    6" Fabtech basic lift 35s
    Ok so I have a 2013 Tundra with a 6" Fabtech basic lift. I ended up in back ordering and installing a Ironman +3" spring pack to get rid of the 3" blocks which worked out perfect and rides much better. Now for the front to get rid of the factory coilovers with spacers I ordered the RC Vertex coilovers got them but then talked to a local shop which said they are crap and said they are for "street queens"....they suggested just using the Dirt Logic because they are meant for my lift but after reading that the dirt logic ride like crap (from what I have read they seem to ride very stiff on the street) and are just ok offroad. My next thought is Icon for almost the same price but again seems like they may ride a little stiff? And fox doesn't seem to make anything for a 6" lift, and king well I really don't like the blue and I know you can have them made in other colors but king is 5 months out. Anyone have any suggestions, thoughts on any other options, or your thoughts on how Icons would feel compaired to stock coilovers? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Mostly daily driver, some off roading on weekends nothing crazy desert woods trails need rock crawling. I am thinking about the Fox 7" lift shocks for r the BDS kit, with the adapter kit and dialing them down for a 6" lift. I spoke with fat bobs and they said it would work.

    I Guess go with the Fox's then. Fox is always a good option , would say if its mostly DD and some wheel'en just go with what you ordered they shouldn't be that bad... But I assume RC stands for Rough Country I've never cared for those on past trucks but then again I couldn't tell you the age of RC kit I had on my past truck.:rofl: if return on the RC and the difference isn't a issue on the Fox's I would just recommend going that route.
    :spending:;)
