What are you guys running for suspensions? I've got 108k on the new Sherpa and its in need of refreshing? Not sure of the cost for stock replacement vs FOX coilovers.

You guys know the terrain. Wanting to keep a supple ride as it's the wife's DD

I'd say BILSTEIN 5100s or the rancho rs9000 series quick lifts. Cheap and have done well for many. You'll Gaon a little height but maintain the ride without spending more than $500

Thanks! Then do ride height sensor mod in back?

 

[jclarke450]

@bhendron that is what I did. For me it is temporary until I decide which full system I will do, but it is doing quite well. I am happy with the struts so far and picked up about 2.75 inches. There are many who prefer the Bilsteins which are similar in cost. I just did the Ranchos because they were cheap and fast with adjustability. Not unhappy with the ride at all.

Anybody around this weekend?

 

[BlackCat]

I'm always here. I've spent the last couple weekends at Butcher Jones off roading and shooting s*** in the desert.

I was thinking of going up to Payson but I could easily be talked out of it if it's something fun.

 

[kwkshift]

I'm here in Scottsdale, but I'm working Saturday.

Are you talking about getting together for a beer or get together to go wheeling somewhere?

 

[NMBruce]

Beer. We are going up to Prescott national forest on Sat or Sunday to play around, so that could work too.

 

[BlackCat]

I'll send you a message Sunday morning, I'll actually be in Prescott.

 

[kwkshift]

I was planning on going to cars-n-coffee Saturday morning, too. We could meet there.
