[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 711043, member: 1780"] They are easier to tune (For crawling) in that you can adjust top and bottom n2 pressures to get it to "good enough" without having to fawk with valving and oil weight/volume as much as you would on air shocks, or spring rates/lengths, oil, and n2 pressure in coilovers. ORI's out of the box are more plug and play than either of coilovers and airshocks. But they are also nearly 50% higher than Coilovers and double or more than the cost of a set of Fox 2.0 air shocks, not counting what you spend on a n2 fill kit. N2 fill kit would probably still be needed for air shocks, but you could get by without it for coilovers unless you plan to revalve and mess with the oil in them too. For as light a buggy the OP has, I'd throw some 14"-16" Fox 2.0 airshocks on that sucker and make it work. I've seen too many rigs work with them on it. Adding the sway bar as mentioned before isn't a bad idea either. People talk **** about sway bars as being bandaids for bad suspension geometry but I never heard anybody talking **** about JohnG's sway bars when he went up some **** few others could. :****: [/QUOTE]
