Probably the best update for me....
100% mine now. First car I have ever paid off, usually sell them prior. Nice feeling not having a car payment anymore.

What shop are you going to use?
Maybe we can get a group buy/install from a local vendor for having 3 trucks go in. I'm going to be doing ARB front and rear lockers in addition to a 4.56 regear.

Just that much closer to having the suspension all done.

Awesome,
Need to get that dialed in before snow melt so several of us can go do a run!

Well the rear is finally done and the truck is so much better.
The rear consisted of Fox 2.5 DSCs for the Tundra. These shocks are 1" in body length longer which provides 2" of down travel. I only lost about an inch of up travel by adding a 1" bump spacer, which I was happy with. The Icon Overland springs went in as well.
Extended brake lines and Icon shin guards to wrap things up.
Can't wait to get on the trails!

looks good. I was about to go with fox for my LT front coil overs because of positive feedback on how the DSC works... but called around and got a 7mo lead time. That is not going to work for me LOL.
They are apparently beyond slow these days... Maybe the off the shelf stuff is available, but not sure if i could find the LT coil overs in stock anywhere....

When I ordered my front they were on a back order as well. I think it was only 2 or 3 months though. The rears took a little more the 2 months. They are slow but man are the nice!

The vendors I talked too said they would not even order from fox anymore...:frusty:

Still concerned the kings are too mushy for me on road without a swaybar. I know they would be fantastic offroad... I'm back in research mode. I finally got to talk to someone running fox and got a detailed review of them compared to kings for my use case... It seemed like the DSC would have given me the best of both worlds. Now I'm considering sticking with ICON again to get digressive, but need to talk to someone who has tried both King and Icon. Popular trend is clearly King, but I'm still not so sure that is the right choice for me without secondary bypasses to give it some platform. Guess I just like my Icon ride too much. The DSC on the fox seems to make a real difference... the adjusters on all the others are barely noticeable according to the people I have surveyed.

Shoot [MENTION=89562]bimrunner[/MENTION] a message. He is on Kings now and I believe was on Icons before.
And I can tell you the adjusters on the DSCs definitely work. They were cranked pretty high when I picked the truck up and made the ride stiff. Backed the low speed down a few clicks and boy does it ride smooth.

Can you possibly let me know how well the tundra rear Fox Shox work out also what is the part number for them?
