Hi Folks,
As I have reached IM level, I see the need of upgrading my suspension.
Because Pathfinder R51 isn't a popular offroader, not many companies do suspension for R51, hence here are my options:
1. Dobinson twin tube with coils (Highly recommended by a close friend, 2 years warranty)
2. Ironman 40mm foam cell with coils (Popular choice for R51 owners around the globe, 3 years warranty)
3. Tough dog 41mm foam cell with coils (Another popular choice for R51 owners around the globe, looks tougher and provides 4 year unlimited km warranty)
My preference is Ironman>Dobinson>Tough Dog
Ironman ME direct supplies with warranty support, twintube+foamcell supposingly is better than just the twintube Dobinson, and Tough Dog doesnt have direct dealer in ME, warranty support can be compromised.
R51 has less ground clearance, it requires 1.5inch and above lift for desert, For this reason Bilstein isn't an option here as it doesn't provide the longer monotube shock b8 5100 for rear.
Please let me know if anybody has experience with the above 3 products, and additional options are welcomed.
