Rear Shocks - What are you using?

chopndroptx · 03-04-2010, 04:09 PM

Just want to see what most people are running on the back of the Yammis

Please list the following:

Model: G22
Lift Size: 6" Long travel
Back Seats: No
Haul Trailers: Yes
Type of shocks/springs: HD Jakes red springs
Rubbing Issues: No
Ride stiff or soft: Stiff (I ride alone alot!)

If you have something aftermarket please try to list where you got them and how much they where for others.

I see alot of questions about coil overs and HD springs, maybe this will help some people more.

Model G1
Lift; 9.25" home made
Air shocks in rear.
Haul trailer. yes with boat on it.
23"x10-10
air shock pressure held in check for ride & stiffness by piano wire so there lift is limited.

Thanks for all the replies! Keep em coming everyone!

I might have to try out the air shocks one day. I have a set off my Nissan that would probably work. I like the piano wire idea too!

What kind of air shocks are you guys using? Brand and part number. I'm currently working on my Geep1 suspension.

Good thread chop! Thanks!
