The guys steered me in the right direction for what I wanted. Awesome to deal with.

You can buy 2nd gen Tacoma suspension from many different places but Hotshot Offroad provides parts AND SERVICE! Colton is the MAN. He made me a priority during the entire selection process and helped me choose the right parts for my application. Once I placed the order, Colton continued to stay in regular communication with me about when my parts would arrive, build time, etc. I also know that if I had any issues or needed help after the sale, I could call him and he would provide the same world class customer service. You can't find that level of service anywhere in today's world. I've sent a couple friends his way and would recommend Hotshot Offroad to anyone in the market for Tacoma or Tundra parts.
After installing 2 Bilstein lift kits that come with zero instruction i was happy to see the Eibach come with a detailed set of instructions with lots of color photos! I always get top service and personal specs from Hotshot. The lift gave me dead on 2” lift up front. Exactly what i wanted.
Received excellent support on the phone and a timely delivery of my Bilstein suspension kit for my 2023 F150. Install was easy and the 6112/5160 are a dramatic improvement of my stock suspension.
Very pleased with these rear shocks. I had a ton of feedback and chatter from the rear of my 2020 Tundra on our rough PA roads and these completely smoothed things out for me. Looking forward to seeing what they can do in the long run.
I bought a set of 6112 pre-assembled along with a pair of 5160 for my F150 Tremor. They were bulky and sent out quickly as promised.
I ordered the All Lights On for my 2020 Tacoma. The install is simple and fast. It is a big improvement while driving with the high beams on.
I've had the stealth light bar kit and BETTER BRACKET installed for over a year. Living in northern New England and driving mostly on gravel and seasonal roads with lots of washboard, frost-heaves, and pot-holes. I can attest this thing is super high quality. ROCK SOLID - with no visible shake.
First and foremost, the customer service is better than any online retailer bar none. Fight me if you disagree. These dudes literally took half an hour out of their day to answer all of my questions. Shipping was quicker than anticipated. The coilovers were assembled professionally and they ride exactly as expected per my conversation with these guys. Finally, it is rare to find a company that actually gives a damn about you, verses just making money. These guys actually give a damn and go above and beyond. Buy with absolute confidence!
Works as intended. I drive a 23 Taco TRD OR with the factory LED light package.
This saved me from having to try and tap into my Tacomas wiring harness, with maybe 2 strands of copper wire for the backup lights. Gave it 5 stars for not only having a great product but for the customer service as well.
Tubular Delta Pro Upper Control Arms | 2021+ F150
Product is great, shocks are firm but not uncomfortable. Truck rides smoother, less body roll in turns/corners, and absorbs bumps much better. Great on and off road. Rear shocks were back ordered, Hotshot was great with communication, keeping me updated throughout the process. Took longer than initially expected due to Bilstein production, but Hotshot Off-road was great to work with.
Fixed my Tundra lean with one shim driver's side. A+
Was able to fit bigger tires without any trimming.
Couldn’t be happier with build quality and the customer service provided by Colton was refreshing. It made my decision a no-brainer to order my other suspension components from HotShot Offroad.
Exactly what I was looking for. Came completely assembled and ready to throw on the truck. Was even pleasantly surprised to see that the rear shocks came with the Bilstein reservoir bracket. Would definitely recommend both this set and Hotshot Offroad.
Let me set the scene. I drive a 2017 F-150, FX4 package, super-crew with a 6.5' box, heavy payload/max tow package (don’t roast me if they’re two different options) and 5.0 engine. In full transparency, I wanted to upgrade from the factory suspension after 75k miles but did not want a complete level. You read that correctly... I hate seeing leveled trucks with the smallest load looking skyward. I tow/haul on a pretty regular basis and wanted a slight rake. Hotshot Offroad was/is amazing, I cannot recommend them enough! And will continue looking at them for my aftermarket needs. However, Teraflex had better continue reading. Even the most inexperienced YouTube mechanic can complete a full suspension swap with the basic hand tools. But Teraflex has these fully assembled on the level setting, which was far less than ideal for my application needs. The whole kit arrived in five separate deliveries, yes you also read that correctly. Over the course of a week I was getting packages that I would hope not fall victim to a porch pirate. The directions for everything were non-existent from Teraflex regarding their torque values, and was only able to obtain a copy a few days later via the customer service call-center. The rear shocks were the real pain in the (rear), which was surprising. Even on their "daily driver setting" I had to stand on them to compress. Then the fun part of trying to quickly stick them behind the axle without crushing a hand or finger while trying to line up two bolts while they decompressed. This was not something I had planned or enjoyed, and did not help with the shoulder reminder “the guy on the internet didn’t take this long”. Back done, time for the front. After being unable to safely compress the front coil springs myself to drop them down a peg, I took them to my local mechanic who I had scheduled for the alignment post install. Even with their wall mounted Branick spring compressor, they could barely compress the springs enough to lower them one notch (I have yet to hear back from Teraflex on the exact spring rate). The whole crew got quite the laugh at the extreme spring weight, thinking that I would be driving the most uncomfortable pickup in town. Glad that part was over so that I could install, but very disappointed that this could not have been done before being drop-shipped to my door. The front strut installation went as smoothly as one could imagine, just took my time and verified my OEM torque specs while following along with the pictures from Teraflex. After driving a few days for the springs to settle, I am sitting at exactly 1" below level on the fronts compared to the rear. The difference in ride quality is night and day. I no longer fear the back end from shooting out from under me on a crack in the asphalt at 60 MPH and love the three-position adjustability (who truly needs more than that). The fronts feel more controlled and planted, but not excessively stiff. I have, and will continue to enthusiastically recommend this kit. They are 100% better than my FX4 shocks/struts/spring combination. Take this writeup with a grain of salt, it was my intention to give an honest perspective about my experience and expectations.
Said he/was on vacation and later said busy catching up after vacation, never sent an item or issued refund
Install it! And I did. Just a little corrective lift for that “left front Tundra sag.” Perfect! I can’t say enough about Colton, THE customer service champion, who reminded me about it upon my purchase of the new shocks.
Coleton helped me out when another company was letting me down! He called me personally and discussed my needs. I am very satisfied. As for the 8112s, they are a night and day improvement over what I had before. I have no regrets
I have yet to install them, but I LOVE the service I received from Hot Shot. Will definitely purchase from them again!
