Where to buy Radflo 2.0 kit?

[HOJeepster]

I'm about to pull the trigger on suspension, question is, where can you buy the full 2.0 Radflo kit and Light Racing UCA's the cheapest? I see toytec and Metaltech sell the kits, but metaltech does not offer the rear radflo coils.

I was also curious what the difference is between the radflo 2.0 and radflo 2.0 extended kit where, and weather you can request the Overland Warehouse settings on these Radflo kits from either toytec or metaltech?

Or, would the extended travel Icon's be a good bet for $100 more?

These kits would be put on a 2006 sport running 275-65/18 duratracs.

What's the difference between these two coilovers?

2003 - 2009 4Runner Front Coil-over Shock Kit - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

2003 - 2009 4Runner Ext. Travel Front Coil-over Shock Kit - ICON Vehicle Dynamics

Do they each offer the same amount of travel?

the extended travel requires the LR UCA to allow the full stroke of the shock because it has a longer stroke than the non extended travel.

the non extended travel does not.

The extended travel setup is better for obtaining a 3"-3.5" lift and still maintaining full suspension travel as well as alignment. If your only going to lift 1-2" you can get away without the UCA.

Either radflo or icon suspension setup is extremely ideal you won't be disappointed. They are both tested specifically for the 4runner and valved accordingly to armor requirements, lift desires, and ride comfort.

The added feature of the adjustable coil over up front allows you to tune the preload of the coil to your comfort level and if you are planning to add bumpers and a winch you can get the 2.5 setup from radflo and leave it set to zero until you get your armor instead of dealing with a harsh ride say like an Old man emu would provide without proper weight.

The Icon extended travel will give you about 1" additional droop over standard. The difference is internal as the shock body dimension is the same for both. The price on either is the same but with the extended travel you have to run an aftermarket UCA or risk breaking the stock upper ball joint when the CO extends all the way. Since you plan on getting an aftermarket UCA anyway then go with the extended travel.

As far as getting OW spec Radflos, I believe you can still get them directly by contacing Glenn at Radflo.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty read up on the Radflo systems, I just had never heard about the extended travel versions.

Looks like I'll go with the Radlfo 2.0 extended travels with LR UCA's. I'm estimating this giving me about 3 inches of lift in front and about 2 in the rear...?

I'm currently running the daystar 2.5/1.5...but I can tell my stock shocks are fading...and I'd like to gain 1 inch more in the front and another 1 inch in the rear over the current daystar setup to achieve a 3.5/2.5 total lift from stock.

Wondering if my 275-65/18's are going to look too small or if I could possible fit 265/70/18's next...

cheers

I know its not 18s but i run 265/70/17s on just a daystar just fine on mine. Zero issues.
