Pretty obvious the 2.5 king is going to perform better than a 2.0 fox... A better comparison would be between a 2.5 king and 2.5 fox Coilover set up.
Thank you for this comparison! Most people wanted to see 2.5 vs 2.5 but this is exactly what I wanted to see. The kings cost twice as much as the fox 2.0 and I wanted to see the live performance difference. Is 2x the price really 2x the performance.. especially with the two most reputable brands on the market. For a daily truck thats a weekend warrior the fox dont seem like a bad option at all.
thanks for the comparison, I personally use kings and love the setup. 200k miles of oilfield abuse and they have held up amazing !
Maybe the fox setup will be good for my wife's grocery getter
I have Fox 2.5 coilovers on my BDS kit and the ride is smooth off-road
Fox with 700 lbs springs looks like a much more practical setup. There is no significant difference in the way the beach bumps are absorbed (at least not visible from this video) but the wheel control over larger impacts is much better than the kings which look kind of under-dampened due to their digressive character. However, the 700lbs spring and more linear damping of the fox will provide much better on-road handling and that's where 90% of the miles will be driven. I'll have the fox setup. But I agree, it would be interesting to see the fox 2.5 as well!
They do know Fox makes a 2.5 as well. Why didn't they use that instead. Even though the Fox coilovers handled pretty good as well.
I was gonna say this looks like the pine barrens, then I saw the jersey plate haha. thanks for the vid, looking forward to modding my tundra once I pay it off
Im looking at a kit for my Rebel from Carli, and for the 1500s they offer Fox 2.0s on one kit, and King 2.5s on the other. This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks definitely looks like the extra money for the King kit is worth it.
King shocks are a great choice and well worth the upgrade.
Ordered my kit on March 6th. Week 5. Still waiting. Lol hopefully gets here soon
Derek please tell me you have received your by now. I ordered mine 3 and a half weeks ago. 2.5 pintop level kit. For 2021 ram 2500
I was told 4 to 6 weeks “hopefully”
@@TyThur111386 lol. No. Still just processing. But don't worry. I'm gonna be out of town for a week so with my luck it'll ship while I'm gone and I'll end up up trying to stop them from getting sent back
Looking for suspension setup for Fortuner with stock tyres. Needs in order of preference-
1. Comfort in all kinds of terrain
2. No thuds or sound in cabin
3. On road performance better than stock ones.
Any suggestions?
Hello should I just get the king 2.5s right away or are the 6112s worth it I want the smoothest ride
Did this fox 2.0 set up need extended bump stops in the front? Or a diff drop? Wasn’t sure if shocks would overcompress at factory bumpstop height.
Why fox 2.0 supposed to be fox 2.5 too like the dsc,in’t fair, king is 2.5 your right
Which one is smoother on road. I hate the stock, bouncy asf
Fox 2.5 DSC w/Remote Reservoirs > the rest
And those Kings in the video should have been set to firm, not SOFT.
Kings showed more travel.. does the set up have aftermarket uca
Yes SPC
I'm about to have a Icon Stage 9 installed. And I have a DV8 bumper I'm going to also install. Didn't realize Icon's spring rate is only 600.
Did your Timbren front bump stops prevent the weight of the bumper from losing height? Have to add spacers?
The grey Tundra in the video has Kings on it with 600lbs springs. With the weight of the DV8 bumper and winch isn't enough to affect the ride height for his desired lift of 2.5" We always recommend the Timbren off road bumpstops as they are a great addition for smoothing out the last few inches of travel when bottoming out but they will not affect the lift height of the vehicle. The HD Timbren bumpstops are more for snow plow setups. The Grey Tundra owner debated on 600lbs to 700lbs springs but is very happy with the 600lbs springs as the on road and off road ride is greatly improved.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel Thank you for the information. From the research I've done, and the vendors and shops I've spoken to, Kings may hold up better with the weight in front better than Icons. And the Timbrens you're speaking about is the Active Off Road ones? I was thinking of getting the SES that is used for snow plows to support the DV8 and winch. But will make a stiffer ride and go against the Icon performance. So still stuck on that.
@@rayrayk7458 The weight of the bumper and winch shouldn't determine any decision you may have to make because its not enough weight to make any difference. How high are you planning to lift? We have found that anything over 2.5" starts to stress parts and affects reliability. We have been off-roading Tundra's for 5 years.
I have a 2.5" spacer lift on now. But with the Icons I was hoping to get the 3". That's good to know about the added weight of the DV8 and winch will not affect the height. I'm guessing both will weight over 200 pounds in front.
