Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey,

I have a 105 series with 220 on the clock now, its got the full extreme 4" lift from EFS. It all came with it when i bought the car, so i dont really know how long its been on there however the shocks are showing their age a bit and im looking to replace them. I think the springs are fine tho.. The shocks range from $250-290 each, although they are up there with the best, im not sure i need such a heavy duty comp spec shock.

Just wondering what else is out there, i hear good things about Ironman foam cells and not so good things about toughdog, so im just wondering what other people think and what their experiences have been?

PS - the car weighs a constant 3.1 tonne aswell and i usually tow and i dont have sway bars... (which, im assuming, would wear the shocks faster.

Cheers

I've found Koni 88s are great for a heavy vehicle.

How much did you pay for them?

Are you going to stay with 4" lift for towing?

I would have thought 2" HD would be more stable and appropriate?
Springs are cheap.
Will make your range of shocks easier to buy, larger range in 2" lift.

Heres some shocks to suit 4".
The Pro Comps seem well priced, i use them on my patrol and they feel ok on the road.

On my 105 i had Old Man Emu and they seemed very good all round.

I dont tow that much weight, its about a tonne or so, just a builders trailer. Having the trailer doesnt bother the ride quality much at all.

Yeah, i was going to stay with 4 inch, quite happy with the clearance and what not


Just had a look on the the suspension stuff site, the pro comp shocks dont look too bad, $600 for 4, delivered! Might give them a shot
