I like bilstein for general replacement type shocks.
I'd be interested in what Bilstein PNs you have used to start with and at what lift height.

It's actually sort of fun, but within just one day of driving, I noticed a big difference in maintaining traction on corners with ANY bumps. The wheel would just bounce into the air over and over.
Guess I'm making 2 perches.....
Double holy smoke Kimosabe!!! Not just hardcore... that's NUCLEAR RUST. Now you get what I meant by "Boing!" in my previous post.
Suggestion: Why not fab up a crossmember with integral shock mounts. It might be simpler... some mounting plates, a gusset there, a gusset there,.. just thinking.
Steel Toy: thanks for sharing that tech section. I see your points too.. depends on the application/use/typical conditions.
