    Sounds like a good setup to me. A winch bumper with winch does require a HD spring setup.

    I have kings front and rear with out of the box settings, really plush on the street and smooth off road on high speed desert runs I've been on. Money well spent and they're rebuildable which is a plus, i took off the front sway bar also

    I've only driven the BOSS 2.0 and they are great on road. I'm thinking (when the money is back to normal) I'm either going the RADFLO route or a little beefier with ADS 3.0.

    Reason: I'm doing more off road than i originally thought.

    No go better than 5100s especially if you have good front Coilovers. Boss with resi is what I have right now. Waiting to see if Toytec goes with the 2.5s with resi for the Tundra. They just released them for Tacoma

    Trying not to lift the rear, I don't think they will work?

    Are they talking about it? I would do that if they decide to.

    What's the benefit that you've found after driving with your Total Chaos arms for a while?

    Right. If you don't lift the rear, they won't work.
    Not sure what rear shock would work best with no lift though.
    But I would definitely upgrade the rears as you upgrade the coilovers.

    Not sure. Haven't asked. Tacoma stuff always comes first.

    Really can't say what the TCs added. I went from Toytec Ultimate that uses Bilstein 5100s with stock UCAs to the Boss 2.0 with TC UCAs. Huge difference in ride quality between the two. Much more fluid movements. More travel. Very much enjoying my suspension now with the 2.5s

    I'm not entirely versed with the bilsteins, but you can't go wrong with them if you're staying stock in the rear.

    How do you guys define "better"?

    I'm pretty happy with the factory ride (TRD/Bilstein 4600's) but I know some people think its too soft and not "truck" like enough? That's fine, to each their own but I personally don't want a harsher "truck" ride.

    So that's why I'm trying to understand when you guys say the ride is better, in what way is it better? Thanks

    I was one of the first to run the 6112s when they came out. Had them installed on my 2007. They were night & day improvements in plush ride quality over the stock shocks/coils.

    In comparison to the TRDPro shocks the 6112's are about 50% as good of ride quality.

    In my experience . . . and you're looking for road ride quality . . . always Bilstein . . .but why not the 5100s . . . I tend to think of them as more road-worthy than the 6112s (more off road ready).

    Stock black shocks lol. I have CB+3 so I needed a longer shock. I still have the stock black shocks up front...
    Haven't really driven it yet so can't comment on the difference. The 10 miles I did drive I couldn't really tell a difference.

    For daily regular driving, I didn't notice anything. What I did notice is the hard hits off-road are a lot smoother. Normally I would cringe before impact, with the arms on, I wouldn't have to cringe as hard.

    I'm curious if I can run the Boss's without a lift in the rear. I'm not keen to raise the rear, i like how i have it set up now with the 6112's at the highest and 5160's on the back.
