What's the word on coilovers?

Hey everyone!

A couple of years ago I decided to do the 5100 lift. I paired them with OME springs and was good to go. At first I dug it but as time progressed I have decided it rides like crap.

Sooo...I have always had a fascination with Baja trucks. Ironman's T-100 was the first time I looked at a truck and was truly mesmerized.

That said, anybody who doesn't get out and wheel much switched to ext reservoir shocks and regretted it? I don't get out much but that is a time factor that I would like to change. I probably won't be tackling Baja anytime soon but it would be cool to be able to if I felt like it.

I know it's overkill, but I am wondering if anyone has done it and regretted it. Do you wish you would have gone without the external resi or even just with monotubes? I know build type is important, so my end goal is something of an overland/recovery rig.

Also, how does one find a shop that does suspension work like that? Trust me lads I tried Google and it was not my friend.

I've hammered down on my icon stage 2 suspension (no resi's) and have been completely happy with it.

You didn't notice any fade?
