Howdy all,
Well the cruiser comes out of the paint shop on tues or wed now i was wondering i am nearly certain wat shocks i want but a few second ops will be helpful
Now there will be a 2.5 suspension lift ans 2 body.
Now i am leaning towards the Tough Dog Big Bore Adjustables 53mm
Or The rancho rs5000
Now take into consideration that i will be towing the mrs and my horse in a horse float and also want some practical 4x4 also i will have the climax drop shackles in as well am i leaning in the right direction do u think?

I though only the 35mm and 45mm where adjustable???

I have the 45mm's and they are good.. had to send one back due to a leaky seal.. but apparently they had a few probs with the first lot that came out...


Apparently they have now fixed the problem..

Oztec shocks same manufacture as TJM shocks with lifetime warrantee $105 for limited time. Norm $150.
Dobinsons/EFS for $95 each. Norm $126
