Left my car with Pedders suspension today and as suspected there is a long list of parts to be replaced, among these shocks and torsion bars.
The best Pedders shocks are 350 a pair and their torsion bars 396 per pair. www.4wd1.com has these options with free delivery:
Rancho RS5000: 260 per pair
Rancho RS9000X: 396 per pair
Tough Dogs: 320 per pair
Rock Crawler torsion bars: 535 per pair
The cost difference between tough dogs / rock crawler and the pedders parts are really quite marginal so I'm thinking to use these "renowned" brands instead.
Any experience with these on the NH? I have "Fireflex" springs at the back which I'm thinking to keep. They have a 50mm lift, so I was thinking the Rockcrawlers would be good as they'd happily let me lift the front up to the same level (it is currently quite saggy despite the bars being turned up to the max).
Will they be painfully stiff or is that just the pedders man trying to talk me into pedders? The pedders torsion bars are apparently 2mm thicker than standard so he reckons they will happily stay above the standard height...
Any opinions would be much appreciated! Also anyone thinking I should go for Rancho's rather than tough dogs (or any other brand for that matter!)
Thanks!
