    How would ORI's be for high speed stuff? Like if I swapped out my 5100's for ORI's in the mean time until I can go LT.

    Thout about that too. Especially since you can fit a 8" in stock buckets. Yu can fit 10" ones.

    Idk enough about them really but I wouldn't think they would be valved right maybe. Or how they would handle the heat, their resi's are weird and small. And I know you could revalve them yourself like other normal CO.

    I wouldn't want to be the first I guess to try it.

    Yeah... they are pretty much the same price as non-resi Icon C/O's but I won't have to worry about coil spring rates and preload and such, so that would be a big perk!

    true. But like i said..idk how you change the valving and thats whats more important.

    for LT you'll want an 18'' coil anyways for a 8" CO to reduce preload.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    They would work well for you mine handle speed very well. Granted I'm not doing 90mph in the whoops but 50-60mph on some rough fire roads that people normally do 5 to 10mph they did very well and I'm sure IFS would do even better.

    I'm not looking forward to the rivets got a plasma, air chisel, grinder, right drill and trying to track down a torch. Today is just getting them painted and tracking stuff down.

    I'm looking forward to trying them out, should be just what I'm looking for to stay IFS a while longer. It will be good to get familiar with them now as I plan to use them in the future as well.

    Got the ATO shackle hangers primed, pulled the rear bumper and removed all the upper rivets then picked up my plasma cutter from a buddy that has been using it to build bumpers for his FJ 40. Tomorrow I plan to finish painting and take care of the lower rivets. Hopefully I'll be flexing by the afternoon....

    Rivets suck, but it's all back together.

    My old hanger on the passenger side along with my frame had a nasty bend to it that I had to straighten out.

    [​IMG]

    I set the new hangers up in the neutral/center holes on the upper and lower, this is the angle with no rear bumper.

    No telling, Cliffhanger maybe :D seems like I'm under the truck enough that I would have noticed it since Moab though. I think it may have happened during one of the last 2 trips to Boulder City.
