Anyone running Fox 2.0's?

My truck is at the 112k mile mark and its time for new shocks. I'm debating with just buying another set of Bilstein 4600's or possibly upgrading to Fox 2.0's. I'm not interested in the 6112's as I'm not looking to lift the front end up and lowest setting is +.75".

 

I was in a similar dilemma few months back, ended up going with 2.5s up front 2.0 in rear. The tundra is a big heavy truck and bigger piston will do better dampening. Hence why the 6112 is so popular. It’s bit stiffer than stock but high speed dampening is a lot better over bumps and stuff.
I personally set mine to about 1.5” lift which still gave me a 1” rear rake that I needed since I regularly load stuff for work, and didn’t wunna be nose high.

now I found the price between the 2.0 and 2.5 upfront for me at the time to be about 200$, so depends on what you can find. I will say unless you really have your mind made up, I think couple hundred is worth it since the shocks will work less, possibly last longer and dampen better.

 

Thanks for all the pictures, you set up is sharp!

Where did you get your 2.5's, the price difference between 2.0's and 2.5s that I'm seeing is over $500. The 2.5's definitely make more sense for the truck size but I don't do any high speed off roading and not sure that its worth that much additional cost in my particular situation.

On a side not, what brake kit are you running. I'm in need of new rotors and thinking about moving away from OEM.

 

I got the stop tech front axle pack, that’s pads and rotors was about 350 just front.

rears I changed out just pads cause there’s a front brake bias and wasn’t that much wear on them.
They put out a bit of brake dust but perform a lot better than stock.

If you can’t find a decent deal on the 2.5’s I think 2.0’s should be good, bilstien 5100’s are also pretty popular as well as ome. Keep in mind fox shocks are recommended to be serviced every 30-50k miles depending on use.

 

Go with new bilsteins if you think the 2.5 is too much for your application

 

I had about 81k miles around that time of service. I dropped a couple grand on a bunch of stuff that way I wouldn’t have to worry about it for a while.

front shocks were seeping and uca ball joints was out. I also warped the brakes on a long road trip in this record braking summer. So I did UCA front and rear suspension and brakes.

 

If you’re not looking for lift, I don’t think coilovers are going to give you much benefit. Sounds like you just want a normal rig. It is too bad that there aren’t more big body options for stock height

 

You are correct on me just running a stock rig. I do however like upgrades when oem parts wear out. I'll likely go with the 4600's but was curious if anyone had the 2.0's.

 

You could always look around and order a shock/spring combo that suits you better in that case. Bilstien has a variety of different load springs that go on their 5x series. For rears I’ve seen people say either fox 2.0/bilstien 5100/5160 for an upgrade. A lot of people noticed reduced rear road hop from the rear axle that’s present on the oem shocks, my self included with the rear 2.0’s.

 

My pavement pimp has fox 2.0’s. They work for me. I have had them for over 40k miles.

 

I’ve got about 800 miles on my 2.0’s. Love them. Way better ride than the 4600’s. I’ve even set them at 2” for a level look. On my DC there seems to be just a tiny bit of rake which I think is due to the illusion of more wheel well in the rear. It doesn’t look nose high, which I prefer.

 

I have a 2007 double cab 4x4 tundra that needed new shocks about a year ago. I put on the Fox 2.0 all around and leveled it. I really like these shocks for highway to light off-road and I definitely recommend them. I don’t need to slow down for speed bumps anymore (never did before but now it is smoother). They are aluminum so will not rust out up here in the northeast. Let us know what you chose.

 

I wouldn't get Fox 2.0s regardless, but even less if I didn't want a lift.

If you'd like to try something different, look at Rancho 9000. They have adjustable damping (good for dialing in your ride) and great reviews.

Eibach Pro Truck Sport is another option. They have linear valving vs Bilstein's digressive, so should ride smoother on the road.

 

Have you considered the eibach setup? I've been hearing nothing but good things about them. They are adjustable as well.

 

I'll check out eibach. Was previously unaware of them.

 

Fox 2.0s are blah.
Eibach 2.0s are nice and likely the only 2.0 I would run on these trucks. Honestly I was very surprised at how well they ride for the cost.
Though I can’t suggest the Falcon setup enough though. They are a bit spendy now with the recent price increase. But they are hands down the best riding option available for a truck that spends most of its life on the road but is fully capable of some moderate off-roading.
Not getting into big money full resi setups
