Not a great experience with Bilsteinlifts.com

Not sure if anyone else has had a questionable experience with Bilstei lifts.com...I contacted them to see if they would price match on an Eibach pro truck lift. They emailed me back and said yes but that item was out of stock. Checked the website (4 in stock) and texted them and they said they have one in stock but won’t price match.

Price match, don’t price match, I don’t care, but be consistent and if you say you will in writing, stand by it.

 

Well asked them a question once a few months back to get info and their answer was very vague... I found the answer somewhere else.

 

one word for you - "Ironman Foam Cell Pro". You're welcome.

 

Those sound great but the $$$

 

They are great. Really great. I love mine.

 

I'd recommend waiting a bit longer if that is what it took to save up for them. It is a great value, and considering how big of a purchase it is - definitely don't want to have any re-dos. They don't require any servicing, rebuilds, UCA uses stock components for squeak free performance and those are some heavy duty shocks and springs. But, on top of that all - their customer service is second to none!

 

Have you written a review on these? Know anyone that has that you can point me to. These ironmab foam cell shocks seem interesting. Im ok with firmer, not harsher. A firm ride can be comfortable if the shocks do a good job damping things out.

 

Ok. I’m definitely going to consider these. Do you think these are still worth the investment if they’re on my daily driver that does 90-95% on road and 5-10% off road?

 

I also run the Ironman Foam Cell Pros and I'd say they are less harsh than Bilstein, more firm than stock, but when you hit a bump or come off one, I'm really impressed by how smooth it is.

 

that's pretty much how I use mine, too. (Except, that my 4runner spends a lot of time in the garage while I use my "beater" commuter. I keep the 4runner shiny and polished - inside and out - and mostly it stays in the garage - except when I am off-roading... and I don't mind beating up on it... but then I spend time to make it pristine again.... Sometimes I wonder. - makes no sense lol)
Anyway, ride is definitely firmer - though not harsh. I am also riding on BFG KO2s in 285 size (c load) - your tire choice will have an effect on your ride quality, too. Nose dive is gone, and car feels very planted when cornering. I've had to do a couple of high speed maneuvers (swerve) and was grateful not to have the excessive body roll that was present in the stock form. And then off-road, I have absolutely zero complaints. Springs are perfect for what I need, and those shocks are beefy!!! I've done mainly trail riding but never felt the suspension get tired, squeak or creak.

If you do decide to purchase them, put them side by side with the stock components and you'll see just how much more substantial FCP is. Fit and finish is on point, and everything seems to be of really high quality.
