May have a new shock option soon!

[2000UZJ]

care to elaborate as to why?

My L's are worn out. Between the new Profenders upfront and the old L's, it's a very unique ride.

 

[petrotk40]

Oh, I thought you had profenders in the rear as well

I'll be putting these on my 100 that is becoming a road vehicle. Just what I've been waiting for.

Just curious if anybody know of a distributor for Koni Raid/HT Raids in the US of A? I've run them on overseas rigs, but the only places I've found to get them are in Europe/Australia. The price is alright, a touch more expensive than Fox, but the shipping is killer. Performance wise, they come across as soft and squishy when you grab your rig and try to rock it...but in action these things rock. Supple & compliant in the rough stuff, tough enough to take it day in/out, yet well behaved on-road. Re-valvable & adjustable dampening with a beefy build, suitable for stock through 2" lift. I have a buddy who drives between Addis & Nairobi occationally...he states that he's tried several shocks and tire combinations and the only one that survives for more than 1 trip is the Koni HT Raids with BFG's. (He didn't try Fox I'm guessing)

I've heard that OME shocks are simply a set of Monroe shocks painted yellow. Any truth to this?

I might have some 100 series units remaining in stock... I'll look.

Are you still running 863's? What part numbers did you order?

 

[ckkone]

No, I got rid of the 863 when I sold my rear bumper I'm running 865 now.

Part numbers are the same as listed earlier in this thread:

Front - 985-24-066
Rear - 985-24-067

They were not listed on their website yet, I had to call to place my order.

 

[petrotk40]

ORW is offroad warehouse?

 

[ckkone]

Yeah,

http://www.offroadwarehouse.com/contact

Call the internet number, I left a message and they called back within 10 minutes.

 

[ckkone]

Can't wait to get these on!

 

[2000UZJ]

Can't wait to get these on!

Keep us posted on how they ride. They look great. What did they cost if you don't mind (rears only)?

 

[ckkone]

$114 each, shipping was free

 

[2000UZJ]

Looks like I have a phone call to place in the morning. Thanks!

I'm dumping my Radflo's when the fox 2.5 Reservoirs are released.

I already dumped my Radflos. On the OME L's for now and very happy.....If I could justify the coin, I'd get the Slee's.

These Fox shocks are on my radar but there is something else in the works from another company too. Waiting just a lil bit longer.

 

[2000UZJ]

Order placed for the Fox's. Talked with John at ORW, great guy and actually knew all of his stuff! I still need to do a Pro Fender review for them... I can't deny they gave me a great price, it's a great shock as well.

are you getting just the rears or all 4?

 

[petrotk40]

you bastards, they are sold out now! They placed a new order to Fox and should have some in 3-4 weeks. I went ahead and placed my order

Mine will arrive same time as yours. I'm doing rears only.

 

[petrotk40]

Fox's have shipped, should be here in time for a weekend project! Time to start PB blasting

 

[petrotk40]

Ckkone, did your rears have metal sleeves inside the lower bushings? Mine don't but the front do
