What kind of content do I want to see? This... where you install something, but not only show us how, but why you made the choice. I think the "why" is just as important as the "how to". Let's us other 3rd gen Tacoma owners decide if this is something we want/need or not. Makes great content IMHO.

although i am late, you buy 12v servos and buttons on the dash and wire them then hooking them up to the adjustment knob, then your taco will have raptor style shocks

Just to add, every single vehicle I've ever owned has leaned more on the driver's side, all vehicles do this because assuming the springs are the same tension, the heavier side will just lean more. That's one of the reasons why coil-over shocks were created, originally for the racing world, so you can adjust each corner to the exact height.

Ugh I’m super jealous of your elite set up. I was laughing when watching you install the rear shocks as in relieve they fought you just as much as they did me! I did the same trick, lots of lube and careful taps to not mark up the beautiful shocks. I originally was going to go with bilsteins but they were on back order so spent the extra paper to get the Fox 2.0 shocks. I love them, didn’t get the coil over set up due to the fact I already had OME 888 springs but I got to say it’s impressive how well this truck rides on all conditions. Maybe in a few years I’ll make the upgrade but right now it’s perfect for me, after all I don’t even have 10k miles on my truck yet. 😁

The 3rd Gen will only get you 2" of front lift, the 2nd Gen will get you 3" The elite's come with a 14" spring the older style comes with a 13" spring. Keeping 2-3" of downtravel in the shocks is really important. More lift = less downtravel. Get the extended version and upgrade your UCA as well.

Chloe I may have missed something but you mentioned around the 2:10 point in the video that these shocks can be adjusted on the fly. Yet I don’t see how it’s possible without stopping and getting out. I was expecting something like the Bilsteins on the Ram TRX. These shocks are electronically controlled, with solenoid-controlled variable rebound and compression bypass circuits.

You are correct on the definition of “adjust on the fly” but I think she just meant you don’t have to remove parts or need special tools. My MTB with Fox shocks has the same features, takes only seconds to adjust but I don’t do it while riding.

Nice, I got these for my Gladiator and I love their performance. I waited a few months before I messed around with adjusting the shocks because it takes a while for them to settle. Edit: At first I thought they were too stiff (on the road)even on the softest settings but they will soften over time so your daily driving will be great too.

The low speed compression settings make a noticeable difference in body roll. Its harder to tell with the HSC unless you're hitting the terrain hard consistently, and vary your vehicle's loadout considerably from outting to outting

As long as it has a certificate showing that it has been properly calibrated, that’s all that matters. I personally have Snap-on digital torque wrenches that I have calibrated once in a while to maintain proper torque measurement. But they’re not $30 like the part stores sell. Their $500+ but I use them mostly for engine repairs / rebuilds.

Regarding that bolt by the skid plate. You might invest in some crows feet and then do the math for how much you reduce the torque OR keep the parts aligned at 90 degrees (no change in leverage) and you don’t need to offset adjust anything for torque.

Accutune does a great breakdown/teardown of the difference between the shocks, In Chloe's case (using internal bypass fronts and 2.0 rears from them looks) it's an upgrade, but it seems for most guys with 2.5 DSC's it's not worth it, especially if you've already had the front springs replaced and revalved(like my setup).

High speed/low speed doesn’t refer to the speed of the vehicle. It refers to the speed of the piston. You can drive 100mph and the piston barely moves or you can drive 20mph on super rough roads and the piston moves up and down a lot and fast.

@joeyrainbolt0622
@joeyrainbolt0622 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Joseph. I’m actually an engineer at Fox (although granted I’m on OEM production side of things) and wanted to answer your question and give a little bit of shock insight. Adjusting the pre-load on the spring (especially the very little amount that these shocks are set up with) has next to zero affect in the shock’s performance. The spring has a constant spring rate (I.e. 500 lbs/in) that doesn’t change with how much pre-load is put into it. The downside of pre-load is that if there is too much, you can get what is called spring bind which is when the coils start hitting each other at full compression. But with how little these springs are adjusted, you’ll never have to worry about that. Also, adding a spacer above the shock is by far the worst way to gain height or the account for lean since it messes with the motion ratios that the suspension is designed to have. Basically, by adding a spacer above the coilovers it causes the shock to bottom out before the suspension wants to, and the suspension tops out before the shock wants to.
