    D2 SLS +2" rear shocks

    I have been running Terrafirma +2" TF128 shocks on my SLS D2 for the past year. I find the ride noticeably harsher than the soft ride I used to get from my standard height Ironman shock. It jars quite badly on bitumen, even on a slightly uneven surface.
    I have read a number of threads on the subject of shocks for +2" raised SLS, but have yet to find a recommendation for a suitable +2" shock.
    There must be others out there who have stumbled upon a suitable replacement.
    I want my comfortable ride back.

    Thanks Strangy

    Curious if you have extensions on your bump stops or not and what is the part number?

    I am running the newer Old Man Emu nitrocharger sport shocks & find them quite good. I am real happy with them. A lot firmer but good control as well.

    I have the 4x4 intelligence kit which came with the bump stops. (Tombie wasnt making his kit at the time).

    I havn't fitted the extended stops and havn't had any issues without them.

    cheers

    I'm running Koni Heavy Track. Very happy with the ride and so are the passengers.
