Best riding rear shock with progressive AAL?

How do you take care of yours? I am thinking about doing the same setup

 

Which brand did you have?

 

I'm in the exact same boat. If I'm going to rip up the back end I might as well do it right. The difference seems to be around 400...

Tax time present....?

 

Thanks for reply. Seems so far that the progressive leaf pack addition is better than the single. And the full pack is well... just smarter. Did you run extended brake line s?

 

I liked the 5160s for ride qaulity but if I did get then again I would seal them with something..permanent.
The problem was not just cosmetic but the actual joint at where the reservoir tubing and the joint elbow. It started to build up alot of corrosion and road debris. It eventually blew but I cant say it was from that for sure- but seemed liked a weak point in the design.

 

Ugh.. this forum is like a cancer to my bank account.

 

Some can FU#$k cancer. You cant beat TW.

 

I tried leaving the forum (was trying to save money) lasted about a month and more than made up for my time gone gotta love it though lol. Best forum I’ve ever been a part of!

 

You have my attention sir.

I have the same set-up. 2nd Gen Pro Bilstein kit with 3leaf AAL and I find all of it to be more firm on the road than I'd prefer. Adding full skids helped some up front, but long term I see myself going to Kings/Fox with a full leaf pack replacement. The RXT are high on that list. I may have to hit you up for more info via PM.

 

I have the 2.0 fox with the reservoir and the RXT pack and I don't have any complaints about the ride quality and more importantly neither does my wife.

 

A lot of you seem to have RXT, now im debating between RXT and Dakar Leaf packs

 

Older I get the more I realize the cliche of happy wife is true. Lol

Didnt know about the specs of RXT until now. Like the versatility but comes at a price VS the OME.

 

Picked up a icon rxt pack a few days ago and installing tomorrow. I have Fox 2.5 dcs with adjusters standard length. My question is would it be safe to go with option two with my setup or am I going to top out the shocks and need extended brake lines?

 

I think it depends on how much weight you have in the back regularly. If not running extra weight may not want to lift it too much w/o swapping those brake lines.
