never had a drama with the TD's and they get thrashed.

Just thought i would piont out that there is no such thing as an indestructable shocker. They fit Fox shocks to some of the high end camper trailers and when i lived in the Kimberly i have seen them fail along with every other brand out there from bilsteins through to konis and OME's.

Strongly agree, nothing is indestructable no matter what some people will try tell you.

hello Have you thought about FABTECH shocks I have them on my GQ and i love them they have the same internals as FOX shocks and they are about the same price. You will be able to set them up to your car and fine tune them, Just an IDEA cheers Rick.

Something i found in another thread ,

In mid to Late January Superior Engineering's Range Of remote Reservoir shocks to suit toyota and nissan's, 2,3,4,5,6 inch lifts will be released!
30 stage adjustable externally on rebound as well as 30 stage adjustable externally on the compression.
Fully rebuildable as well !
They come in either piggy-back or remote canister.
The are made to suit our specs and can be made to any size we require.
Price will not be much more expensive than the tough dog 45mm so that make them a hell of a lot better option than any other shock on the market.
Full details will be posted on our website in early to mid january and they will be available for sale by late january.
At this stage we are not giving away much more detail until there launch.
If you are looking at purchasing shocks within a month or so it may pay wait.

Is anyone running these yet? Any feedback or pics? There are no pics on ther superior web site.

I must admit, that after having Rancho adjustables on the Mav' (old ones with only 5 stage adjustment) I really liked the adjustable bit.

That said, I only ever used two settings: '5' for on road and '1' for offroad.

I was looking at TD's, but not now. Boss from 4H (with LocTite addition of course) might be the next best stop.

im actually just waiting for my superior rr shocks to arrive for the rear of the gq as we speak. on paper they seem the goods and like others have said are adjustable. so hopefully they are the goods.
and if 1madengineer has had anything to do with them they should be alright.
for the record im replacing a set of ranchos(bent along with a set of lower control arms) and found the ranchos alright but not brilliant and to big a tube for the gq. hit in a few different spots.
also price for the src shocks is pretty much on par with any 2.0 fox shock price i got of anybody. and the fox shocks arnt adjustable.

lol mines in 2 pieces in a bucket, and yep looks like the whole shaft unscrewed itself, then under articulation it popped out

If it popped out under extension in normal use then would that not suggest that the damage could have been caused by them topping out - and ripping them selves apart? because they were too short for your vehicles suspension set up?

or have i missed something there?

Please note im not saying TD's dont have problems in any way shape or form. just wondering if there are contributing factors.

I would think most 4x4's including from factory, use the shock as the limit for down travel.

In your's, what limits downtravel if not the full extension of the shock?
