Suspension Question

PRJ · 09-13-2006, 08:14 PM

What reasonbly priced shock upgrades are available for the front and rear of the Titan?

I am not a hard core off roader, but do spend some time back in the woods on old logging roads when going on my hunting and fishing adventures.

Bilsteins in the back if you're stock. Front, I don't know of any inexpensive ones. Someone else will come along and give more options too. That's the good thing about the forum.

Yes, my truck is stock.

Just looking for something a little better than the ranchos to smooth out the bumps on the back roads.

Donahoes or PRG's new Radflo 2.0 front coilovers. No experience with the newer entry-level Radflos, but the DR's are an awesome upgrade for the front suspension. There's also the new Sway-A-Ways that PRG's selling. They're not cheap (cost ~$1000) but it's a worthwhile investment that will keep you happy for as long as you keep them.

Talked to Greg today and he said they were doing some testing on the Radflos coilovers and should be ready to go in the next week or two.I think he also said the Danohoes seemed to be better for the rear.Dont quote me because I was at work when I was trying to talk to him and was alittle busy and had to cut it short.

For the rear Bilsteins, DR or Radflo 2.0s from PRG. OR 2.5 Radflo if you wanna be a big pimp.

For the front. 2.0 Radflo, DR or SAW. The SAWs perform and ride better than DRs but require a chaos arm.

How much $$$ for this stuff.

Anything around $1000 is a little too pricey for me at this point.

I think Greg told me the Radflo coilovers would be 750$,does anybody know if this price is acurate,I might be mistaken and can you level the front with these like with the DRs.I also plan on going with the DRs on the rear,will this raise the rear.I hope not.

the rear shocks are independent of the leaf springs. adding them will not affect height. only adding Deaver springs or blocks and lowering shackles will change the height.

Yeah, i'm sure thats accurate. The 750 he quoted you is for Radflo's entry level coilover. Its a new product he carries, so i don't know any other info.

The DR coilovers where alittle more than what I was willing pay but I think I have talked myself into the Radflos.I feel like I can subtract the price of what the leveling kit which I was going to do anyway from the price of the Radflos which makes it seem alittle more reasonable.
