: Lift Donatello21 02-29-2008, 03:15 PM if i get this: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/index.php3?page=shop/flypage&product_id=310&category_id=c5b6be1f24a3701243ef57e47fd5bd0e&ps_session=d9550271d7333cbaa05cd3cea9fcc686 do i need to get new shocks? i put in Bilstein's, but they are just the stock replacements Drake 02-29-2008, 05:43 PM Yes, otherwise you won't get the full benefit of the extra travel provided by the lift. I mean you could put it on but I wouldn't think you would get near the articulation. Go with the HD5100's for the 3" lift. I'm running them with only a PML. json3904 02-29-2008, 06:51 PM get the new shocks and sell the others.... Donatello21 03-02-2008, 02:49 PM sounds good, thats kinda what i thought anyways. any advantages with the bils over ranchos? iExploreX 03-02-2008, 03:07 PM Do you mean besides the fact that they kick ass? :) json3904 03-02-2008, 05:43 PM LOL i have heard from many others that the ride is alot better.... i have the bils and the ride is smooth...... mgblanke 03-03-2008, 09:28 AM I have the Ranchos and they are some of the best that i have ever had(other than the ProComp ES9000s that i had!) Ricer-X 03-03-2008, 09:36 AM i got the bils and love em mgblanke 03-03-2008, 09:45 AM why does everyone love their bils so much...why are they better....just out of curiousity...almost everyone with an X has bils...why? Ricer-X 03-03-2008, 09:58 AM well, i can attest to their durability i have beat the ever loving hell outta mine, and they still ride just like new the boots arent even torn, color isnt faded, paint isnt chipped, no rust, mine have roughly 50k miles on em the ride is fantastic the price is right im not saying it better than the rest, im saying they are good enough to where ill never find out bc ill always be replacing the shocks on my rigs with bils my 4runner included, it currently has ranchos and are falling apart, leaking oil, boots are torn to shreads, etc json3904 03-03-2008, 10:45 AM when i put the SL on the pathy i am going to go with bils ..... Donatello21 03-03-2008, 12:29 PM so i'm sticking with the bils for sure. the ones i have now on my x kick ass and i've beat the ever living crap out of them, no leaks, cracks, or torn boots. i guess its a no brainer cuz you see them everywhere, i only see ranchos on like, fords.... Drake 03-03-2008, 01:35 PM I guess you could say I got Bils for mine because of the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" way of thinking. I saw member after member with them on their rig and zero complaints so the odds are in my favor that they were going to work for me. With them on now, my X rides better than any of the 4 hondas I've owned believe it or not. I won't put any other shock under my X! soccerbrace 03-03-2008, 02:50 PM i only see ranchos on like, fords.... Love it. I have the bils and I guess I am speshul because my fronts are leaking. The rears are going on soon, but I always get side tracked. | ||