@@rayrayk7458 Also keep in mind leveling the truck shifts weight to the back and adding weight to the bed of the truck also offsets the weight in the front of the truck.
You’ve had the Fox 2.0’s for awhile. I’m thinking about upgrading from my stock suspension to those. I don’t off-road much. Did you have to use a shim for the driver’s side lean? Still happy with the Fox 2.0’s Any reason I should go with the bilstein 6112?
The Fox 2.0 are a nice setup but wouldn't recommend them with e load tires as my experience is the ride is stiff with the 700lbs springs. If I had to do it over I would have used the Bilstein 6112. I didn't use the driver side shim and did have the drivers side lean. Also the Fox 2.0 and Bilstein preload can not be adjusted on the vehicle. I was looking at other manufacturers like Icon or Kings for a reasonable set that I could adjust on the truck if I wanted. Depending on your budget I would definitely use 2.5 inch shock body and the lowest spring rate possible. The Kings come with 600lbs springs.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel I appreciate the response. With the forums and different comments it’s hard to decipher what I really need without blowing out my budget. I was even thinking of the non resi Fox 2.5, I think you can adjust the preload on those shocks. But the price is $200 cheaper than a set of kings, and I think at that budget might as well save for the Kings.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel why do u say youd go sith bilstein ??? I am trying to figure out if i shoukd get fox kings or bilstein.as of now inhave bilstein 4600s they are great but just a tad stiff on slow speed bumps but great handling...i like the idea of being able to adjust them .i see the kings were set soft on the video but I wouldnt like all the noise that comes with it .have you guys tried setring the kings to medium ish ?if so is there still a bunch of noise ??? Really curious why youd go with bilstein over either of these two ...ive been looking into the 8112 but some people have clunking and I gurss bilstein says its normal so I might stay away from the 8112 but go with the 6112 if I do go with bilstein...sucks not to have adjusters tho so....not sure what to go with
@@4x4OffRoadChannel is the noise coming from the kings or the foxs. I cant tell
And what is better for your opinion?
Fox 2.0 or King 2.5? Worth kings?
The Fox 2.0 are a budget friendly suspension which are slightly stiffer (my opinion) than the stock suspension. At first I had E load tires and then dropped down to C load tires for a much smoother ride. If budget allows the Kings 2.5 are an excellent value with adjustments from soft to firm on ride. The fox 2.0 comes with 700lbs springs and the Kings come with 600lbs springs.
Cool video
Which setup is easy to work with ? And last longer ?
Fox uses better seals, shock oil and shafts compared to Kings. Fox shafts are more durable which will prolong the life of the shock. But the King shock and reservoir are pretty looking
Did you have to do any body chop to fit the 315/70 tires?
Yes some trimming of the front bumper and a body mount chop was required.
So which one soaks up the dirt road best?
Definitely the Kings. With a softer spring and larger diameter shock the kings are smoother
4x4 Off-Road Channel nice thank you!
4x4 Off-Road Channel what shocks are best you think for generic dirt roads in Arizona for 30-40 mph in a 2020 Ford Ranger. Nothing crazy
Can I still tow with these aftermarket coilovers or are they too soft?
Yes you could tow with either of the coilovers. The Fox 2.0 come with 700lbs springs and are more firm than the factory setup. The Kings have 600lbs springs which offer a smoother ride and the shocks have an option to adjust from soft to firm.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel awesome 👌. Thanks for answering my question. Btw is the kings and fox more of a high speed coilover setup (baja style), compared to icon coilovers (more for rugged going over rocks and through mud and rougher terrains)? Sorry I'm a bit confused.
@@ClearWater7.62 icons are digressive so they’re actually a bit more designed for high speed than Kings. Low speed stuff can actually be a bit jarring on Icons.
where are the bumps?
I prefer King’s
What type of rim n tire size u got
ICON REBOUND 17" WHEELS 25MM OFFSET
BFGOODRICH KO2 315/70R17 LOAD RANGE C 35s TIRES
I can’t go over 6mph over the washboard at the beach, tops out and bottoms out.
Stock suspension?
@@4x4OffRoadChannel yes indeed, on the front it dives just touching the brake. It is embarrassing. I have a 2017 Tacoma off road and ordered fox 2.5 dsc for the back. Will be getting JBA UCA’s with Fox 2.5 in the front when I can. I paid it off early and can get something decent.
Bed moved around less with the kings.
