    I have walker evans coils , camburg UCAs, and a deaver 11 pack leaf. What would be the best rear suspension for a smoothe street ride. i know everyone loves billies but what about OME. and for the price i'm considering fox for less then 400 shipped but any suggestions are always great

    If you can get a good deal, go for icon resi shocks. Very smooth.

    I'm investigating the fox shocks that All Pro is selling. A little steep but they've got my eye.

    im using the fj specific fox shocks re-valved 30/70. you can order 'em that spec for like 380 shipped from ORW or probably down south motorsports. i need to radius the mount slightly for peace of mind, but they do fit fine.

    I'll be pulling the trigger on/around March 4th. Gotta make 100% sure that my promotion goes through at work before I can "justify" the purchase. :D

    That's what I thought too, but it's actually pretty legit seeing the bring yellow underthere. Also that's nothing a lil DIY black raddle can't fix
