    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    If you look at the previous message, you will see that I added the Cepek shocks, the ride is really nice and amazing in the trails.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    No sponsors for me. Just want a nice ride. There is a cost associated with anything. Yes about the $$$ but if it works, then the $$$ is not an issue
  14. LouWon

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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.....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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. Part Number Type GVWR Application Rate lbs/in Tie Color Wire Dia Free Height 12338316 1B2 Standard Front 10,300 2door W/O winch or plow 954...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    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...

    I got the Black Rhino Arsenal 20 X 12 with the -44 offset, Nitto's Ridge Grappler 38 X 13.5, they have the beads for balancing, nice and smooth ride.
