How about a rebuildable reservoir shock? Be more expensive but you can dial it in.

I was thinking about it, but that's just way too much shock for how I use the truck I think. Mostly street, occasional trails for fun and sand 2-3 times a year. I think the reservoir shocks will be way overkill, which isnt a bad thing, but the large cost bump is steering me away from it if I'm not even gonna use or need the additional volume. I'm already worried going to no-res Fox's may be overkill, I'd love to use it more offorad but I just don't have any local offroad friends to go out with. I'm all for improvements! I just don't want to throw extra money at it for no reason

Your running ord spec custom leafs right? If so spring for the good rebuildable, revalveable shocks, get the most out of the cushy ride.

I snowballed into wanting some King 2.0 adjustable reservoir shocks, and was about to buy them. Unfortunately, build time is 12-16 WEEKS from Down South Motorsports. I wouldn't get them until Oct/Nov, so I am no longer in a hurry to order them. I'll just order them on Black Friday or something, and get them on by next year.

I found a STEAL of a deal on a built Raptor 700 and snagged it. Borrowed a car trailer from a friend and went out to Frontier sand dunes in Florence, OR this weekend (3.5h away). First time towing AND going anywhere near that far with the K5, but she did great! Powered up over the pass (like 5000 feet) and back without breaking a sweat. The whole trip to and from:
-4L80 stayed below 160⁰
-IAT's stayed below 105⁰
-Coolant stayed at 175⁰ and under
-And I didn't even NEED to hit boost to climb. Doesn't mean I didn't though, that blower starts SINGING at 32-3500rpm, even in vacuum



Aired her down to 16psi and was an absolute BEAST in the sand! Very happy with her performance, but I definitely want those King's now. I'm still waiting for the other videos we got to be sent over, I'll drop those when I get them. This was just a test run, the only thing I broke was my rear exhaust brackets! Yes, both of them. Other than that, no complaints. I plan to take it back next month, to UTV Takeover at Winchester Bay!
