My 57 weighs 4300lbs w/driver and I am looking for a shock that will work better than what I have. I am using a 5 leaf, 2" drop spring and KYB gas shocks. What I don't like is the rebound travel is way too high. It really bounces up on a heavy bump. It my be the wrong shock for the application so I would appreciate any input. I have a double eyelet setup. Thanks, Kurt
Following. Do you have excel-g or gas-a-just? I have the KYB excel-g on the front of mine. And thinking of going to the KYB mono tube gas-a-just for similar reasons to what you describe.
Had Monroe sensatracs on the front before and one failed almost immediately.
qa1 coil over in front 5 leaf in the rear don't have the part numbers handy and I have a custom shock bar. so my part number might not work for you. call Viking they are real easy o work with over the phone.
Touch base with our sponsor, RideTech. They would likely have what would make your felt ride response from overactive rear suspension jounce feel much better.
Thanks for the responses everyone. I'll be doing some research tonight!👍🏻🍻
