Rear Shock Comparison

[jblc]

Exactly why I gave them a shot,really glad I did too.
I did buy them through amazon incase I was not happy with them,so I could return them if need be.
But really pleased with them.

Thanks for your information, this is helpful.
Which version did you try? 1.5-3.5, or 4-6"
I'm assuming the 1.5-3.5 is the default that people would get...

I haven't been in a Ranger with a set of Eibachs on it as of yet, so keep in mind, this opinion is mostly based off my experiences with the F150s with a few Toyotas thrown in:

Softest to firmest from what I have experience in:

• Rancho RS5000
• Rancho RS9000XL
• Bilstein 5100 <- These are essentially tied.
• Eibach Pro-Truck <- These are essentially tied.
• Falcon Sport
• Fox 2.0
• Icon 2.0
• Elka 2.5
• Fox 2.5
• King 2.5
• ICON 2.5

I haven't had the opportunity to try out the Eibach 2.0 coilovers, the Elka 2.0s, or the Elka IFP 2.5s yet, nor any of Rough Country's offerings. Anyone with some experience with those options, please feel free to chime in.

Also keep in mind that the difference in overall stiffness between the Fox 2.0s and the Bilstein/Eibachs isn't huge (same goes for the difference between the Elka, Fox, and King 2.5s), and the Fox 2.0s ride extremely well on the street.

Hi Jason,

I have purchased many products from stage3 but I heard there was a special forum discount code? May I be PM'D that code by chance, looking to get some rear shocks through you guys? I appreciate the info nonetheless and no worries if the code is no longer available, your help/knowledge alone here is worth tons.

Warm regards,
Brandon

I also went with RC N3s in the back only - much better than the FX4 stock. And Affordable!
Eventually, if I still have the truck I will go with Bilstein front and rear

Bilstein recommended the 4600 for 0 lift, so I just installed a set of rears on my Lariat FX4 and am REALLY happy with the ride quality. Just my opinion.
