Another suspension question..

[Wu tang]

Hello,

Here is another suspension question. I feel that the ride height is perfect for me However, I do dirt trails and some moderate trails as well with my cab over camper (1600 WET). I don't really want to lift the rear I would just like a better shock for the rear. What would be the best shock option to go with with stock height?

I know some power wagon's are install a rear carli spring which I believe will raise the truck and I could install a Thuren rear IFP shock.

Thanks you

2020 power wagon
FRONT:Thuren 1/2" springs and fox 2.0 from Thuren.
REAR: Stock besides the air bags.
Thuren rear track bar.
35" tires.

Bag it. Will increase stability, but not load carrying capacity; way better than a shock upgrade. Personally, I'd leave the OE springs on. If you do a Carli or Thuren spring then your going to have a major Carolina squat with the slide-in in bed.

I'm pretty sure you have exceeded your max payload rating with 1600 lbs slide-in anyway. So you're already at risk.

I see you have fox 2.0's up front. You can match them on the rear and go with Fox 2.0's. It would be a little better than the stock shocks. Now you mentioned the word "best", if you truly want best then we can discuss 2.5 shocks but that is a big cost difference from 2.0's but is a huge improvement over stock and any 2.0.

Message me if you would like a quote on anything.

Yes it’s already bagged. Surprisingly with NO air, the truck doesn’t squat. I also have a Roof top tent that I put on as well. I use that often for those wheeling days.

Hello! I have pretty much the same setup. Front Thuren springs, airbags in rear, track bar front and rear running 35's. I just put a set of Icon 2.5 remote reservoirs on the rear. Had them (not the same ones obviously) in my last truck and absolutely loved them. I plan on hitting up Death Valley this weekend. Let you know how they preform

I still haven’t upgraded the rear springs yet, overall the truck is doing great!
