So i have been wheeling with out my rear shocks or sway bar. I love the flex im getting with out them. I would like to keep some of the travel im getting.


What shocks would be a good long travel shock?

Also are the stock shocks long enough for like coil spacers and AAL?


Thanks guys

 

anyone?

 

its been 2hrs and it's the middle of the day......give it time young one.

 

it is night time on the east coast now, or getting close

Get some bilsteins 5100's or 5125s. If you a baller get some 5150's

 

^^ Wut he said. ^^

 

what the difference in them

 

Click Me

in that link what shocks should i get i dont really understand the numbers

 

5150's have resi's.

go to bilsteins site. compare and contrast the shocks and their specifications and builds.

 

bilstein FTW!! by the way, how was the ride with no shocks in the back?

 

the ones that come with the RCD kit seem to have a fair amount of travel.
5100 or 5125s, probably 12" travel.. not sure.

 

well its a little bouncy but when i had a load of wood in the bed and the trailer full it wasn't to bed surprisingly. but with out them it is pretty bouncy and really bad axle wrap but great flexing off road

 

yea i was gonna say.
you may gain some travel but your gonna get some pretty wicked wheel hop/axle wrap.. something a ranger is pretty bad at with shocks.

 

yeah if i had traction bars i think it would be better with out shocks.


What do the number mean like 225/70 shocks i understand?

 

the valving.
compression and rebound? jounce? not sure.. lol

 

i know its the valving but idk what they mean lol

 

Get some poly performance BBCS shocks
