You can also include Radflo into the mix of shock companies.
Checking the website it seems that Radflo is custom. You have to choose the shock and spring separetly. Sounds expensive....
Although we do make a lot of custom shocks for a number of different applications,we will be supplying the units for the FJ as a package. This will include the shocks and springs with mounting hardware. We will offer the shocks in 2.0 or 2.5.

I haven't heard any reviews on Radflo yet. How much for front coilovers 2.0or an entire FJC package?
Finally this is being done. Good call Alex. If I cant get my paws on the Donahoe extended travel before the Northeast run, this poll will have a big factor. WE's were my second option

Since Radflow is using my gear as a guinea pig/template for their new FJC shocks/coils, I have a personal interest in seeing them succeed and kick butt!
Doesn anyone knows the coil RATE, COLLAPSED length, EXTENDED length and TRAVEL of those coilovers? This will be very helpful.
I've put some data for SAW, what about the others?
