[QUOTE="crawlin85cj, post: 293248, member: 2643"] I had a set of ORIs and they weren't for me. I never could get them to work good on my trail rig. After months of pressure changes, adding/removing oil and emails back and forth with ORI I sold them. I ordered my first set of KING coilovers and out of the box they were better. I ended up lowering the upper spring rate in the rear. I never changed valving in them and they are now on my race Jeep. Call it neglect but in the 3 years I've owned them I've yet to change the oil, orings or seals. I need to add some compression valving to them and I will replace the seals and oil when I do. I have had KINGs on every buggy I've had since and have yet to have an issue. They are simple to service yourself, parts are cheap, availability of shocks and replacement parts is great and tuning is endless. For a trail only rig I'd toss a set of emulsions on it and go. If you want to spend the coin up front for bumps it's never a bad idea but you possibly could get away without them by running the cancel nuts down and forcing the lower spring to do all the work at the end of the compression stroke. A cheap set of poly bumps could also be a possibility. It really depends on your budget. I think you'll find emulsion shocks with springs are pretty reasonable on price. Just my opinion, I'm sure there are guys out there that are very happy with their ORIs, if not they wouldn't still be building shocks. They just weren't for me. Wide Open Design keeps coilovers with springs in stock and can help you with initial valving setup as well as any future tuning. It's nice to have someone who knows shocks to help you get things right no matter which direction you go. There is nothing worse than a shitty riding buggy!!!! [/QUOTE]
