Shock absorbers FOX or Dobinsons
Fox 2.5" internal bypass shock and springs off a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.
Adds about 1" in height. Rides a bit firmer that stock shocks on paved roads and performs great off-road.
Pros: performs great off-road
Cons: firmer on paved roads
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 5000 km
At the comp level you get Fox Rhythm 36 in the front and Float X in the back. Nice stuff for what most people will do with the bike.
Pros: nice stuff
Go for the Fox. I have them, I like them.
Pros: I like them
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Fox 2.0s on my wife’s suburban, very happy with them.
Pros: very happy
IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear
Pros: has been great
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.
Pros: firmer but less crashy
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases
Pros: rides like a Cadillac
Cons: harsh when empty
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I just slapped the full dobinsons nitro 2" lift on my 2006 sport with their confort/stock feel springs. Was about $1600 which included the rear coil conversion kit. Installed it myself on a saturday, then got it aligned at a shop. I previously had 5100 struts when I was sock height with the airbags for about a year, and the dobs shocks are noticeably better.
Pros: noticeably better shocks
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I also just went through TreatyOak for a Dobinsons twin tube. 2.5 up front, new UCA, rear bag delete(1”) and 1” springs. Sitting nice and level.
Pros: sitting nice and level
Bought these Dobinson shocks and coils in October, photos are in May with service records indicating only 2,000 km of driving! Within 5 months these are looking like they wont last 2 years.
Cons: wont last 2 years
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 2000 km
