    I just recently bought a used pair of TRD pro fox shocks to go on my sr5 crewmax. I’m having the fronts installed on Wednesday. I have heard the rear shocks are very soft and not the best for towing. Is this true? I also have a set of 5100 I never installed. Was thinking using those for the rear instead of the fox pro ones.
    What’s your recommendation as I do haul a lot of weight and tow often. I do have Firestone air bags on truck already

    The airbags will take of it and wouldn't worry about it. You are good to go.

    Awesome thanks. I really do want to go with the fox on the rear just want to make sure that’s the best choice.

    I had a TRD Pro '19 and hauled a 7k plus travel trailer with airbags and was awesome.

    I thought about getting the falcons but now that the tow/haul set is $1740, I'd pass and get something more in line with that price...…
