    Elka includes an internal rebound coil to prevent against the harsh full extension top out when fully drooped. The Elka shocks have full aluminum shock bodies which is great for those in environments that are prone to rust. Elka thus far has provided us and our customers with amazing customer service. And these shocks were truly valved for the vehicle, we had the pleasure of meeting their engineer who worked on this and the amount of effort put towards the valving was quite impressive. We wouldn't like to say one brand is better than another, but Elka is great product for sure and I am happy to have it on my truck.

    What is said above ^

    Plus my fox 2.0 with 600lbs were toasted so it was imminent upgrade as I also needed 700lbs coil for all the weight upfront.

    I bought my Elka's during the @HeadStrong Off-Road group buy as well.
    So far it's been a night and day difference over the stock 3rd Gen Offroad suspension. HeadStrong custom ordered mine for the specs I wanted, and Elka built them to that spec.
    I'm VERY happy with them!

    Cheers

    Do you happen to know what springs you have?
    C12.5X330 perhaps? I'd really like to know if you get a chance.
    Thanks

    Cheers
