    for a 3" lift, we are considering fox, Icon and Elka

    for rust resistance in salt states, seems like from best to worst would be:

    Elka
    Icon
    Fox

    Any other suggestions or things to consider? I assume they all ride OK?

    Good question. Does anyone know how Dobinson's handle rust? Could change my mind about getting them if they're bad.

    Probably not Fox. Mine look like shit after a year and I hardly ever drive it in the winter.

    I had my Fox ceramic coated and the body still did its thing after a year. Great shocks, but I wish they made the shock body more durable to the elements.
