Shocks

[MOAK]

Coming from the Landcruiser, Jeep TJ worlds I’m having a bit of a learning curve- this springtime I will be visiting Deaver Springs in Santa Ana Ca for Jeff and his crew to add leafs to support a constant 2500 lb load. I’ve trusted this company since the late 1970s to do what is best for any given application. I’ll be going up a bit higher than stock, getting that highboy rake back. I’m thinking Bilstein 5100s for the rear and 4600s for the front as 5100s in the front require a lifted suspension. I’ve never mixed shocks before, but in this case it seems like the reasonable thing to do. Picture for attention!

Cool. We just added the 6112’s up front. Previously we had the Icon 2.5 but they need to be rebuilt and have a broken spring. Honestly we will just keep the 6112’s. I think I like the ride better.

What are you driving and what is in the rear? ( poor Starlink here) Those 6112 are good shocks, but I do have a solid front axle.

Ah Ok. We have Icon 2.0 on the Back with the Icon RXT leaf pack in stage 3 . Stage 3 is the stiffest. we’ve got some weight but cut some too for our last adventure.
