    My 6112's are getting a little tired at now just under 115,000 miles on them. Naturally this video pops up...

    Falcon caught my eye as I've not had a lick of experience with them. I've ran Bilstein, Icon, Dobinsons. If you know me I can't sit still for long so I wanted to try these out.

    I reached out to Teraflex, owners of Falcon and they said their suspensions don't fit my Pro (but fit all other 5th gens) due to UCA's and wheel backspace, which I found very odd. I've seen the wheel backspace disclaimer but never the UCA.

    Anyone have any insight? I am still running stock UCA's (which have been aligned and running fine for years at only 2" of lift). Wouldn't be opposed to new UCA's but Falcon's customer support straight up said it doesn't work, and couldn't provide any technical explanation.

    2” lift Bilstein 6112 w/600 lb coils front, 1.5” lift Eibach T13 coils rear, Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, TRD skidplate, TRD stainless catback w/black TRD side exhaust, TRD shifter handle, Weathertech bug deflector, 20% tint front, LED door bulbs, 285/70/17 Falken WP AT3, Energy Suspension front bumpstops, SSO Slimline Bumper w/ Badland Shackles, Durobumps 4.25” rear
    stick with Bilsteins as you had zero failures over 115000 miles.

    That's what a smart, sensible man would do. I refuse to be described this way haha

    My 4Runner hasn't been my daily in years so I don't mind experimenting. Probably won't be with the Falcons though since their customer service can't provide me with any technical info. Maybe I'll give those new Ironmans a shot.
