Rear shock suggestions for Al-Can Hwy

[Andrew Homan]

Leaving for Alaska soon and will be taking the disco behind the RV. I have a 3" RTE lift plus a 1" spacer in the rear and 33" tires. My rear OME shocks suck. They are way to soft and have been abused.

I will be carrying all my kit and a small freezer to bring back fish in so there will be some weight back there. I also plan to scrap the Toyo tires that have started wearing funny and vibrate the shit out of the truck. Going BFG KM2s I think.

OK boys let the suggestions fly!

I love the OME Heavy duty springs myself.

The first set I had on with the 2" lift were great. These, not so much.

Try Bilstein, or call EE for their advice on OME shock valving.

If you're towing the disco behind the RV, why do you care what the rides like? Won't you be sitting in the RV?

Can anyone confirm this, I was told by a Canadian Landrover owner that Terra firma uses cheap oil and in the cold, below freezing it goes solid and slows through the valving, Your landrover feels like a unsprung nightmare rattling everything inside. I have used the OME old style twin tube and the ride was good for 4 years but now have to decide between the new hybrid OME or the Terra Firma if someone who has used them in cold climates will chime in :victory:
