    Wouldn't think our shocks are long enough to benefit from a double flutter. Same as dual rate springs as those are kinda a waste on such a short shock. I also don't see the need on a bypass as it seems it would make it very difficult to tune.

    I don’t see an explanation for what a double flutter stack actually is, other than ‘better because it’s more tunable’.

    Do they stack wide-narrow-wide-narrow-remainder of stack? Or is it wide-wide-narrow-narrow-remainder that makes a double flutter?

    I am in a similar boat. I don't get out as often as I would like (just had a baby, they do that to you lol) But when we do it's bumpy/ river bed rocks, pot hole mountain single track, or some sand (we do trips to Moab and Cali to do some fun offroading. No major rock climbing or gnarly stuff. We also mountain bike so we head out to do that.) Will have 34" tires and looking for 2-2.5" lift.

    Im assuming you would suggest something similar?

    My other question is, if you were looking to save some money would you ever do Resi's in front but not back (or vice versa.) Or, 2.5s up front and 2.0's in back but with resi's? Or some combination of that or is that a waste of time?
    If I did one first, should I get the front done first or better to just wait and do it all at once?

    Sorry for all the questions just want to do it right the first time.


    Thanks for your input. I had the 2.0 fox set up on my tacoma (resi's in back) and enjoyed it (though I have only had that and the stock set up so not a lot of reference).

    Considering Fox's again or maybe the Elka's

    Do it all at at once. Here's a recent thread on Elkas by a casual guy:
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/i-did-the-thing-elka.43315/

    And here's a thread by one of our expert/ mods reviewing Elkas:

    By many accounts, you can get good advice regarding "affordable" lift options by contacting @Toytec Lifts.
