So there appears to be a flood of new product in to the Titan Swap Coilover Market. Thought I'd throw up a post listing them rather than them being buried in random posts.
Radflo
--Available about everywhere it seems. Lots of history on the product.
--Come in 2", 2 1/2", and 2 1/2" with Reservoir designs.
--Available with a range of springs.
--Suppliers would include Z1 Offroad, ADO, Nisstec, CJD Racing, and others I'm sure
Nisstec MKII
Nisstec MKII
--Good initial reports on ride quality. At time of me typing this they've been on market for less than a year.
--Issues are the company itself has floundered under poor customer service, long lead times due to Covid, generally some customers feel lied to...but have never heard of I never got my MKII's...just that it took forever.
--Travel is limited to around 8"(8.3 if I recall) and this was not stated in original offering.
CJD Racing
CJD Coilovers
--No one has used them yet as far as I'm aware. Just released them 5/2023 when I created this post.
--Won't tell the actual travel of them but say 'its designed by US to use ALL of the available suspension travel'.(after Nisstec flub it seems all suppliers are snarky about their suspension travel...or snarky in general)
--Only offered in Remote reservoir(CJD appears to cater to the high end of what works)
Carbon Shocks
Carbon Shocks Titan Swap Coilovers
--Seems I've heard they have a good reputation
--Claim 5" of shock travel(around 9.5 at wheel)
--Appears they will tune them to your usage
ADO Fox Offering
--
ADO Fox Extended Travel<--This is what's available today
--According to this post, they're coming out with true TS option...
----
Fox Titan Swap Option
--Reports I saw ere 9.3" of wheel travel likely for full TS option...but maybe not.
--Have to remove coilover to adjust preload/lift due to Fox design
Z1 offroad
--
Dobinson's Extended Travel
--No known travel numbers yet
--Z1 has released an extended travel they're saying can be used on Titan Swap according to others. I believe the plan is to use a spacer to make up the length difference. Unsure how this works in full but knowing Z1 all it would take is a phone call to get the full scoop
Tundra Struts DIY Coilover
TheNewX Tundra Coilover for Titan Swap
--This has its own whole post...and is what I'm currently running. Have on my list of 'to dos' is a summary of that 60+ page post and the info collected there
--Gyst of this is using a Later 90s to early 2000s Tundra Strut and finding the proper spring to give you the lift you want. The linked thread has over 60 pages full of good info and cross links to other info on Spring selection, Top Hats, and other sites with info.
--Other Cliff Notes
-----There are like 3 good aftermarket choices here. Bilstein, Eibach, and ProComp(but unsure if its the right size anymore).
-----Springs can be Moog for limited travel(7" or so) to use with factory Top Hats. OEM Toyota Springs gain 10" of travel when paired with custom Top Hat.
-----Can add grooves to Bilsteins or any of them to adjust ride height.
Bilstein 6112 Coiilover
Bilstein 6112 Option
-Much like the Tundra Struts, this is a higher end Bilstein 2 1/2" strut that you have to pair with a custom top hat to get full usage out of.
-CJD recommends these as their thought for budget top hat option. Almost as good as a true coilover...top end design of the strut is only lmiting factor I was told.
-I have seen these on many different websites recently as Titan Swap alternatives. Link takes you to CJD. OTher sites I've found them on by searching p/n have given me more info on them...
-I think I found travel numbers and that these come with 650 lb springs...which is what is needed for a very heavy Xterra....would probably have to switch down to lighter spring for factory front or add snapring grooves. I will try to find the other info and include it here. Its likely buried in the Tundra Coilover thread above toward end
Sway Away Coilovers
Sway-Away Link
-Don't know much about them but know they've been out a long time. Just lesser known. My recollection is they sold out many years ago to a bigger name company and had kind of fallen out of mainstream Titan Swap work
-Have to source springs, which should be whatever rate/lenth eibach's you need. Follow sites recommendations for Radflo or others and I figure you'd be OK.
-Top Hats may be the problem. YOu need a special Coilover to Nissan conversion tophat.
PRG Tophats<--note I only go here because I know they have them...not because I'd want to take a chance they deliver the product. Not sure if anyone else sells them.
