    Dude I know with a 2017 Mustang 5.0 with 70K miles is acting like he has a hooptie shitbox over a coolant leak at the water pump.

    Like “am I joke to you?” kind of deal in my 300K mile farm truck. I get it’s stressful though.

    When I replaced my duralast autozone arms I had put on by a shop (which promptly had bushing failure in 15K miles) I might’ve considered them. But like you said, the Solo MS are the better deal for stock length. Only benefit is a second shock mount over stock on the TC.

    Oh 100% I’ve seen second shock mounts welded on stock arms. Just pointing out their only benefit over stock.

    @Speedytech7
    @Kwikvette

    Hey guys (and anyone that knows suspension), looking for some input. Have an OME heavy kit installed currently on the GX and it is way more stiff than I'd like. Been looking to get something with a bit more flex as I'm currently getting next to zero flex. Took a ride on some washboard the other day and it was bone shattering. Currently setup with OME 2886/2896 front and rear.

    2886 - 15.8" @ 660lbs
    2896 - 15.2" @ +330lbs (unable to find rate)

    Went with the heavy kit due to front bumper with winch, sliders, RTT, rear bumper (with swingouts in future) and gear weight of 200+ lbs in cargo area. It's still stupid stiff when fully loaded with motorcycle carrier and 250lb motorcycle on back.

    Been looking at a semi budget setup with the Bilstein 6112 kit that is 14" @ 650lbs and getting a custom spring in rear (maybe Dobinsons c59-327 @ 220lbs-440lbs). If I get a similar spring rate as the OME, will the ride quality stay the same but at a reduced ride height?
