Rough country all the way mate

[justaddmud]

for some reason when i read the title, i thought it said winch socks

What do you want to do with it when its done?

[ianedwards]

it will probably be used mainly for running about in, odd jobs, fencing, fire wood, lots of field work. that sort of thing,

and will be used for off roading so im after a sort of in-between shock,

rough country is lama 4x4 ?

Yeah llama 4x4, Dave is really helpful

[justaddmud]

I would say, for that type of use, with front and rear winches, you need a procomp 3000 style shock, something that can cope with the weight when needed, but not be too much without

Am sure there is a rough country substitute for that

I also run es 3000 still a very good damper, just profer the rc's most probably exactly the same With a different sticker haha

I've emailed Dave at llama, he messages me back with some advice, im going to ring him this week to clarify a few things. He advised I use +2-3 shocks and extend the shock mounts a bit to get the most out of it.

Will find out more
