[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 389578, member: 1780"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Coil overs or not ?[/b] I just have read an awful lot about folks having to rebuild them. Not just this thread, but all over forums. ORI is the same as an air shock on compression, it just also has the rebound chamber that prevents the crazy unloading you get with normal air shocks. I understand how they work and it's pretty ingenius. My air shocks on the rear ride so smooth, it's great, they just unload. So by theory, ORI's would be the answer between the two. However, I think there are benefits to be reaped by the progression of dual spring rates on a coilover, that will never be achieved by a shock that incorporates an "air spring" only. I've still gotta actually trail test my rig with the new coilovers on the front (and airs on the rear), to see exactly how it does, but just driving in the yard, it feels crazy stable compared to before, rides good, and body roll is gone as far as I could tell. I expected it to be better after being linked in the front, but did not expect it to be that much better. Still, some of that could change once I twist it up on some junk in the woods. Won't know for certain until it is wheeled....which will hopefully be this weekend. [/QUOTE]
