Has anyone experienced SACHS-BOGE shocks together with Tough Dog springs on LRD?! any comments?!??

I'm about to get a new setup, and the dilemma is taking a whole set of Tough Dog or combining the TD springs with Sachs shocks, a combination that can save me a buck or two (A TD shock will cost me twice as much as a Sachs piece!!!)

Thanks, Nir.

Hi Nir
What are you trying achieve with your truck?
More ground clearance or better road manners, these should determine what way to go.

Hi Pete,
I'll go for the first option, of course.
yet as far as I see things - ground clearance will be achieved anyway, since i'm gonna use the TD springs in both setups. regarding road manners - that'll be effected by my choice eventually - TD shocks or Sachs...
i know Sachs equips B.M.W, VW and Audi with their shocks - still i've never heard of 2+ tons offroad LRD that is equipped with these shocks...

that's why i'm looking forward to get inputs from someone who has experienced these shocks on his offroader...

Hi Nir
I am running 2" OME HD springs and shocks all round, and seems to be the most popular set up.
I have 235/85 R16 MTR`s and this gets me to the bottom of the ruts without killing my diff.
I have never heard of TD springs!
best of luck.
