I appreciate the info. I'll probably stick with the 5100 or try the fox 2.0 performance series. I don't really want to spend a grand on remote reservoir shocks, when they're going on a $3-4,000 dollar rig.I don't know that I would consider an FOA emulsion "better" than an off the shelf bilstien 5100 (or equivalent).
if you're planning to tune them and actually get them to perform, you might as well step up to some remote reservoir shocks.
A set of air bumps on the front of a leaf sprung Yota will make trail bombing much more pleasant.
