Anyone run Fox 2.0?
I need more damping on my tundra. 2016 CM. 99% Street and towing. 1% off-road use. I mean I'm rolling on stock size Michelin MS tires.
I'm fine with stock suspension for decent roads for the way I use this truck. Unfortunately my local roads are pretty terrible generally and mostly unplowed in winter so it's like washboard all over. In summer highways become rollercoaster rides because it's all built on swamplands. With a trailer the tundra really struggles to keep the whole train under control on the whoops.
Anyway - looking for something maybe $1k range. Really don't want anything with spherical bearings. Rubber! I'm not against the race parts, but I'm not racing. I want the softer rubber and don't love replacing them every year or so. (Had fox 2.5 factory series on my last one).
I also prefer a softer progressive valving over digressive. I'd rather not have to open up new shocks to revalve.
Plan to keep stock height. I found my last fox setup to ride very nicely at stock height. I've also had 5100s - were fine, but a bit harsh on small bumps. Looking for comfort.
I've searched a lot and there reviews are all over the map from "plush" to "very harsh". Anyone put them on a tundra at stock height? Thoughts?
I also saw that there's a new icon snap ring that's cheap. Looks good in many ways. My experience with ICON is that they're "digressive" but actually pretty soft. I generally like the ride. Biggest downside is the spherical bearings. If they had rubber bushings they'd be my first choice. But it's a bit of a deal breaker for be.
Not sure what else is out there for factory height.
Edit: I really want the TRD pro Fox setup. Been watching and prices are finally falling. But still about $2500 for the full set new. If they blow them out like they did on the 4Runner Bilstein sets a few years ago I'll jump on those for sure. But I'm not sure that'll happen.
Winter sale on the Fox 2.0 fronts and 2.0 rear adventure series or whatever the cheapest ones are called are $795 for the set. Seems decently priced for entry level stuff.
