Availability for now to next 3 months on higher end aftermarket suspensions? (1 Viewer)

[gx2lc]

Hello all,

I’m interested in improving the handling and ride quality of the LC200. This is squarely a want, not a need. The stock suspension is fine for my needs. However, my wants are a little different. I have a spirited driving style and the stock suspension’s nose dive, floaty feeling / lack of plantedness at highway speed, and body roll in turns leaves some to be desired. I want to be able to take turns and drive down fire roads at speed!

Problem is it looks like many of the popular aftermarket suspension options are OOS for a few months given demand.
- OME BP51 appears to be OOS for 3 months according to one vendor I called
- Kings 2.5s is also OOS for 6 months per Filthy Motorsports
- Not sure about Dobinson’s MRA
- Icon‘s seem to be in stock but are quite expensive compared to the rest (2x the cost of BP-51 for a stage 6 kit with UCAs)

I can be patient for <= 3 months but would prefer not to wait longer unless there truly are no other options available. I’m looking for adjustable or custom tunable so I can adjust ride quality for wife/dogs (comfort) vs sport.

Anyone know of a place where I can score a kit?

If you don’t need heavier springs, check Exit Offroad’s Dobinson selection.

Thanks for the tip! Will give them a call first thing Tuesday morning.

Go hit up Radflo. They're made to order.

Fox also has 2.5s for the 200.

Woah! I have not seen them as an option before. Those look amazing.

I just talked to Accutune last week and they said they have a few king/fox 2.5s on order that could be delivered by end of summer. Everything else if you ordered today would be 24-27 week lead time.

Millcreek Overland has had Icon Slinky kits in stock. Pretty good price in my opinion

Try OK4WD. They are about 1 hour from the city. Very solid shop as well. Been around for more than 40 years doing 4X4. They did quite a bit of custom work on my rig. And they have an odd way of sourcing parts, or they just keep an inventory? They are worth a shot.
