Shocks for a sprung over 40?

For what its worth I have a SOA 40 w/ 60 rears and it ran WAY better w/ dead RS5012s than it does w/ the stock FJ Cruiser Rear Bilsteins that are on it now (less shock = better?). As it sits the rear end has a tenancy to bounce which it didn't before w/ the softer shocks. Sounds counter intuitive, but I guess that's what "testing" is for. Now I just need to do more of it.
 
if you've got a soa, assuming with a steering correction kit installed, your eye/eye length should be in or around 22"-24" depending on weight. Does anyone make a reservoir shock that long?

I just replace my 5150's after 4-5 years of abuse, went with 5125's through Bilstein Shocks, Edelbrock Shocks and more: eShocks.com

Good price, free shipping for orders over $200. Did multiple valving, lighter in the rear....testing for the first time this weekend, see how it goes.

Get 14" stroke shocks for all 4 corners and adjust mounts as needed :) (14" fronts are easy, 12-14" rears should be too)

Their site isn't showing 5125's. Did you call them and specify what you wanted?



I got everything buttoned up yesterday and drove it without shocks. Now I know how useful shocks are. I did a long hill climb with the thing bouncing all over the place.
