Any suspension nerds here?

Tacoma TRD off road comes with Bilstein shocks. Pro is fox I believe.

My Ranger Tremor has Fox, and I didn't realize they need a rebuild at 50,000 miles. Which I have not done still at 80K. ride is not horrible, but noticeable.

I have looked at the Eibach line and like them. I plan to replace the ranger soon, as I don't keep anything much past pay off. My next ride may just be a plain ole 4x4 and add my own suspension.

ICON's with CDC adjusters. You really can't get better bolt-on performance than that.

Disclaimer: I drive my overweight truck faster than I should, so my preference reflects the need for a good balance of valving for small/medium bump compliance and decent large bump (oopsie) support while not blowing through travel.

I have a 2nd Gen ZR2 on custom spec ADS. Had King before and also ran the stock DSSV for a while. Three of my friends have ICON w/ CDC and all of them perform amazingly. Those out of the box ICON's are better than my friend's Taco on Fox 2.5 Baja Kits mid travel w/ 12" rear on custom leafpack. Lets just say that if ICON released a set for 2nd Gen ZR2, I'd consider selling my ADS. The bottom out support is second to none (that i've experienced). Also have time with Old Man Emu (VERY STIFF), Bilstein 4600 (decent budget), Bilstein 5100 (great budget), Fox 2.5 (On the stiffer side but dual comp adjusters help a lot).

I would like to try a set of the Bilstein 8112 series. They seem like they would be a strong contender against ICON with similar compression "zones".

Haven’t really thought about it, if I’m going to do it I want it to be noticeably better than current and I know nothing is cheap

Multimatic would be awesome but assume it’s not very straightforward and probably a lot of dough

I would think 5k is what I would tell my wife as a budget, but I’m not great at staying under budget

I dont care if its a truck or a bike. Suspension money is some of the best money you can spend IMO. $5k oughtta get it done

What are you wanting it to do? Just be a badass on the loggin roads or are you wanting to air that bitch out?
