    Hi guys,

    I use my truck for light off-road and thinking about upgrading the suspension. I'd like to go with the 6112/5160 3/1 set to slightly lift the truck and better ride. But it seems like they are back-ordered forever... Can anyone suggest any other affordable options.

    Thanks

    Toytec 2.0-2.5 aluma serie in your budget? If so, be glad you did. The ride is perfect....

    I'm in the same boat. I really like Toytec Aluma, but I keep bouncing between them and Dobinsons and Ironman 4X4.

    I went Falcon as well for availability. I called Falcon last week and they told me lead time was 8-10 weeks. I emailed Shock surplus and they had 4 sets in stock as of last Wednesday. I ordered them Wednesday night and they showed up at my door today. Getting them installed next week.

    I ordered the Falcons back in November and they arrived Friday.
    Now we are coated in Ice for the foreseeable future. So hope to at least get my fronts assembled this week so if I get a break in the weather a day I am off work I can get them on.

    I've heard great things about Ironman 4x4 and Toytec Aluma. No personal experience with either though. Not sure if either fit your budget, but throwing out a couple of suggestions..

    Ditch the remote resi on the rear. Unless you are running off road at higher speeds or washboard roads you don't need them. I had them on a Tacoma. They came with a factory package. They were nice running ranch roads at speeds I should not have been running. I just wanted to show the guys with UTVs that I could out run them.

    You won't be disappointed, they are a little bouncy first 50 miles or so, but man when they settle in you'll love the confidence the provide. You'll enjoy flying over crap full speed.
