Out with FX4, in with 5100

[SigOris]

This will be a mod for me at some point, at least the rears as the bounciness on bumpy turns makes me feel like a bobble head in an earthquake a Ranger! =D

I try to dodge potholes when I can.
But I know in some places you're required to choose between the severity of potholes you have to drive over.

So do I. My wife makes absolutely no effort to avoid potholes or manholes. And they're usually on my side!

Those will be fine, but if you are keeping stock ride height, I would save a few dollars and go with the 4600 series.

Well gee thanks Ranger5G! =p

I just parted with some more $$$ and ordered, from Shock Surplus, the Bilstein 4600's for Soupie's rear end! Now my "too-high-design-flaw" rake won't bounce out goodies bound for the dump. =D

This is an actual photo of Soupie and I'm hoping for less bounce soon! =)

So, for the millionth time on this poor forum, I'm gonna ask about shocks ...

I have a 2WD XL and suffer the bounciness everyone else has from the rear end. I don't do off-road, it's all paved driving (except for when I access the city's secret dump spot for construction materials, all of a 100 yard nicely graveled road).

Turning out of a parking lot I'm turned into a human bobblehead. =D

So would these be good rear shocks for a pavement pounding Ranger?

I don't mind going more expensive if it's a better ride. These are $206 which seems reasonable but another hundred or so won't kill me (but it could affect @AzScorpion's graphene sales). =p

or 4600's if you are not adding any height to the rear. Best bang for your buck!

I remember a while back with the Frontier that I had. I should specify Frontier's. The first was a base model. The second was a Desert Runner. The Desert Runner and Pro4-X came with Bilstein 5100's from the factory. I could tell the difference and it was nice!!

Awesome to hear, thanks! I should get them by Monday night! =)
