Got the bug to upgrade the suspension. A bit perplexed by the options available, so seeking some opinions. At least 80% of my driving is on two lane tarmac. But we live near Anza Borrego / Ocotillo Wells and enjoy wheeling around out there. The other consideration is that we tow a 5500 lb trailer from time to time and I have concerns about safety.
My current thinking is to go with a front steering stabilizer, 285/75/17 BFG's and at least a 1.7" lift on Eibach springs, or maybe 2.5" if I can live with the added risk of wear and tear to the front driveshaft. And then of course a shock upgrade. Finally, maybe the Metalcloak suspension upgrade kit.
My first question is what benefits (and issues) can be assumed with the installation of the full Metalcloak upgrade kit?
Next, assuming cost is not an issue, how would an oleo-pnuematic shock option from Nimbus compare with a piggy back option from either King or Fox?
