[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 739243, member: 1068"] It starts to go into theory land pretty quickly when you are talking about trail rigs - it doesnt all really directly translate into seat of the pants, real world differences when you are talking about a set of shocks on a 3500lbs trail rig with 4" of uptravel that never goes faster than 25 mph. That all being said, I do have 2.5 resi coilovers on my ~4000lbs buggy (with about 7-8" uptravel) and I can tell you that there is no possible way that I could out drive those shocks. The potential for the top end of the tune is a lot more in a 2.5 than it is a 2.0 ... but again, real world vs potential isnt something to ignore either. You never hear anyone say that they wish they had a smaller shock in a single shock application...but that can also get screwy when you are slapping bypasses with the wrong tube counts on axle mounted situations and not tuning them right...MORE shocks are not always the right answer [/QUOTE]
