How are you liking your Radflo 500R 2.0 struts / shocks (if you have them)???

First post as a new member...
Some background.....Just got a new TRD OR Premium ('26) for the wife. Ordered and have installed Peak 1.25" front level, TRD Accessory Wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler G3 275/70R18 tires, all installed by our dealer where we purchased the 4R. Wife now says it rides way worse than it did before. Tires were at 40 psi so I have adjusted that down to like 34 psi now and it got a little better. She is still not completely happy so now I am looking at options for better shocks to smooth out the ride. Also probably gonna take the psi down a bit more as well.

So, if you have the Radflo 500R's, did it make a big difference in the ride quality? My other option is maybe the OME MT64's but they are more expensive.
This is a daily driver for my wife and we live out in the country so while our roads are paved, they are pretty rough (small county roads).

Any advice would be appreciated. And yes, we know it is basically a truck but I just want the smoothest ride I can get.
Thanks,

I haven't tried their new 500R's on a 6th gen yet. I did run Radflos on my old GX470 and liked them a lot, but I personally like Fox better. They salt the roads pretty aggressively in Nebraska and the aluminum shock bodies Fox uses hold up better with our winters.

Yea I don't have to worry about salted roads here in Texas. I'm seriously considering getting the 500R's and have them tune and set them to 1" lift in the front struts and just remove the Peak 1.25" level I now have so I can still clear the 275/70R18's i have on the 4R now. Do you think I will be disappointed with the 500R's? Seems like it might be the best bet for a daily commuter that drives on rough country roads......

I"ve read so many threads on this forum I'm starting to go a little stir crazy with all the different information, LOL!

Just about anything is a big upgrade over stock shocks, so I think you'd be happy

Don't expect a huge difference over stock OR shocks with the MT64s. They're good on the highway but didn't help much on rough around town and rural roads.

Talk to Accutune for some Fox 2.5 or their Ride shocks. Get them with DSC's on the resevoirs so you can tweak the ride for what she likes
