I can sympathize, it was a very tough decision for me too!Juday wrote:I sent an email off to Aaron, at Thuren. Gave me the options of the Overland shocks, the Fox 2.0 w/ reservoir and the KINGs. He said the Fox 2.0 would work best with the Power Wagon's abilities. Problem for me is, they're $1,100....2wagons1driveway wrote:^x2 have you talked to don Thuren yet juday? He will steer u in the right direction and he's always open for questioning!

I just don't know, yet. Buying shocks is about as hard as buying tires for me. I'm going to research the hell out of them and eventually just say "F$*# it" and buy a set.
I think the three things making him recommend the Fox over the Overland shock is the piston diameter, fade resistance and 10" travel for our 3"+- lift as opposed to 9" travel or less for other generic shocks.
I say get the best you can afford and Thuren is the way to go. Definitely Thuren for sure when not doing the Baja thing. He does the Baja thing very well too I might add! You need to be sure you are honest with yourself about what you want to do with your truck. Then carefully communicate that with Don or Arron. I Think for what most folks do a properly tuned Fox 2.0 will do everything one could need, short of being a speed demon in the rough. Even then you sure can haul ass when compared to the crappy OEM Bilsteins. The overland shocks are a good choice too. Custom valving is a must on our trucks to control those heavy axles.
One can sure see the amount of control the Fox 2.0 with reservoirs provides.
PS: In the second video it looks like Don does Mud the way I do... Tiptoe or go around LOL!
