Post subject:  could it be my shocks
I am trying to figure out why the ride quality in my jimny is so "harsh".
it has a 50mm dobsions lift kit with gas shocks. the coils feel quite soft and the Jim flexes well but it stiff as on the road..

I have been told that gas shocks are not the go?

Lifted spring's are h/d ( anything is to the stock's) but with the dobsions in the rear of the Gv it rode like a bobcat.
Even the lovell's were a better ride & most think they are to stiff.....

King make a wide range of spring's, but may be cheaper to swap shock for a start...

Could you go to super cheap and grab a couple cheap Gabriels and see if that changes snything?

oh i know that they will be stiffer than stock but this is well beyond a joke...
i am pretty sure its in the shocks, the truck still flex's well they just feel like the bound/rebould is far to heavy for this size car.

OME springs and shocks = VERY soft
OME springs and TD gas shocks = Very Firm

I have found it doesn't always come down to the springs :wink: gas shocks are shit in the back of a lifted jimny, where as oil filled shocks are much better.... :?
