Question Spring/Shock Recommendations...

I've been running with the Proformance springs/bilstein shock combo for a couple of years now along with the BFG 265/75's. I have roughly 40K on the shocks...

My tires are about done so I'm thinking about changing out the springs/shocks for a bit more lift (not much, honestly I'm happy with the 1.5 lift of the current setup). But, if I'm missing something, what would people recommend?

I'm not off road a ton, but I do hit the trails in the summer and we're looking at hitting some of the trails in Jasper National Park this summer.

Thoughts???

Thanks!!!

might want to do a search, shocks have been talked about a ton on here. A lot of people go with Bilsteins. I personally am putting on some KYB monomaxs this week sometime.

Depends on if you like the ride or not. I will probably be doing Bilstein with TRD front springs and OME906 rear springs. Have you enjoyed the Bilstein's for as long as you have had them?

I've actually been really happy with the Bilsein's. The ride got a bit stiffer, but I like that...especially with the curves around here. I really can't complain offroad either.

I'm just looking at the possibility of a new set up given that new tires are in the future.

I think there were no responses because you seem to have a great setup. To switch to anything else would be more of an offroad setup like the sonoran steel, coilover lifts. If you like your ride you might want to look into a small spacer for the front and rear to bump it up a bit. The coils used by perf prod are actually top notch.
