Any suspension nerds here?

It's 'flat/broken leafs' and rust holes in the frame.
If you're going to troll, do a better job.

In re OP, I got the OME Dakars, removed the third leaf paired with 5100s.
Up front, OME 883s and 5100s with no preload.
It was serviceable but you'll have to spend big dollars to overcome Toyota engineering.
Most Toyota bros are only after looks, not specific performance.
Spend your money on overwattage amber foglights for attention.

Took you long enough.

Agreed. My OME front and rear suspension on my Frontier has been great and rides great. Have had them installed for about 8 years now and have put around 70k hard miles on them, and finally one of the rear shocks has just started weeping a little oil.

King is what i have on my half ton. Rides very good. Was able to find a kit on FB that a guy never used

I may be the odd man out here but I’ve had Icon 2.5, their upper control arm, and their leaf springs. They were fun while they lasted but the fronts blew around 10k and the rears went around 13-14K. They leaked very early on and started making a awful thud noise. I’m no expert but I almost wonder if extreme cold and ice wrecked them. The upper control arm and leaf springs have been solid.

I replaced them with 6112 and 5160s and have actually liked them so far. I ordered the heavier king spring (650lb). The 5160’s are definitely the weak link I that setup.

I think the dislike for bilsteins and Icons are because they’re digressive valving. From my understanding, you get the real performance when you’re running them at a little higher speeds. I really noticed that with the icons.

I’m going to try the kings after I trash the bilsteins.
