You need to do some more research. They are only for slow rock crawling can't really do anything else with them.

How do you figure that? Not really much different than having coilovers.

Well that isnt true at all, being in new mexico you should know that anyways.

they are WAY different than having coilovers.

From my research they are best use on solid axles for rock crawling. I am not sure how I should know that in by living in NM.

work best for, i could go with. but originally you posted ONLY for slow crawling... which i know not to be true because ive personally driven a few and have alot of friends that pound the arroyo's doing 50=80mph with them.

I say because you're in NM because if you are in most of the local wheeling scenes, i would expect that you've see a few buggies running them. What part are you in?

I live in the SE corner of nm. there are no rocks out here mostly desert.

im just looking for good performance on slow trails and possibly a little rocks here and there

you have to tune them just right to get good performance, they have strange handling characteristics... but it feels like you're driving on a cloud.

i dont really need great on road driveablility, im willing to sacrafice that....

seems like its cheeper to go to air shocks then full coilovers

Read this first http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticles/suspension/131_0606_air_shock_technical/index.html

Then do more research. You do not want to use them for a daily driver.

it wont be driven on the street much when and if i was to ever go with some, was just looking for a cheeper way past coilovers....

but i do want to be able to drive too and from a wheeling spot
