Shock poll

For Xmas I got the 884 med front OME springs(I already have the adjustable 5100 Bilsteins) and the Toytec custom rear springs. I am looking for a well performing rear shock. I want a monotube because I believe the technology is far superior to twin tube but I don't need a reservior. So the ones I have in mind are the Donahoe Racing or the Pro Comp mx6 for the 6" lift. I'm not sure if the mx6 will be too long or not. I like the thought of having adjustable shocks but its not a necessity.

So if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it or even a description of your setup and how you like the ride.

Nate

Re: Shock poll

Love my Donahoes, had them in many different types of terrain, fast and slow they are holding up well.

Donahoe's rear is a twin tube shock. So you are left with King, SAW, WE, Fox or a billy 7100. Rummer has it that DR will be making a monotube/emulsion shock for the rear in the future. Fingers crossed.

Re: Shock poll

Depending on the space available, a monotube with an IFP (internal floating piston) may be possible.

Donahoes ARE monotube shocks, they just aren't rebuildable like the SAW, King, Fox and Bilstein. Radflo's are good shocks too

Re: Shock poll

I looked at the radflo website but was unable to find much information. Is there currently a product that will fit the 2" lifted fj?
