    Picked up a 19 Pro front and rear suspension and decided to forgo the oem rear setup after talking to Fox and determining the oem rear design and functional limitations. My goal was to beef up the rear a notch. Decided on the Race series 883-26-006. This is not a piggyback reservoir as pictured throughout the web. The Resi is external. I am really impressed! Was able to smooth out the ride quality on my 2019 TRD Limited. The adjustability is nice to have and provides that off road control. More shock for my needs but I kinda live by this concept. Currently in the process of dialing in and experiencing each adjustment click. I wasn't able to find any real world experience on the net and decided to post. Highly recommend this upgrade.

    Actually I started on the tightest setting and tried going over a few speed bumps at 15-20 mph. Before the truck would bottom. I do however have air lift bags. After, the new shocks absorb the speed bump and the ride is controlled. Pretty remarkable. The 2.5" smooth body of these shocks are pretty substantial. No wallow at all around sweeping on or off ramps. Nice and planted feel.

    We can get you set up depending on your overall goal and Budget. You cant go wrong with kings or fox shocks. They will last you longer than you'll likely own the truck haha.
