Living in the cape and traveling the PDR many times a year, standard aftermarket shocks have never lost performance brThat test machine doesn’t reflect on road conditions

So we just skip twin tube vs mono??
Comment from : @livintherealworld

Well, I am not going to get under my FJ every day to adjust the suspension settings I use Walker-Evans and I figure set it and forget it

After over 20 year's of 4wding in many different vehicles Shocks have always been a talking point The usual shocks being advertised and sold are a twin tube 4wd shock They are marketed as being much better offroad due to having another tube allegedly protecting the internal tube Yet what they don't tell you is that the twin tube style of shock has its gas in-between the outer and inner tube and a much smaller diameter inside They do not have more protection than a monotube shock yet they suffer from major fatigue due to he heat and the smaller oil/gas capacity If you look at every offroad competition vehicle They all have monotube shocks with separate oil/gas reservoirs The bores are much bigger and they displace heat a lot quicker than any of the double tube shocks I have found Monotube shocks offer outstanding performance off and on road and much better value in comparison to any of the twin tube alleged 4wd shocks

I like the idea of adjustability, but will I actually use it? No, not the reasons for adjustibility, but would I actually go around and make the changes? I am inherently lazy I do not really change my tyre pressures based on load, I don't change my graphic equaliser based on the music I am playing, I don't change how I salt or sweeten foods or drinks based on taste I just do what I have always done So, while I agree, a great idea, I probably would never use Other than to brag about

You don’t need adjustable shocks on a road car or 4x4 They are for competition use The average owner of a tourer isn’t going to understand the complexity of adjusting bump & rebound or spend the time adjusting them every time they go off road Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
Comment from : @matk4731

can see them making a difference if your racing short coarse trucks trying to shave off a few seconds per lap
Comment from : @donbinkins4922

98 of the time you'll be OK with the aftermarket, the remote res is awesome if money are not object but most of the time an overkill
Comment from : @BenzinioB

Remote reservoir shocks are in a similar category to "Race" brakes for a racing car No one disagrees they are superior in performance, but they really need to be warmed up and used hard to work as intended If they are stone cold and moving tiny amounts on a highway, the piston isn't travelling enough to cycle the oil through to the remote reservoir This is why companies like Ironman recommend foam cell or big bore as a more appropriate compromise for 4x4s

Love the Fulcrum lift kit for my Pajero Sport with Formula shocks and King springs Rides so much better day to day, towing the van and offroad

With the ifs vehicles what diff drop are you guys using?
Comment from : @jakesmika4890

Always best to get a shock you can tune to what you are using it for
Comment from : @JordBann

These things are over the top and unnecessary for 90 of 4x4ers For daily driving and most tracks you’re not feeling any difference Plus there’s more pieces to fail I have had landcruisers with both and wouldn’t waste the money on remote res

It'd be nice to have them on my 4by but I don't own a ranger and that's all fulcrum make at the moment

I had a GVM upgrade from new by Pedders Not a reservoir or adjustable valve body on any of itbrI still run those original shocks, the ride is so good stillbrI have Bundutop RTT along with complete floor to roof storage system, this Pedders GVM upgrade system has good body roll control whilst offering very good control over corrugations, rough terrain with excellent flex Was pricey, worth every centbrAll in all, very impressed with ride comfort of my Pedders secondary manufacturer GVM GU Patrol

Comment from : @OurTone1111

Does anyone have any experience with West Coast Suspension shocks or Tough Dog shocks? Looking for some feedback
Comment from : @user-wk8co4vh4c

I am curious which size remote shock i need for mine 8 inch lifted F350 2002 the leaf springs around are pretty stiff because of the shocks that came with the kit i really like to have more flex so probably i need longer shocks
Comment from : @boery87

No needfor them Just a gimmick to bleed more cash out of people
Comment from : @TheBuzurk

The right shock for me Has to be at a Price suited to meThese are Not them
Comment from : @Turbo-Drew

Can you adjust compression and rebound… springs carry the load and not shock absorbers Stiffer springs stop the vehicle rolling in corners with sway bars…shock absorbers help slow the spring compression and rate of rebound…or am I missing the point…
Comment from : @phillip9524

One of my big considerations, and one that wasn't mentioned, was cost
Comment from : @UncleWayne5104

I think I’ve decided on some new shocks Great vid boys
Comment from : @zac2882

I'm in nz and need my shocks rebuilt Does anyone do it over here?
Comment from : @brendonheapy223

Comment from : @joels2517

I drive a GU, do you think I care about ride comfort?
Comment from : @pv3566

Okay, so what I have been thinking about lately is shock lengths in relation to flexibility I bought a 4" suspension lift kit a few years ago Since I started watching YouTube about a year ago, I keep seeing 3" or 4" springs with 6" to 12" shocks Apparently for more flex I would love to see the science, to work out what length shock is best for my 4" springs to increase it's flexibility My 80 Series is 952 shopping trolley, 46 tourer & 02 extreme rock crawler
Comment from : @MicahBell_1860

Im running remote res on the ranger Nice to have adjustable damping Got profender Great value Good on and off road
Comment from : @Ripply774

Fox and Radflo have been doing it for years We're always a bit slow off the mark in Australia From having a few lift kits, I've found they are all crap unless you get them valved and sprung to the weight of you vehicle and never change the weight Or make them adjustable Basically don't waste your money unless they are adjustable
