Shock choices - swing axle baja
Hi peeps
I'm trying to find some shocks for my baja. What's everyone else using? I was told to use bay kombi front shocks all round, but they don't seem
long enuff.....I have a fair amount of lift, and wouldn't have a clue what would fit, but at the same time work properly - they are a light car after
all, and shockies out of a heavier vehicle obviously wouldn't be as good
Anyone have any for sale?
If anyone can shed some light on this I would be very appreciative. :thumb
Cheers
Dave

Good to see I'm not the only one! :P
I also got told that torana shocks fit, but as they're designed to carry the weight of a big V8, they're not very effective.....
Will let you know if I find something out tho! :thumb

You might have a higher ride height, but if all else is stock, you will have no more actual travel so std length shocks will do the job.
I have some assorted gas shocks for sale if it's any help: U2U me if interested

Unless you are planning on racing it, a good set of stock shocks will be fine.
