Alright, it’s "Can O’ Worm" time.
I’ve read with interest on this
forum that the general consensus is King springs and Koni or Bilstein shocks is the ducks guts in after market
suspension. But when reading about custom trucks in all the 4WD mags, hardly anyone uses these brands. It’s all OME, Rancho, Tough Dog, and other “glitzy” names. This got me thinking, what do the REAL off-roaders use as opposed to the weekend warriors and
rock crawling gladiators. Could those people that use their 4WD for business use, i.e. tour operators, miners and such give their opinion on why they use the
suspension they use and/or what
suspension they wouldn’t use from experience.

Hi Hatcher
Interesting that the mags always have the "glitzy" shocks, don't forget that many of the competition trucks are sponsored and they put on the shocks they are supplied with. By the way several competitors in the Outback Challenge use Koni's
How long do you want them to work.
Had Koni's on the Bronco for 12 years and 350000k's Tried OME on the Toyota and the Nissan, could only get 100000K's out of them, I have gone back to the Koni's on the Ute with the camper, much better ride for the money
