I'm building a moderate rig for expedition type stuff. I'm trying to increase how much gear I can carry in the back and was thinking of air shocks. I've been searching around and a lot of people are saying they suck off road and will tear your shock mounts off.
The plan would be to plumb them together with a T and a valve. On road the valve would be closed for less body roll and off road I could open it to allow more articulation. I'm not looking to use these for lift but just put enough air in them to level out the load.
My questions are.
Do they really suck that bad off road and why? I can put up with some suck for the extra capacity.
Has anyone actually destroyed their shock mounts with air shocks? I can't find anyone who has.
Is there a better way for less than $150?
Hope I'm not beating a dead horse but I seem to have found a lot of speculation when searching and not a lot of facts.
Thanks guys
