    I’m looking at a very small lift. Thinking of going with the Falcon setup with a +1 Coachbuilder shackle in the back. I’ve heard good things about the ride but I’d like to hear about the longevity for those who have had theirs for a while. Other options are Icons or Eibach pros. I have experience with all 3 but on different vehicles. All were decent but were on my Sprinter Revel (falcons), Eibachs (4th Gen 4runner) and Icons (FJ). Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    @French Avocado and @Black are still rocking the Falcons, I think. I had them on mine, but no longer have the truck. I can't seem to find the thread we had on them, though.

    I am still running Falcons with Coachbuilder +1. Ride is smooth and the Falcons are holding up well - although I am only at 12,000 miles on my 2020.

    I am still rocking the Falcons with Coachbuilder +1s and absolutely love them!
    That being said I bought them years ago and I paid $1200 to my door for the adjustable tow haul set.

    Since then the price has gone up way up. I believe they are $1800+ tax now. Dobinson has also released their IMS series for the Tundras since I purchased.

    Falcon not using their own spring so needing to tear your old coilover apart or sourcing OEM take off springs and new top hats is a bit of an inconvenience.
    I used take off springs from some dude that had 2500 miles on his truck before swapping suspension and bought the KYB top hats from Rock Auto.
    Also was able to have the Springs powdercoated to match my truck. Which adds a very nice touch and cost me no down time.

    If I were to do it today because of price and better options I am pretty sure I would be going with Dobinson IMS.

    Of course you are getting to be at about the best time to buy as Black Friday deals are about to light up.

    You won’t be disappointed in the ride and capability of the Falcons.
    They absolutely blow Fox, Icon, Eibach, and Bilstein out of the water.
    For comparable models without resis there is no comparison. I have had and/or driven all the options at the price point.
