brandan Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Ranchos is my first option. Dobinson is the second. Tough dog, is not long lasting and start squeaking in first year. Kings is bit expensive than above two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasim Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Kings I guess the best and it's not that expensive and it's very long lasting. Most of the safari boyz use the king's suspension in their Land Cruiser that get beating on daily basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Dobinsons being an Australian brand I will trust more than UK, Japanese or US brand where offroad is not as serious and rugged as in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanik Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I will also vote for dobinson, used it myself and was very happy with the result and overall firmness until I sold it. Go for it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post futureshock999 Posted January 14, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Totally depends upon the vehicle and usage. For a Wrangler, Kings first, although Radflo is the new hotness. For an FJ, ICON makes the best value pre-tuned multi-shock (2 per wheel) setup, but a case can be made for Kings or Radflo if only using 4 shocks. In any general sense, Kings and Radflos are really designed for high-speed desert racing, Icons a close third, with Fox a bit after them. The OMEs, Ironmans, and the rest are OK, but most don't offer a separate oil/nitrogen charge reservoir, which you want if hitting them hard in the desert at high speed. Nor are they as tunable as Kings, Icons, and Radflos. But let's be clear- you asked about "the best", and that ain't cheap. The best desert shock setups (8 Kings total including 4 multi bypass) will run at least 50,000 AED. Phase I of my FJ ICON setup just cost me 18,000 AED, and to add the Phase II multi bypass front shocks and rear bump stops will cost me another 12,000, at least. And I skipped the high cost options like solid aluminum billet upper control arms and matching lowers...it could have been a lot higher. So, you may want to consider what you mean as "best". And how badly you want it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks futureshock999, for your experience sharing, I really like your word of wisdom a lot "how badly you want it" which is very true and practical. As after seeing suspension mods from 3k -15k I am still confused on what I want it and more than anything I think I dropped the idea inside my heart after seeing big expense for once a month / two month off-road drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayman_khateeb Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I agree with Futureshock in all what he said, very well written. if it is once or twice a month "normal" off-roading, without jumps & hard landings/ditches ... Etc.. then go with the cheap options, ironman, ARB OMEmu, rancho, entry fox.. They all do the job, will be a real improvement over stock always.. Actually it improves on road handling also if you chose the kit to match your style.. Go to radlfo/King/icon if you are serious off-roader & enjoy going crazy 🌹 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARiD Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 These 4 brands are very competitive, we work with Rancho suspension on Jeeps and Trucks and it shows pretty good results while off-roading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
