this right here i beleave really says it all....... " Setup has a lot to do with how they perform "

im just asking a general comparison question as in good or bad, run the air shocks or no go coil overs and yes the air shocks are 2.5's. Whats been the issue with eveyone wanting to switch from air shocks to coil overs like what fails have happened ?

Ok guys im wanting opinions, i just got offered a good deal on a pair of air shocks for my rig. Iv been looking hard at coil overs till this come up so im really wanting input on these shocks if there good to run or have problems let me here it all good, bad or indefernt.

Well thats the prices i was quoted right over the phone for a pair of 2.0 fox emulsion coil overs EOR $425 each + $50 sh = $900 WOD $450 each + $40 sh = $940 Down South Motor Sports $456. each free shipping = $912

Well i did call EOR and WOD and got prices on the coil overs fox 2.0 emulsions and all i can is they are really knowledgeble guys but OUCH...... on price, looking $900-$1000 just for 2 coil overs shipped to my door setup ready to go. Im on a tight budget same as alot of guys

I have priced the fox shocks and have come no where near that price of big shocks for what im wanting. I also know several rigs running big shocks that are way heavier than any rock buggy and abuse them far beyond what a crawler will do, im talking rigs weighing over 10k lbs jumping big air and...

I spent most of yesterday talking with shock techs and vendors and while doing this i spoke with Jarrod at Big Shocks and he said for my application he could hook me up with the exact valving and spring rate to make my ride what im after. He did say that the corner weights are critical to...

That's why i said valving 75 / 50 but i might consider 75 / 55 with around 180 psi charge of nitrogen. After talking with several fox dealers and techs the reason they are shipped with 200 psi of nitrogen is to seat the seals and valves they say adjust the the nitrogen psi as needed. They told...

I was already looking at FOX shocks but im trying to really make my mind up between 2.0 or 2.5's Whats eveyones take on this? I know that weight of the rig has alot to do with this choice and so does type of driving style

Ok, guess next big question what is the best coil over shocks to buy that will hold up and take a good beating but not kill the bank account?????

Neal3000 did you ever get any weight of your rig or you just tuning through trial an error? Iv talked with a couple guys with rigs weight at 5000 lbs who are running valving at 80/50 but I think that's a little much on the top end so that is why I was figuring 75/50.

I know that there is no generic setup numbers im just trying to gather info on what others have done so i know a close range to start with so im not sinking a bunch of money in to springs that i wont use

I know that' it's critical to have the unsprung or chassis weight to get the correct spring rate for holding up the rig but it's also good to have the total or sprung weight per corner for the rebounding and valving if I'm correct.

The way I'm looking at setting up the coil overs with 16" shocks I can run the shaft extended out exactly half way with 8" of extension and 8" of compression. But with limiting straps and bump stops be probably more like 7" both ways

Iv talked with a couple differnt people and thank you all for the input. This is what iv come up with so far and this is not knowing the weight of the buggy, please feel free to give your all opinions 16'' travel shocks running a 16" top spring with 18" lower spring spring rate 175 top / 200...

I understand that I need a scale weight to really determine coil rate but I'm trying to gather information and ideas as to what has worked for others with similar rigs like spring rates and valving. I'm thinking about 175 / 200 for my springs as a starting point and then go from there. I know...

I know I really need to weigh it but if I had to guess it's about 4500 lbs total and really close to equal weight front and rear, so ball park in at 1125 lbs per corner and most of the weight is down low with axles tires and wheels. Wish I had or knew someone close with corner scales so I could...

Ok I know that this is probably an old subject and that each rig is differnt but I'm trying to gather ideas as far valving and spring rate on coil over shocks that you guys are running. I'm mainly looking at running a pair of coil overs on my front end. My buggy is simple with a sbc, auto trans...
