Hey all! I recently picked up an '06 100 series and the AHC works fine but the rear shocks are shot. The truck has an ARB front bumper and a 4x4 Labs rear bumper with dual swing outs (spare tire & jerry can). So obviously heavier than stock. I like the idea of keeping the AHC working as I know the on road ride quality would be nicer.
Question is, with the aftermarket bumpers on, is that too much weight to sink money into new OEM rear shocks + an AHC refresh? The consensus online seems to be to upgrade to an aftermarket setup which would probably be cheaper depending on how much of the AHC needs work. I daily drive it and while it will see off-road time, it will spend most of it's time on road and don't want to sacrifice too much ride quality.
Bonus advice: If I did go aftermarket, I like the Ironman Stage 3 FCP because of it's relatively low maintenance and value. Would love to know how you're liking your Ironman FCP setups compared to stock.
Thanks guys.
