All T/shocks being sent to Mexico - Why would that be ?
Because they literally just started producing em in quantity before the end of the year. There was a prototype batch for the test units, then an initial run for the very first 2023 models sent there in the fall I think, only recently did they get more shipments. My assumption is that they wont be available for replacement purchase till sometime later this year. I think it would be badass as a factory upgrade if fitment is the same. Given the production capacity vs the ordered capacity of Tremors there should be alot of extra units by years end. Although we dont know what dealerships are ordering for their stock allocations. There could also be dealers trying to get their hands on the shocks and springs for in house lift kits, that are so popular for upsells.
Sucks for anyone to get into an accident in their first year of ownership of a special model of a brand new vehicle. How many on here are waiting for tailgates and bumpers and such still?
I would think standard is standard, FX4=rough terrain, and the Tremor=performance.
I think the Tremor shocks would like to meet my H&R lift springs
That would be interesting, wonder how the H&R spring rate compares to the Tremor rate.I think the Tremor shocks would like to meet my H&R lift springs
Maybe once we know more about the springs, I can find some shareable shock data.
H&R springs after install were pretty close to stock FX4 ride- Now noticing a bit more grunt thru potholes/bumps etc-
Speculation: Tremor springs are softer while it's shocks are stiffer. That may end up being a rough ride.
Atleast as far as the front is concerned the stiffness could be attributed to being squeezed in the factory strut length?
In Nw_adventure's case almost certainly. Assembled strut (shock) length is a set length regardless of the spring length you cram into it. Can't get much lift with springs alone in the front. Gotta use spacers etc or a longer strut.
