I have a thread on my suspension swap if you want all the details and background. I have Fox Performance Elite front coilovers that came with 350 lb/inch springs and I have Fox Performance 2.5 rear shocks and Icon Progressive rear springs. Very happy with the ride. Edit - So besides these...

Bilstein knows how to make shocks, but the red ones that came off my OR are not worth the paint they are covered with. I wouldn't sell them to a fellow 6th gen owner in good conscience . They rode horrible for an off road truck. There are plenty of threads here of how people improved there 6th...

I have a '25 OR hybrid. There were several strange things it did early on that made the driving experience unpleasant. Jerkiness with low throttle acceleration. Big clunky gear changes with heavy acceleration and even jerkiness when coming off throttle and applying the brakes. It was near...

The Fox 2.5 Elites have 16" free-length, 350 lb/in springs that are installed at about 13". That is over 1,000 pounds of preload pushing on the spring perch. You definitely need a spring compressor to remove that preload and adjust the upper spring perch position. The lift would have been 3"...

An update after several hundred miles on this setup. I now have both the low and high speed compression at 4 on the fronts. That seems to be the best compromise. I still just have the non-adjustable Fox 2.5's on the rear, and frankly, I don't see the need to switch the the Elites in the rear...

Only as much as the Fox 2.5 valving is better than OEM. So, you'll be able to tell there are better shocks in the rear, but they don't solve the bounciness by themselves. It is a matter of proper valving to control the movement of the spring. The OME kit comes with rear lift springs correct? I...

Like many others on this forum with various trims, I was disappointed with the harsh, jittery ride of my OR Hybrid. It started with lowering the tire pressure to 34 psi (it was delivered with them at 45 psi). Then I put on Fox 2.5 Performance shocks on the rear, which calmed down the rear axle...

This may be a dumb question, but did you get it aligned afterwards? The toe would definitely change with that much lift and messed up toe can make bumps very harsh. Total toe should be zero, or very, very close to it.

They don't have a tune yet for the Fox externally adjustable 2.5's on the 6G. I know because that's where I just got mine and they said they haven't had a 6th Gen in their shop yet. They just offer the Fox off-the-shelf tune and springs for now. I asked about softer springs and they made it...

I really don't want that much lift and I'm really set on fully adjustable coilovers. The OME's have no external adjustment. The King external adjustment is really only a simple mid-speed adjustment, while the Fox DSC is a true Low and High speed compression adjustment. I can also adjust the...

Well, that s**ks. I have the Fox 2.5 shocks in the rear and I was trying to decide what to do in the front. The more I drive this rig (25 Hybrid OR), the more I think the solution is going to have to be rather extreme. Softer springs in the rear, no more than 600 lb/in springs in the front and...

You will definitely notice a change with just getting rid of the rear OEM Bilstein shocks, but it won't solve the whole problem. From the factory , the 6th Gen Off Road has the worst possible ride - it is overdamped AND oversprung. By that I mean the springs are far too stiff and the fast...

I repeat. I'm not suggesting anybody use 93 octane in any SUV. The test idea was directed to the one person who says octane doesn't make a difference.

I'm not saying anybody should run 93 octane in their 4Runner. It was merely a suggestion to anyone who doubts the performance difference between low and high octane fuel in a modern turbocharged engine.

Which is exactly what every turbocharged engine made the last 15 years is - a high performance engine. They all have knock sensors, learning capabilities and intelligence to run on multiple octanes. So much so, that sanctioning bodies for auto racing that use STOCK turbo engines dictate the...

I know about a bridge in Jersey that I could sell you at a really good price. It's a great deal, trust me. But I couldn't, in good conscience, sell my 6G Red Bilsteins to anybody.

I agree. I really didn't want to resort to an aftermarket suspension just to make my already expensive truck have a decent ride on certain roads. The Fox 2.5 rear shocks were $347 each and I installed them myself. They have OEM-style isolation at the mounting points and a boot to protect the...

That is basically how I would describe the handling of the red Bilsteins on my ORH. On smooth highways and streets, it is very comfortable. Very Toyota-like. Nothing bad to say at all. Likewise, on slow off road trails I feel isolated from the bumps. It is when there are constant bumps that are...

25 OR Hybrid here. Generally speaking, on smooth, flat roads, the ride is fine. Very solid and Toyota-like. There are some roads however, say, an asphalt road that is broken up or a concrete highway with expansion strips when that is definitely not the case. When I had my 5G OR, I didn't notice...

I tow a Sol Horizon with my 2025 Off Road Hybrid. Got the 6G specifically for towing the camper because as much as I loved it, my 5G Off Road was a wheezer when it came to towing. The weight of the Horizon is very close to your Eclipse and my 2025 tows it effortlessly. I know I have the hybrid...
