice). Also, the fronts are 2.5" and the rears are 2.0".

So, for the extra $400 (which to me is a lot of $$$$) is the 2.5" in the rear from OW worth it? Radflo's lift with the 2.5" shock in the front is 600lb springs. I believe the OW is 650 or 700lb springs.

I know this has been beat to death, and there are a number of you who love the OW kit, but does anyone have the Toytec Radflo kit that can speak to it?

The quick answer is the kit on Toytec is different from the Overland Warehouse kit.

With the OW/Radflo kit the front spring is 700 lbs. Plus the rear springs are custom spec by Overland. The OW rear spring will provide a little more lift then most other rears due to the anticipation of added rear weight. The nice part about the Overland kit is the valving on the shocks is all custom ordered to your needs, just contact the guys at Overland.

Oh and yes the Radflo 2.5 rear shocks are definitely worth it. I have no complaints with my kit. It is a very balanced system.
