Sold/Expired Wtb bypass air shocks 16” or 18”

Ryanclimbs · Mar 31, 2018

I've got ORI ST struts and thinking about doing a bypass air shock setup. Anyone run these or have some for sale? Thoughts?!

I've got a 3300lb rear steer rig with 42 reds, atlas, ls1 and looking to continue hard core rock climbing but occasionally go fast with some friends on rzr's

Just FYI a 16" ORI is not the same length as a 16" coilover.

I was unaware they made a bypass air shock.
Seems like they are similar priced to a coil over or close in price to an ori. What would be the benefits of a bypass air shock over the others?

they aren't really recommended by any of the major shock gurus.

Well I have spoken to king and pro fender & both of them say they just fit a very rare niche market which sounds like exactly the market I€™m in!!!

Meaning mostly rock crawling thus the air shock; but improve occasionally on the need to go fast occasionally... they supply a pretty good ride & keep suspension simple... I really like how air shocks hold and don€™t unload on super sketchy rock climbs but I want a better ride straightaway...

My rig is really too light to gets plush ride from the ORI's IMO
