Bilstein remote rsevoir revisited...

[TexasCharley]

I have not seen any recent postings regarding Billie remote res shocks and want to know if anyone has put a set through the paces. For the moderate to light expo and overland setup on my 99 I am interested in these as an option. I dont plan on doing any Spressoman style abuse but I definitely want an upgrade over my traditional Billie OEM replacements. I understand I'll do best upgrading the UCA, should I also do the lowers? Any other input on a cost effective upgrade?

Thanks to all in advance.

So it appears Billie's aren't compatible with LC. Sooooo.....is there an option less $ than RadFlo King etc.?

If you're not going to be driving fast down miles and miles of washboard then more than likely you don't need a remote canister mono-type shock. I'd recommend OME...very good bang for the buck and backed by ARB's superior customer service post sale (if/when). No nitrogen tank system to buy and no regular shock maintenance to consider...save some coin for other more useful accessories.

Give Ben or Christo a call at Slee Offroad or Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters and they'll do a good job recommending the right shock for you and your application.
