That's the reason I went with Cepek, tested and proven, the owner aslo took the time to talk to me , as I say, unlike the so called fabricators that are around me.
Let me know if you ever want to check them out, seems that we are not too far apart.
I'm located in Taylor, we also spend time in St-Helens at the family cottage.
I have the setting at the lowest, seems fine for city driving, I do have the controller, so I can adjust on the fly.
I do have to play with the adjustments, last time we where in St-Helens, I hit the trail pretty hard...
The install is complete, I will call this one a success, the ride is amazing, so nice to be able to adjust as you are driving .
I only had one concern, like I stated before, the kit came with 60' of tubing, after talking with Tom Cepek, he commented that another Humvee owner had the same issue...
Got more done tonight, all of the wiring is done. Both rear shocks are installed and plumbed in as well as the LF shock, the only problem is that I'm short of the brake tubing, followed the guidelines, min 8ft for the rear and min 6ft from the compressor to the valves and you have to have some...
Yes you are correct, but I like to look at all options
Also, my luck with so called fabricators, specially in Michigan have not been good. Just venting here
I'm not complicated and have disposable income to buy crap
I e-mailed, a Mountain XXXXXX in Belleville MI and never heard back
A while ago...
The decision has been made, (no haters please) Cepek GT shocks and controler are on the way.
I spoke with Tom and decided to go ahead with his product, this should be fun
Once installed I will provide pictures and a review
As usual, to be continued....
Well the piggy is not full of $$$
As the saying goes, there's just so much lipstick that you can put on a pig, at the end it's still a pig.
So, no matter how much cash I put on the Humvee, it will still be a Humvee
Considering the options availabe fo a better suspension, the options availble...
Yes and as usual I can see the $$$ flying away
Just had a 20 min talk with Tom of GT, so I will mull on it a few days, you are probably right, they seem to be the right options to go with the new coils
And to add to the issue, I also need a new hub portal for the rear....
TBC.....
Looked up the Cepek shocks, they do bolt on directly, Iand you can adjust them manualy, the other options is to get a controoler to adjust them on the fly.
Moe decisions....
Nice, but I can get gas shocks that will bolt in place for the same price, the cepek one will have to be bolted on the outside of the coils, unless I'm reading it wrong ?
But I also like to look at all options, with a bit of tinkering, you could bolt on something that is more budget friendly for...
I don't know if this helps or not, but you can get the lighter load coils, such as the 954lbs rate, specialy if you are not loaded.

Found this place where you can look up by travel, collapse and extended length, I do like the ride better than ever, but a average shock would do the trick.
If the fabricator declines my request, I will probably do it myself like, find some 1/2 ton truck shocks and fabricate the mounting
Wish I...
After playing with tire pressure and different road test, I found out that the coils make a difference, but not at $1,200.00 one.
So this is where I am, I remembered seeing an old car on the road with dead shocks and how the car was bouncing up and down, then it hit me, that's kind of what I...
