and why it would be worth the money to do coilovers instead.

Are the fox 2" ones just way too small for a fullsized truck? Are air shocks in general not good for rockcrawlers? Is there a weight limit?

I'm in the planning stages for the '74 and I think I want to link it instead of going with leaves, I don't want to be in the same situation as last time where I completed the build and it's already way out of date. Also no babies right after I finish it. :flipoff2:

I mentioned them to Kevin as I was interested in them for the back of my rig. He was saying that Ill prob break them with a fullsize. I do see them on lighter rigs all the time. Im sure he will chime in, buts what I have been told about them so far.

2" airshocks are a no go for fullsize rigs, but 2.5" airshocks are no problem, fox has them, swayaway is coming out with them.

Roger that, I found those after I posted this. OK for F & R, or just the rear usually? I tend to see them more in the rear than in the front...
