How many miles on your fox shocks

New pro owner here, love it. Just curious how many miles are you guys seeing out of your fox shocks before replacing them?

 

Good question Sam. I'm also digging the suspension on the '20 Pro. I'm hoping the shocks will go 100,000 miles, but obviously will depend on many factors. How much we haul and tow, and how aggressively we drive off road, the conditions we drive in, etc. Plus, mechanical stuff breaks sooner or later.

My previous Tundra Off Road came with the factory Bilstein's and then I converted to Bilstein 6112/5100 combo. The ride became a bit more stiff. But, neither configuration rode as well as the Pro. I'm really enjoying it. I'm taking it onto the playa in the Alvord Desert this weekend.

 

2020 PRO owner here...I’m not quite as optimistic...hoping for a strong 50k...then move to a high quality suspension like ICON.

 

This should get interesting

 

For what toyota charges for those shocks, I would hope you guys get at least 100k out of them.

 

I got 100k+ on my factory Bilsteins on a Gen1 tundra. One of them started to leak so replaced the set. Hoping for the same out of the Fox set up. Admittedly, I drive like a Grandpa.... come to think of it, I am a Grandpa. WTF?

 

Can you not rebuild them? Are they not normal Fox's?

 

I've read somewhere here where one of the members reached out to Fox on this subject and was told by them that these can be rebuilt.

 

Oh, so just Pro owner things of buying the fanciest package and just throwing away the options they spent money on? That's good

 

Craigslist opportunities I guess.

 

Not sure, but they look to be a special build for Toyota TRD. Looking at the Fox website, I don't see any offerings there that look to be the same.

I found this video about the front and rear suspension on the '19-'21 Pro's. Doesn't address this question, but informative about the design.

Here's the post I was referencing:

From the reading I've done here on the forum, it sounds like the Icon's are a nice setup for real offroad at moderate to high speeds, but they ride stiff at low speed and on pavement.

Still a lot to learn for me, before I upgrade my stock 1794 suspension

 

I've got 75k on my '19 and the suspension still feels great. No leaks or excessive bounce. I work in pipe line construction so she sees her fair share of off road abuse and towing

 

If there is one thing that I've learned about Toyota is that they don't typically choose weak parts. There is a reason that our trucks are dinosaurs....they are reliable and Toyota is slow to change things. This can be good and bad. That said, I'd be surprised if the service interval on the Pro shocks is anything less than a normal shock. Imagine the public outrage if all the most expensive model of their most expensive truck had a suspension that only lasted 3-5 years when the others are going 6-10 years depending on mileage per year.

It just doesn't make sense that anyone would find these as "inferior" in any capacity.

I mean no disrespect, but 2 things in this statement leave me scratching my heads. First, only hoping for 50k? How many miles do you have now, and have you noticed significant deterioration since day 1? Also, what is your typical use (i.e. live near/in the desert vs. live where salt is used in the winter)?

Second. "high quality like ICON." ICON used to be high quality, but has gone down hill in recent years. Too many failures (at least on Tacomas and 4Runners) for me to be comfortable spending that kind of money on them. Personally, I'd look more at Kings for similar cost. I have the Toytec BOSS 2.0 w/ heavy springs on my Tacoma, FWIW.
