Just curious, as about 10-15 years ago, there was a big to-do about using nitrided steel rods vs induction chrome rods. Icon, SAW, Radflo all jumped on Nitrided shafting. Even Fox was using it for a bit.
They are sold by each. I'm not sure why they use the "kit" terminology there.
It's something you might want to consider. The stock shocks have boots to protect the shaft/seal as shown below.
Yeah that's not something we will be doing.It's something you might want to consider. The stock shocks have boots to protect the shaft/seal as shown below.
Thank you. Your web guru may want to edit it to be clear. ~$500/pair is reasonable, $1000/pair not so much because these will get destroyed after two winters in the northeast. Not for me, but looks like a great solution!
I was wondering the same thing, and was hoping it was 500/pair. How the heck much is the next stage up that doesn't reuse factory coils, front and rear? 3-4k? Also trying to figure out how these adjust.
We all wish stuff was cheaper than it is. I'd love to have $2 gas again.
It was a serious question, but I looked at the pricing breakdown for Stage 3 just now. So, figure $4357 minus $892 for the tube UCA alone, and it's like $3465 for the full set of Stage 3 front and rear shocks, which is right in the middle of my 3-4k guess. So $2100 for a full set of EXP is a bargain in comparison.
Whoa. Well that settles it for me. No disrespect, Iām sure there great but $500+ per shock alone just doesnāt make sense to meā¦IMHO. I almost went to order so glad I found this out.
No disrespect taken, these aren't for everyone. I thought I already went to great lengths to explain that in this thread LOL.
Probably an easier way to compare it is that our most basic coilover shock for Bronco (no reservoir) is priced at $1679.95 for the front pair or $1784.95 for the rear pair. EXP shocks are $524.95 each or $1,049.90 per pair. The EXP shocks are either 37.5% or $41.2% less than our base coilovers, depending on front or rear.
I had vowed to someone else to get that information today but I don't think I'll have it in time. I'll add it to this thread when I get it. I do know that the grooves are equally spaced.
Yes, as I've said, it's unfortunate that they chose to use the word "kit" in the product listing. I registered my objection to that wording even before you guys complained about it LOL. I think they're in the process of changing it.
Excellent. Still considering even with the now understood pricing model.
Let us know about those adjustment increments. Iām wondering if you can set the front a notch higher and level the Bronco (or get close, I donāt want a Cali Lean or Carolina Squat situation) and lift it some with this set up.
As others have noted, and Iām sure is not your fault, the terminology on the website as a kit and front and rear labeled on the description would lead most people to think itās a pair but thanks for the clarification abs the other details in the thread.
I'm hoping to lift the front but still less than the rear and not level, so 35s will clear and I'll still have rake for towing, and I don't want to use spacers or spend crazy money. These might just be the ticket.Excellent. Still considering even with the now understood pricing model.
I think this is the right call. I'm not a fan of dirt traps.
