2" lift quote differences

[Drewboyaus]

Question. Mono shocks.
Are they a shock better suited for off roading and less as a daily driver or same same.

Question.
Are they a better shock than the others.

Question.
Will I be happier with mono shocks for the rough stuff.
Do I buy shocks suited for offroad ing or capable shocks for daily driving.

I figure the first as I would rather have a car suited for anything the world throws under me than for what it will be used the majority of the time.
Or am I thinking about this too much.

Just buy Old Man Emu mate, you can't go wrong. It is a perfect all rounder setup. I have it under my ride and it is fantastic.

A Mono shock is a single tube shock and is old a school mate. I'd be chasing a Gas shock (nitrogen) over a foam cell shock. The Nitrogen reduces heat and therefore reduces shock fade over corrugations.

A Remote res shock just has more Gas mate more gas = less shack fade when used on rough roads.

The remote res shock will make very little difference to slow bush work mate. Other than the fact that a remote res shock is generally at the higher end of the market so is likely a better shock all round.

A variable valving shock is far better suited to your needs over an adjustable shock that you have to set up yourself. (Toughdog)

The Old Man Emu ticks all those boxes and is why I am a fan mate. Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have too.

I am very very pleased with the Old Man Emu matched springs and shocks package mate. If you absolutely Have to buy something other that a matched set then think about the Superior Springs. I have them in the GQ and they replaced the flexi coils and OMFG!!!!! Soooooo much nicer.

I spent a long time researching the products before settling on the Suspension Stuff flexi coils and Boss Shocks and Superior everything else. Suspension stuff supplied the Coils and Shocks based on the weight of my car. It was Never Right, drove like a pig and I have now replaced the coils and shocks. The shocks have been replaced twice. Don't rate it at all mate. You only want to do it once Mick.

Old Man Emu have 30 years of Research and Development behind them and their Springs and Shocks. Not many other Manufacturers can make that claim. And it should not be undervalued.

You've definitely given me something to think about. I've had SS, wasn't impressed. I've also had dobinson and they did me well. I might see what OME can do for me. Your right. I want to set this new toy up once.

[NP99]

What about the Lowell's set ups?

[Evo]

Went with Ironman .
I ended up getting bigger, but I have a quote for the 2" kit.
Constant load springs, 41mm foam cell shocks, steering damper, all fitted with alignment, $1600
Supply only, $990
Constant load was only because of present and future accessories.

The longer it takes for me to get things together the higher I get.
First 2", then I was tinkling with 3" but now am researching a 4" lift.
I think I'll be buying things slowly.
I spent most if the night on the net researching.

If I was you I'd be going 2" and 35's

How bout 3" and 35's.

[growler2058]

How bout 3" and 35's.

It's just the legality/road worthiness with the new laws. Even 2" and 35's isn't 100% kosher. Mud runner has a 4" and 35's on his GU flick him a PM and pick his brain

I was just thinking that I'll have a meet with Darren and really have a good chin wag.
I really wanna get something going cos I still got his 2" lift on my truck.

I've probably gotten more info off him from all the threads his relied in, to make a decision.
