What shocks are available for Things that are raised? What have you guys been using? The Thing I’m looking for shocks for is raised about 2”. _________________ My 71 Ghia Been in my family since 1980

Mine has around a 2 in raise. Bilstein no longer makes a shock that will work for a raised Thing front end. I used Bilstein for the rear and KYB gas adjust shocks for the front. The KYB are inexpensive but provide a nice ride. I would have liked Bilsteins on all 4 corners but the KYBs work. |
