Replacing shocks

[Meatman8769]

I'm replacing the rear shock absorbers on my 19' warlock. Are the original coils compatible with either a fox or bilstein absorber?

Coils support the weight, shocks dampen the cycling of the suspension. Your coils are fine.

ill just leave this here haha

TufTruck 1210 vs 1223V

Has anyone tried both springs? Which one is softer? Looking for a cushier ride than the 1211 springs currently installed. I sold the camping trailer that had a lot of tongue weight, especially with the forward water tank full. I never wanted to deal with a WDH hitch so I put in the 1211 springs...

Can I have your Shocks when you take them off, if you haven't trashed them already? Here's why - I replaced my rear shocks with some KYB's that were supposed to be great but ever since I've had that body roll thing everybody is complaining about. I'd love to go back to stock. If I knew what brand and model number they were I would buy some.

I'm going with some Bil's 4600 when the time comes. I heard nothing but great things about them.

Best regards,

Yes. The warlock is around 1” taller? The fox, icon, and bilstein shocks will work for around 1” lift. That’s also a great upgrade. Just swapped in the fox 2.0 stock replacement rear from @Nick@GotExhaust and I’ve been extremely happy. They work for a 1” lift which is what I have on my truck. The fox are slightly stiffer than my bilstein 5100 are but feel like they have softened up a little since install. Highway driving feels great with both. Just depends on what’s in stock that you can get your hands on too

My current truck still has the stock shocks but I put a set of KYB Mono Max on my last truck ('14 Ram) and I loved them.
