Drop shackles? Wouldnt the +2s be the same ?

Hows the on road with geisers i read they are a bit rough and are more for off road.
I dont mind a bit of a stiff vs soft cushy ride (phrasing lol) just dont want to ruin boots ect.

Now you see why i got a headache LOL. Idk enough about these things and theres a lot of info going back and forth on each side.

Yes they would but you can get more droop and Payload with the +3’s.

On road is great, definitely doesn’t jarr you around or anything, but you can tell that they’re stiffer. Haven’t gone off-road with them yet, other than the occasional high speed veering off the side of the road where the grass and gravel are and kicking it sideways a little and hitting ditches lol.
I agree there is a lot to consider. That’s part of the fun though man. If you don’t like one setup, change it up to the next! “Keep it dirty off-road ” YouTube channel did a pretty good review/comparison on the eibachs and geisers. Worth giving it a watch

Yeah ive been following his channel since i got mine lol.

But it does sound like what im looking for. The shackles a 1” drop?

So with this droop what does that do/count for ?

 

[Gen1TillDeath]

Yeah his channel is really good IMO.

Yeah 1”You can get larger drop ones but if you go +3 deavers, that adds 1” of lift so to offset, you need a shackle.

I mean it does ALOT more than just more droop/articulation lol. Gets rid of alot of the axle wrap and wheel hop at high speeds and controlled turns. Just more of a progressive shock travel feel the whole downward stroke of the rear ended while soaking up more harshness terrain

Sweet. Now i cant wait till my work bonus comes. Oe 2.5s, geisers, +2 shackles, deavers +3 , probably some little stuff like bolts etc for the shocks.

Yeaaaa…Wifey may not like seeing that price tag LOL

Edit: craap what about bump stops are those gonna be necessary? Im already pushing the budget mark lol

I've always read that you should run hydraulic bumps with Deavers, but I think SDHQ makes a bump stop relocation bracket for them if you want to keep the cost down. I think you'll need extended brake lines to go with that extra droop too. Maybe even limit straps? Not too sure on that one.

Also, did you decide against the Mikra 3.0s? I think that's still my primary path if I get a reasonable bonus at the end of the year.

 

[Gen1TillDeath]

Yeah definitely need the SDHQ bump stop relocation plates. I’ve not heard limit straps being necessary though.

Ha forgot about the lines.

Yeah. In order to do this i had to go back the the oem shocks cause of cost.
