air shocks on a DD

[Lucky Jeff]

simple enough.. good or bad idea? I've never been in a rig with them. So I have no idea how they act. On or offroad.

 

[Jason C]

bad idea.

 

[Lucky Jeff]

that's all I needed to know. Thanks Jason :redneck:

 

[darius]

bad idea.

Please explain.



























































yeah, Really bad idea

 

[cameron_garrison]

why?

 

[Nuzzy]

All the cycling heats them up and makes them behave differently/badly

Then why do some baja guys run them?

 

[angelfly]

Good question if they are meant for rigors of baja then why cant they handle a sissy pavement pounder??????

I'm not be a **** here this seriously perplexes me:wtf:

They run Toyotas and VW's too...people are always using the wrong tools to get the job done.

I am sure the baja one's would be a bit better quality than the 2" cheapies

Are they using them as just shocks or as the springs as well?

 

[Alpine4x4]

ON baja they usually run a coilover setup and then an air shock on top of it to help with dampening. It ends up being a 2-3 shock setup. I dont know if ive ever seen a 100% airshock setup baja rig.

 

[Alpine4x4]

Notice the coilver and (i thinkthose are air shocks) airshock setup. Even if those arent air shocks thats how ive always sen em setup.

Yeah, those shock's are far from an air shock, that's a bypass shock, I hope all this time you havent been preaching about desert guy's running nitrogen struts thinking their bypass shock's are that.

Don't know what 2" cheapies your talking about... The small (6inch) ones we run, with a 50% sponsorship still ran us $180 each...

He's talking about the same cheapies that every rock buggy in the world have on them, Not sure exactly on price, but they are about $250 a corner

Thanks Darius,

I'm still a little lost, as to which manufacturers fit in the "cheapies" catagory, and sorry for trying to learn something... Let me just bow down to your almight god likness, and follow you with no questions:looser:

I usually just follow Darius around and sniff his butt a lot. It's a pretty easy life.
