DR, Radflo or SAW coilovers?

Onebadasstitan · 03-16-2007, 12:54 PM

i am torn between Dr's, Radflo's or SAWS . I think it is time to change out my front and rear shocks on my 2004 titan. i don't which ones to get. I do some minor offroading mainly in the summer while varmint hunting and in the fall archery hunting. I plan on adding the 4" performance lift and was just asking for some input from owners of trucks with these shocks. Also which ones should i put on in the rear?

If you are getting the performance kit, get the SAW's...

I don't wnat/need the 4 inch lift, so I'm really confused now. The SAW's offer the best performance according to those I've talked to. The DR's are good, but the best bang for the buck are the Radflo's.

All are very good choices but I like the SAW best.

You can get RF's for the rear from Greg.

King will have a matched front and rear package very soon. I spoke with them a week or so about it, they showed me the new units. very nice. Radflo also has a replacement 2.5 that we will soon be carrying. So you will soon have multiple options for a 2.5" replacement coilover. DRE, King, Radflo, SAW. As for coilovers designed for the rasied application (drop bracket lifts, Radflo is the only current option) and as far as coilovers designed to maximze travel using an aftermarket UCA, SAW is the only current option.

Hey Greg, I have a question for you. Are the coilovers for our Titans stiffer than stock? Or are they smoother and soft?

Or if anyone can answer that would be great?

Thanks

aftermarket coilovers are generally of a higher spring rate thus stiffer, but every application of course is different.

sorry i have sort of forgot about this thread i have been busier than a one armed paper hanger! i am looking for the best ride on road and off and i plan on adding a 4-6" lift sometime down the road and want a shock that will fit these lifts. How long do these shocks generally last? thanks to all for your suggestions keep them coming. oh and by the way i am coming down with the mod bug!

kartman · 03-25-2007, 01:08 AM

Any coilover from PRG will be a vast improvement on and off road. They are fully rebuildable so they will basically last forever with a rebuild every 1-10 years depending on how hard you use them.

clifhanger · 03-26-2007, 07:24 PM

would any coilover be better than stock or only one from prg
