Shock help

Post by B.D.R »

G'day all.

Need some new shock's on the Mav, and i'm after some advice on what is the best way to go.

looking at getting some 3" flexi coils as well so the Shock's will need to suit these.

Looking at Fox 2.0 Pro Series with Remote Reservoir.

Or Bilstein 5150 Series Off Road Crossflow Design Shocks.

Has any one used these shock's in a Patrol SWB or LWB, and if so any thoughts on them.

And has any one got any idea on what length to get?

Thank's
Chris

We do bolt on 2.0's but not remote res to suit patrol with the specific slinky coils we use.

They work well for the intended purpose, wether your intended purpose most suits those shocks, is where the decision is the right or wrong one.

We are also a Bilstein supplier, and they do work nicely on Patrol, as long as they are the correct lengths for the application.

Are the remote res excessive for your average touring truck Daz?
Cheers,

Complete w@nk for anything but offroad racing truck really, or you have a big heavy truck running rough roads at speed constantly on a tight time frame.

Thank's Assassin.

What is the cost of you're FOX shock's? PM's fine

The reason for the Remote Res shock's, is the prices i've seen they are not that much more, and it's not the slowest truck kicking around, and the way i figure it, i may as well buy the best i can afford :armsup:

Having searched the net for prices on the 2.0 Singles and speaking with Darren, his arent an "off the shelf" variety and thus are priced more than what i have found on the web at ABT, Wizard Performance etc.

And no pressed metal pin to eye convertors chewing up shock travel space requiring big bump stop spacers either.
