Falcon shocks are coming!

Lol I think 3 years actually

 

I got right at 2 1/4” I started at 37” and am now at 39 1/4”.
I used 3k mile TRD take off springs. I am guessing if I used my 80k limited springs I may not have gained as much.
I used the level setting.
TeraFlex used non TRD springs for their R&D.

And yes the warranty is a 3 year warranty.

I sent them an email this morning letting them know how happy I am with these shocks. Also asked if I could get a couple of the raised emblems they put on the rear shock reservoirs. I think they would look slick on my rear door replacing the Limited badge. But think the flat stickers they provide would look silly.

I also suggested they highly look into providing a fully built coilover as it appears that would be folks biggest reservation to buying these here on the forums and FB. I am
guessing it is likely the same across platforms.
The ease of install for the DIYer is greatly diminished having to assemble them oneself.
The Tundra springs are awfully stout and a wall compressor is pretty much a must for these springs.
I am very happy with them and had time to snag a set of springs off FB fortunately.
But had the Dobinson IMS been available in November when I ordered these I would have been hard pressed to get the Falcons simply because they don’t have the option to come assembled.
Though reading in the Dobinson thread it sounds like some folks are getting a lot more height than advertised. Which is problematic so while certainly don’t regret my purchase I can’t say it would have been the same.

 

Pretty dead on, right here. Honestly, if these were pre-assembled I would have ordered them a year ago. I don't have a garage, and I am no mechanic, so the lack of a full coil assembly is a huge barrier for me.

Hmm, it looks like there is some conflicting information.

EDIT: Nevermind, I read the wrong section. They are 3 years as posted by @John175.

 

Is there a difference in the OEM springs on the TRDs, Platinum, Sport and Pro models - and even DC or CrewMax? Seems like Toyota lists a number of different versions of the coils. I may be reconsidering my thought of using my platinum coil springs.

 

I can't spead for the PROs, so not counting those, all the others are shock tuning as I understand it. The Trucks above are all the same in the front end, to a large degree, so having the same springs up front would make sense. This is purely my brain's logic, so I could be wrong, but I think the springs are the same.

 

Has anyone approached TeraFlex about a group buy on Falcons? I may try calling them and seeing if we can put together a group buy that will tantalize Adam enough to buy with us.

 

Yes. The TRD springs are slightly stiffer than the non TRD models.
There is a difference as well between regular, double, and CrewMax.
Of course the TRD Pro springs are very much different since they utilize Bilstein or Fox setups dependent upon year.
When I spoke with TeraFlex about it they said they R&D’d with non TRD springs but likely one would never be able to tell a difference if one used TRD springs.
They ride great using TRD springs since that is what I have.

 

Anyone know what valving the falcons have? Linear, progressive, digressive? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.

Icon and 6112s have digressive and ride pretty rough on the road. Hoping to avoid that again with the new truck.

 

Technically none of the above.
It is Volume Optimized Dampening.

Uses numerous different things other shocks don’t do get the best all around ride.
Digressive liner valving, with progressive bump stops, and Zone Rate Tuning.

Ride on the road is far more comfortable than the Fox and Bilsteins I have had.

 

Kudos @Black - Now that is really sexy talk -
I read the words that seem to make sense and I have no idea what is says, except they work differently and the ride is better. "Digressive linear valving" really cinched it for me.

 

I paraphrased. You can read all the technical mumbo jumbo here.

I can just tell you that I am super impressed with how this truck rides now so whatever they did they did it right!

 

@Black I am impressed with your knowledge and understanding. You have me convinced. Because I am here in Utah and close to TeraFlex, I am going to see if we can do a group buy on the Tundra Falcon Sport Tow/Haul kit.

 

If they do a good deal I'll have to do it..... son of a bitch.

 

I’d be in for a set if there was a group buy.

 

TeraFlex will not do a direct group buy because they do not want to compete with their distributors.
HOWEVER, I am talking to a distributor that is very interested in doing this group buy and perhaps others. Stay tuned. (Adam start saving)

 

Okay friends - just out of curiosity how many would buy if we obtained a good deal on a group buy?

 

Most likely yes. Definitely without a doubt if they come pre-assembled tho.

 

Utah isn't a far drive, so if they are close enough I can save shipping and get a good deal... yeah, I'd have to do it. These are the suspension I want, so a deal would force my hand.

 

More news tomorrow - where are you in Wyoming?

 

That's privileged information.

When I said it's not far I just meant I have friends in SLC so visiting there happens anyway.

 

I have many ties to Wyoming and travel there often.

 

I’m about to pull the trigger on a set of Falcon tow/hauls based off of the reviews, so I’d definitely be in for a group buy. Greatly appreciate you looking into that I think there are a lot of people that would be interested.

 

I think there might be more response to a new thread with title being about a group buy. I know that lots looked at this thread, but don't necessarily come back to it.

 

If I get it set up then I will do a new thread to make sure we get the participation needed for the maximum discount.

 

Group buy is now live

We need five more

 

Sweet deal!

 

Anyone run these at stock height yet? I am very tempted by the group by.
