PDA : what shocks do you run? and recmd. bmxican 01-02-2006, 05:22 PM i am going to buy new front shocks right now. i pretty much have enough to buy bilstein so should i go ahead and get these? i will also be doing the 2inch bl. if that changes anything 4x401cj 01-02-2006, 05:37 PM Bilsteins are a quality product for sure, dump the 2" BL idea though.:shaking: fenderbmxer86 01-02-2006, 05:44 PM bilstein work well. you forgot to mention what vehicle, lift, tire size, and what type of terrian your going to be wheeling. bmxican 01-02-2006, 05:48 PM its a 94 yota 4x4 i will be doing weekend wheeling and stuff. i just want to clear some 31's maybe 32s. i wanted 33's but i really dont want to lose soo much power since i dont want to regear. i also don't have the 800+ to do the suspension lift, as i want to do it the right way. i just need new front shocks since the right side one is really f-ed up litteraly hahahahha. mostly rocks and dirt. fenderbmxer86 01-02-2006, 07:10 PM bilstein sound like a good canidate. theres not much of a noticable power loss between 31s and 33s. bmxican 01-02-2006, 08:38 PM bilstein sound like a good canidate. theres not much of a noticable power loss between 31s and 33s. which set should i get? or should i just call marlin? chris408 01-02-2006, 09:13 PM 33s...power loss wont be that bad in 4low, but if its a DD expect some lagging/boggin down. I would get the 33s for better traction and ground clearance. bmxican 01-02-2006, 09:14 PM 33s...power loss wont be that bad in 4low, but if its a DD expect some lagging/boggin down. I would get the 33s for better traction and ground clearance. so you think i should go ahead for a set of 33s over 31s? fenderbmxer86 01-02-2006, 09:58 PM i would run 33s over 31s anyday cuz its not much of a differance at all. most people regret not getting a bigger tire when they purchase their first set. get 35s and be done for awile :flipoff2: chris408 01-02-2006, 11:14 PM so you think i should go ahead for a set of 33s over 31s? One more time: "I would get the 33s for better traction and ground clearance." :flipoff2: now go get them and post pics in Gen 4x4 to show off :flipoff2: Westy 01-03-2006, 10:29 AM 33s and 4.88s are a perfect combination. I'd go 33s, get a narrow 33 like a 33x10.5 to help with daily driving, it wont be as heavy. You can fit 33s with little to no lift. Look into ball joint spacers to get 1.5 lift in the front.. Check yotatech.com for lots of good info on them. get bilsteins or bbcs.
