With such a cost savings of air shocks over coilover, are they worth it. Is any one running them. My new buggy is going coilover front/rear; front 8 or 10" and 14" rear. I don't want to be the trial and error guy! |

The only reason to go with airshocks over coilovers is to save money. A proper set of coilovers will always outperform airshocks and have fewer issues overall. |

Why not just keep your buggy light, and stock torsion bars w/ KYBs and 2x3's and front leafs w/ cheap lifetime A/Z shocks and 1x2's will work perfect . Might have to reset bars a couple times, but once they are right.... Smooth as a Caddy for trails and bite like hell for climbing. Save the money from them high dollar shocks for fuel to go riding!

I plan on running air shocks on the front of my woods buggy... I'm not to sure about the set up issues yet, but i know that plenty of people do it, so it can't be that hard. I have been running coil-overs for 4 or 5 years now (4 in the woods) and think that they are better than air shocks, but normal woods riding, you will never see the potential of them. Air shocks, imo, would be the way to go. |
