So, this happened today...
I've been trying to fight ordering Radflos and look at other brands, but there's really no good solution out there, besides going custom. My Tundra 5100 setup has worked fine, but I'm limited on my up-travel since I don't have the custom top hats. Additionally, both front shocks are leaking already, just over a year in. To get the setup correct, I'd need to order new 5100s and get the custom top hats, but is it worth it if I'm blowing shocks once a year? The setup is great to get a budget entrance into a Titan swap but I'm not convinced it will work for the driving I do. Yes, there's some technical off-roading I do (or attempt
) but I also like to get some speed in the desert. The speed, I think, is what has contributed to a premature death for these shocks. Oh, did I mention one of the rears is leaking too? Rear Rads are in the near future, as soon as I get a response back from 4x4 Parts about whether they have 3-5" rear shocks or Greg calls me back, whichever comes first.
Why did I go with 4x4 Parts? Well, they literally have the shocks sitting on the shelf right now. I love the other companies out there, but I don't want to wait. I'd like to try to get these installed ASAP. The picture is not correct, they are built with the shock body down and spring up.
