    Hey ya'll upgrading my suspension soon and through my research I am almost settled on pulling the trigger on Locked Off Road's coilovers instead of King/Fox. Is anybody running these or have any experience with them that can provide feedback on them? I have linked the shocks.

    Yeah they are relatively new to the game for shocks. The shocks look really comparable and it's a great price point, but for some reason this is making me hesitant...

    Never heard of these guys either. I like that it seems to be a family owned company, but I think I would prefer the support of a more well known outfit when spending that kind of money on components.

    I've seen a guy that recently put them on his bronco a few months back. Days after install took it to some high speed trails. It did great. Handled everything he threw at it doing around 50mph. Pretty much like those icon videos they post of their trucks in the desert.

    I know nothing else about them. But it seems the product does what they say it does.

    I run their bumps in the rear for the past 2 years, no problems at all.
    Get the set for the front today.
    I would run their shocks if they made em 2 years ago...

    This gives me hope and confidence about them, and I hope more comes out about them in the next few months :D

    That's how I initially found them, I know their bumpstops are well known

    These are not just a simple bolt on option, but a generic length shock that may need custom fab to fit. I've heard decent things about them.

    Have dealt with bumpstops and they were good, shocks look like sort of fox style internals and a large reservoir with an adjuster on all shocks.

    This!

    You will need to have a lot of things changed or added on to make them work for your Tacoma along with the valving as well!

    Call them and price that all out to see if it is worth it at the end!
