shock tactics

[r73]

No worries 67Westy - Glad Graham is at the forefront on this subject I'm sure he'll come up with the goods - the fact they are serviceable makes the extra outlay more worthwhile as well. Think i'll prob put the cheap beetle ones for now - still looking into the monroe max airs, they look good but take your point Graham think to make it driveable ie not bottom out, you'd need to max inflate them which would prob lift the front the same if not more than the coil overs. the min pressure ie max drop would prob only be for show???

I have a set of monroe air shocks waiting to go on mine, front end is a narrowed creative weedeater beam with transporterhaus spindles, similar to mychatype3s setup.
Will get pics up when(if?) my wilwood caliper brackets turn up & i can crack on with the install....

cool - would love to know how you get on with them

Using the coilovers from T2D or T Haus lift the bus back up by approx an inch due to the length of the damper body and spring, when I first fitted them I had to jack up the bottom of the damper just to get them to fit (ie they were longer than the suspension at full drop when it was up off the floor)

The units we are working on are from a very well known damper maker in the UK and will be fully serviceable. At the moment I'm running modified bugpack ones that we had some new spring seats and collars made for but the units we are looking at are off the shelf items that we can get have adjustable platforms on them and once we get the spring rates right and height right we will then offer them for sale. Alex at THaus has already expressed an interest!!

I'm not sure the air shocks will work as again these are designed for slammed buses so even though the psi can run up to 200-250psi it will only lift the bus up a few inches from slammed!!, I may be wrong but I just dont think they have enough travel to cater for full suspension movement.

Apologies for the old thread bump, but did you find a solution Graham? oke:

I'm on a tablet so cannot do a really in-depth search, but, do you mean this thread:
