Elka level 1 w/AAL vs OME w/Leaf

Any updates on your guys Elkas?

 

Love um. Only problem is now they are making a squeeking sound. I think some dirt is caught between the coil and the top or bottom mount. I guess when u off road, that's bound to happen lol.

I'll clean them out later and shoot some dry lube. Should help

 

Good to hear. I’m really Leaning towards getting them to replace my 5100

 

If you off road with them, it's a night and day difference that's for sure. If not, they still look cooler than the 5100s but are they worth the money? That's for you to decide

 

I go off roading close to once a week. The 5100 were a good upgrade from stock but I’m looking for a more smooth ride off road forsure.

 

Nice! Ya most of the off roading I do is slow, lava rock roads to fishing spots. Even that felt better. I got them originally cus I wanted something other than kings, icon, or fox. Now I will say I love them and am happy I got them

 

I just received my Elka shocks after 4 months of waiting. I’ll be putting them on this week, hopefully.

 

Awesome. I was also looking at the 2.5 res. They’re a really nice looking shock.

 

My Elka's were squeaking as well. Turned out to be the lower shock mount.
I bought some Tri flow pfte (teflon) lube, and treated the mount while on the truck.
No more squeak!

Cheers

 

yessah! thanks for the tip. ill look into that
