Shock options for Lifted FX4 ?

[Nw_adventure]

So it's been almost a year now with the H/R lift springs- They did a great job at getting the truck up to an acceptable height for off-road adventures and such but the ride is starting to suffer. Assuming it's do to the extra travel that the OEM shock now has to deal with- Curious what ride improvement options are available ?

Definitely handles like a "truck" nowadays but sometimes it's got a little too much rebound and such after going thru potholes/etc.

Thx-

Contact the guy who put coil overs on his Tremor Baja build over the weekend. He is in so cal but would probably ship for a member. The Tremor shocks have an internal bump stop and presumably provisions for 0.8 inches of lift built in.

If it I didn't word it clearly he offered up his take-off set to the forum.

I haven't seen anything available that's not OEM. More worrying than that for those of us who were hoping for those options is I don't see anything for the Bronco Sport either, and that is much more likely to be offroaded in my opinion.

Yeah I had wondered how the tremor shocks would work on a slightly different suspension set up.

I've seen he compression and rebound curves in both. They are a improved shock that should have slightly more travel to better match your springs. They also have a extra valving inside that creates a internal bumpstop. If you do try them out take side by side pictures and measurements of the shocks themselves when you do.
