Toytec 3G lift /shock question..

[giguchan]

Hey all,
I was wondering... when configuring the Toytec lift for my 3G there was a drop down for rear shock options. I was able to determine that i dont want a hard stiff ride - but rather a more of a comfy ride. I will be riding on C rated Duratracs when all is said and done.
The options are:
procomp9000 series
OME 60028 "COMFY"
Bilstein 5125's

At first glance the shocks marked "comfy" would be the proper choice.... but i just want to make sure that they are what i should be ordering.. My Wheeling is 60% road and 40% lite paths, trails and the beach run.. no rock crawling or anything too crazy..
Thanks in advance

60028 are still somewhat firm. Id go 5125s.

Hey Man,
Ya think so? thanks for the reply. I went to the bilstein site, but i kind of got lost and did not know where to turn.. i know i dont want a hard ass ride... i guess for the money they are great shocks.. at least that is what i heard..
thanks again

The billies are softer. I've ran both shocks with the same old man emu coils. Billies are softer.

What springs are you going with?

I'm on E rated duratracs and "heavy" OME 861's and think the ride is fine.

OEM 600's in the front
OEM 890'S in the rear normal load. i will have a after market bumper on front and rear but it was not heavy enough to warrant the 650's I dont even see 861's as a choice in the drop down I am also going to order the Lower control arms too..

You must be doing the coil overs up front then?

Many don't like the sag of the 890's and the harshness of the 891's. You may want to look at some 7.5 or 8 wrap LC coils for the rear. Just my $.02

yes i am doing coilovers in the front... the lift i was looking at comes with them.. i think at over 1K they better.

thanks for the tip... i did not know the the 890's sagged...
