WTB RADFLO Coilovers

[Skidder]

Looking to pick up a set of the RADFLOW Coilovers.

[ErikSS]

Are you looking for new or used Radflo?

[Skidder]

Either.

[ErikSS]

The new ones come through Wheelers Offroad. I cant find them on the website so I would call them.(541) 474-2879

[Skidder]

Yep. I called them about the time I posted today. They said the demand was not what they'd hoped, so they are not supplying them anymore.

RADFLO is still able to produce them, but they don't stock them. Approx 3 weeks from order to completion.

It has always been that way, just place your order. There a custom item and worth the wait.

[Skidder]

Anyone purchased these lately?

I ordered a set in April and it was about 4-5 weeks. I can't compare to the other setups but I am very impressed with the ride. Would order again in a heart beat. I haven't seen slow rough off-road but trails at hi speed excels. Price hurts but once I calculated the pucks and struts really not too bad.

It really is impressive how much they improve the ride.

I bought my second set in may, took about 3-4 weeks. Sold my first set thinking I wasn't going to use them, sillly me.

Sitting in the trunk of your subaru doesn't count as using them.

[Skidder]

Still looking for the email from Radflo regarding current cost. What was the damage when you all bought yours?

[moose1]

$1069 + shipping ouch

I wish I had radflo's on the TB, as far as demand not being what they hoped hoped-for all I can say is what do you expect. This isn't exactly Land Rovers where you already know you'll need deep pockets, they are worth every penny for the job they do, but if you don't mind how the stock system rides you can rebuild it 5-6 times for the cost of one set of radflo's. You will have to keep your truck 20+ years for the radflo's to realistically pay for themselves, they are a luxury item.

Eh... $200 for the lift kit + $140 for Bilstein HD struts + $110 for 87/88 springs makes $450 if you haven't lifted yet. Being the first set, I got mine for just shy of $900 shipped. Double the money, but frankly, they are worlds better, and even safer on the street. Even the Bilstein HD aren't valved for the extra weight and leverage of bigger tires on spacers (though I'm interested to hear impressions on the Rancho struts), and even with the 87 springs, the thing would bounce and slide over on mid-corner bumps. That completely went away with the Radflos, not to mention that they're much better off road. Worlds better on fast gravel roads!

It's really like the difference between Ohlins vs. stock on my bike. Suspension is one of those things where a person's impression of "good" suspension is based on the best suspension they've personally rode/driven. It's one of those things where you don't know what you don't know. I'd definitely do it again, if that says anything!

$1069 + shipping. They are also rebuildable, so if something goes wrong or you wear them out you'd only have to pay a few Hundos to have a fresh set

[ErikSS]

I dont think of them as Luxury, I think of them as performance. I tend to agree with Mike's math. I would have to keep my truck 100 years to justify the cost... yet I keep thinking about, whats next?

[TBYODA]

...yet I keep thinking about, whats next?

42" tires... Custom 4 link...   4 wheel steering....  Rockwells ..... Exo cage .....

Why hasn't one of us taken a generic rod ended shock, made an adapter for the yoke and welded a shock tab on a round plate that bolts into the stock location? You could probably do it for 2/3rds the cost of the radflos. May not be quite as good, but should be worlds better than our current options.

Not everyone has a Bridgeport mill and metal lathe in there shop.
