Hiya all,I have a 02 gu wagon,I'm running a 2" lift using Dobinson coils and Gabriel foam cell shocks,The ride I get from this setup is very harsh.

What is advisable to change first coils or shocks?,Do the shocks or type of shock play a huge part in final ride or is it mainly a coil thing?.

Any help would be appreciated,Thanks in advance dkne5.

What coils did you go for? I guess heavy duty coils could give a harsher ride?

i believe foamcell shocks are to stiff for unloaded applications.

I run dobinson 4" XHD coils and don't find the ride too harsh at all, infact its quite comfortable. I'm running Pro Comp ES9000 shocks though, i reckon they're pretty good too.

cheers
