Coilovers/Shocks With or Without Reservoirs?

[406Taco]

I am finally looking to upgrade from the stock TRD OR suspension. I know I don't want just pre-load collars or lift springs. The truck is the daily with occasional off-roading weekends (some easy, some moderately difficult). I have never had a suspension setup with remote reservoirs, don't know a ton about them, so don't really know if I need to spend the extra cash for them. I am not doing any high speed off-roading. I also don't know if I want to deal with rebuilding them every few years. A lot of the folks in my off-road club run Kings, but they are also dedicated trail rigs running 37"+ tires.

I am currently looking at the Dirt King Trail Runner Kit with their 1" rear springs and the Peak 2.0 Explorer Kit with Dirt King UCAs. I know these are both 2.0 body shocks vs the 2.5 that most reservoir setups have. Anybody running either of these or something similar? Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am waiting for the Bilstein 6112s to come out later this year. Best bang for your buck shock on the market and they’re built to last 100k.

Similar as ^ I'm holding out for the Billstein lineup to be released, either the 6112 or 8112's are in my future.

I tried a set of JRI’s 6 stage adjustable 2.0 with remotes. They are fantastic, I’ll never own a set that’s not adjustable again!
