    Not a complaint. I got 125k out of them, but the PS side front is now leaking enough to replace the whole setup. I am considering the 8112/8100 or the Fox 2.0. Leaning towards the Bilstein as I got a lot of good use out of the 5160/5112 off-road, towing, and on the pavement. Any good deals coming up for Labor Day? Any recommendations as to why I should consider Fox a little more seriously? I’ve read the forums ad nauseam - icons & EMU aren’t on my radar and King is more than I need. I have considered the 5160’s again, but my Tundra is going to be with me for the rest of its life (currently at 225k) and figured an upgrade is due. Any input or links to vendor sales appreciated

    @memario1214 can help you out with vendor and potential sales, he works at Hotshot Offroad

    would recommend the 8112s over the 2.0 Fox as it’s a bigger and better shock

    Thanks for the tag! :fistbump:

    @Mattyc I am not anticipating any "formal" sales on the 8112/8100 setup. That said, we always do our best to help out forum folks! Shoot me a PM with what all you're after, and we can come up with a number! I'm sure you know this, but you'll need some supporting gear like UCAs to make those bad boys work, and potentially longer brake lines if you get the bypass flavor of 8100. We can make sure that you don't miss anything on the quest!
