    I think I see one downfall here, I'm not sure Id like to whack out $800 of my hard earned and still have a chance to dent, or puncture it. Deeming it a throw away item

    I personally will be looking for a twin tubed shock for that price
    Jock, DeCarbons are Monotube, I have had mine on for almost 7 years now, and they feel the same as when I fitted them. As you know they have been used quite extensively, and they are the reason I recommend them to customers so highly. I agree about the damage possibility, but a simple stone shield would be easy to construct. (Some OME shocks have a stone shield optional ,available seperately, and they are twin tube.)


    Don't go for lesser shocks, you will be dissapointed.

    I'll have to save up the pennies a bit more, I was thinking about Boss adjustables at one stage. Do you know anything about them?

    I might have to get my fabricating hat on, and build some guards. I'll be building rear quarter bars to match my side steps so I can head down the West Coast and do some tracks Still not keen on panel damage

    when this question comes up billi's and koni's always win the which is best argument but at the end of the day its if you can justify the extra cost.

    If your planning extensive off road travel or some extreme trips go the billi's or konis but other wise get the cheaper option, at half the price or less you can carry a spare
    Well my billies lasted eight years and did most of Oz so you can buy cheaper if you like but for me I think go for a closed treat tyre,nothing more aggresive than AT's so you don't shower the underside with rocks,some good mudflaps on the front and the problems solved.It won't matter what you buy,in the gibber country if rocks are belting the underside of your vehicle the shocks,as well as your brake lines will suffer.
