We tested FIVE different suspension setups without knowing which setup we were driving, all on the same exact truck, in the same terrain. We wanted to know what setup was the best with NO biases. We were very surprised by the results!
Fox, King, Elka, Bilstein and Icon were all tested in this full review series shoot out.

I randomly came across you guys 2 days ago with the fox blind test and now this has become part of my routine looking for the new review of the day. Very Entertaining guys!

@PittiesAndMore Год назад

The music is TOO LOUD when they are in the garage towards the end of the video. It's distracting when they are describing the stocks. You can barely hear Braeden over the music. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@OverlandOutfitters Год назад

Tried to fix that before it came out but ran out of time. We had a lot of audio issues on this specific video

@WheelEveryWeekend Год назад

This was a really good one, i had no idea these were IFP shocks! For the price i was very impressed with them.

@chrislee4946 Год назад

@WheelEveryWeekend I’ve been running a set of 8112s and 8100 smooth body’s since November so probably a tad less than 8k miles on them. Are you able to tune these for me if I could take them off and send to you? If so what’s your turn around time normally as it’s my daily driver. I could buy a set of 5100s to use until I get them back

@VBmike2100 8 месяцев назад

So do you guys think Icon would have been the best if you had the external reservoir versions?

@TacoDan_ovldr Год назад

Soooooo where can we buy these used shocks 😅

@waxifari5528 Год назад

I went Icon Stage 9 primarily because it was a complete (brainless) solution w/leafs and UCAs. I’ve been so pleased with it I wouldn’t change it for any price. Firm it up when loaded and on road. Soften it up at air down and hitting dirt. Makes my heavy taco ride like a dream. Love this series - keep it up.

I have Icons, front and rear, but I went with SPC upper control arms. The bushings in BOTH UCAs already have play in them after 5000 miles.... Needless to say I'm very disappointed and am not even interested in replacing them. Would you guys recommend Icon UCAs??

@waxifari5528 Год назад

@@patrickshoemaker6047 I went with the iCon Billet admittedly for looks but that said I haven’t had any issue. Probably at about the same ie 5k mil - so still young but yeah, been solid for me.

need to round up the whole series in and easy to review format 1-10 scale and rank them all according to your blind tests. Would be way more helpful than the drawn out series. or at least do this when you are done please thanks

@jgm113 Год назад

Love the videos but the music is super distracting

@waffles2138 Год назад

I think your levels on the music are too high to the point that it's getting in the way of the guys talking. There were several points in the video where I couldn't hear key points being made and had to go back and turn captions on.

@OverlandOutfitters Год назад

We actually had a lot of audio issues with this specific video, some of our mics stopped working and we didn't notice until it was too late. The other videos are better. Sorry about that.

@Jonboy4371 9 месяцев назад

The background music is so loud I can barely understand some of what you guys are saying at the end of the video.

@WeekendWarriors87 Год назад

Would love to see this repeated with 2.0s. I have heard the foxes run soft in 2.0 compared to other brands (Im looking at f150s). But this has been super informative, I looked at the fox 2.5 but do not want stiff shocks for dirt road riding

@404_unavailable_69 Год назад

How would these compare to bilstein 6112s ?

@smashwindow01 Год назад

Love this series! I hope Y'all can keep expanding on these and add the Dobinsons MRR and maybe the Bilstein 8112 which doesn't get much attention.

@useryggfdcc Год назад

I really like the Bilstein 6112 front and Bilstein 5100 on my 2021 Tacoma TRD 4X4. On my very first off road adventure the front Bilstein 4600 shock bend on the lower part of the shock. I was shocked to see that happen on a TRD 4X4 OFFROAD model truck. The 6112 are very good on the front suspension of the Tacoma.

@chrislee4946 Год назад

Very curious to see the last 2! I’m running 8112s on 600# springs and JBA UCAs with 8100 smooth body’s in the rear at the moment on icon rxt stage 2 and archive flip kit and bumps 33” Toyo OC AT3s. TRD Pro front skid and RCI steel under the belly

@mushyho Год назад

patiently waiting on the bilstein review!

@oTUSKo Год назад

Gotta test some ADS next, I threw some of their bypasses in as secondaries in the front of my 4runner. Running fox bypasses in the rear and fox coilovers up front, I've pulled those foxes apart and revalved them a few times though. Once you start taking shocks apart and tuning them yourself i feel like it really comes down to what you can find parts for the easiest. Also what are the people you tune with running and know how to tune.

@DUNEATV Год назад

Do you guys have any experience with the “factory” Toyota Trd 2 inch lift that the dealership offers?

@MaskedArtisan Год назад

I understand the dssv multimatic shocks are gm shock but id be curious to see what you guys had to say about them in comparison.

@LmNoP5551 Год назад

I wish I had this series a couple years ago when i was lookin everywhere for reviews, knowing i didnt need the best of the best to get by for my taco. Went with the Icon stage 3 for the easy complete install and havent looked back. I would def recommend them, thanks for the vid.

@KeithBickford Месяц назад

I couldn’t detect any bias whatsoever 😅

@KangarooSpotlight 3 месяца назад

Thanks a lot for the video. Would be lovely to see how they are performing on the ramp, what the actual droop with each set compare to stock, especially because all of them have different length in total.

@mikegta14 5 месяцев назад

This has been very helpful because i do a lot of the slow offroading. Roads are in the forest with creeks, big dips, rocks etc. I need something better that the current bilstein.

@accordv6er Год назад

Hooray! Didn't make a total mistake getting these used and rebuilding them lol. Fwiw, add Apache Offroad AX2s to budget setups? Dobis, Apache, Ironman, OEM variants (Tundra on Taco etc, Bilstein, Freedom OffRoad, Rough Country, used TRD Pro etc

@blackRockt Год назад

My Bilstein 5100s have a really tight jitter at speed on anything other than smooth pavement, but they handle decently, especially with tight cornering, they're competent in the sandhills, and my wife hates them so she stopped driving my truck all the time (she loved the stock Hitachi shocks for grocery runs..)

@adamtoepfer131 Год назад

My rock crawlers have had 5100s on them. When they said if all you are doing is crawling 3mph buy the cheapest shocks it's really so true.

So when you add preload to the front to raise say 2inch... i need to change the spring rate to balance the valving of stock tune? Do i go more or less ?

Only if you have added a lot of weight to the front. If not, stick with 600s

285/70r17 on method 0-offsets. They rubbed a lot. Plastic liner delete, pinch weld, and CMC required for this kind of activity.

@ryanskeete Год назад

I’m by no means an authority on the subject but after you install a new set of shocks shouldn’t you do a wheel alignment? Or is it only if you change the UCA? If so aren’t these results a little skewed? Just asking for a friend 😊

@OverlandOutfitters Год назад

Your alignment changes mostly because of lift. We didn't really change lift height between shocks, so the alignment stayed more or less the same. Also, you can get alignment pretty close just with a measuring tape and some patience. Close enough for a test like this
