GEN 1 Front Suspension Options

[timgoldstein7]

Rebuild stock front
Stock front on mid perch
Stock front with Geiser springs

With associated costs considered with messing around with the front stock suspension..

What is a reasonable alternative that both improves performance off-road and increases ride height in the front?

Is there a bolt on option that will accomplish this?

Stock on mid is stock on bottom geiser, both will lift the front. i do like the geisers but after a while of owning them i think i prefer the factory mid setup better. I also run E rate tires which probably affects the ride along with the bit stiffer geisers. Idk that just me, i kinda want to try 3.0s with oem mid springs. But i can’t afford to just try setups LOL

Right... I'm thinking cost to have stock suspension rebuilt versus getting some $3000 Fox or King 3.0s...

Install a different coil bucket in order to run Gen2 parts. Camburg or KHC offer the buckets.
Getting a little more out of it going this route.
