Re: Onother Suspension question
Am using rancho rs5113 on rears scott, its 20.25" / 12.88" Eye to Eye, they are good but hard
Jordi, i can find L200 shocks eazy but i think they will be hard as my rear ranchos
i was thinking of getting the same shocks as fronts and weld a eye at the top .
DAD... i need 60 euros for the rear shocks please?????

Re: Onother Suspension question
All I can say is, whatever you do, avoid pro-comp es3000s... most shocks use gas or oil, I think es3000s use cement

Re: Onother Suspension question
Chris (EKTOZ) and I were discussing the possible use of L200 Hilux twin cab shocks - I guessed they would be way too hard just as you say Jordi, they are made for a MUCH heavier truck.

Re: Onother Suspension question
So 270mm travel (10.6") that's good to know, means they have just over 1" more travel than astra shocks.ektoz wrote:Daddy they are
