chris_oakley Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thinking of running fox shoxs on the rear of my 90' The truck is only being used for challenges. not road use. Theres so many to choose from which ones come recommended. size wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Why just the rear shocks? You have to think of your suspension as a system, front and rear together. How fast are you travelling? How much travel do you have/want? Does it balance with the front? How heavy is the vehicle? What mounting brackets do you have? Changing one item is not really the way to go with suspension mods, you need to decide what you want and build everything to suit. Always makes me chuckle that people get massive articulation on the rear with very little on the front, because it's cheap and easy to do the rear and difficult and expensive to get the front to work well.

simonr Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Lots of people (me included) go for 14" which gives lots of travel. The quality is outstanding and of course they are fully rebuildable and adjustable. Have a chat with Milners armed with an approx vehicle weight and intended use and they should be able to give you good advice. I would have no hesitation in buying another set when I need some!

will_warne Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If you are not planning on doing any speed stuff have a look at Fox air shocks: cheaper and almost infinitely tunable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
