Haven't been able to find the right info on here so far. My current suspension setup is Ulitimate Suspension coils and struts up front, and EFS 150kg constant load rear leafs and EFS Elite rear shocks. All shocks are a pretty standard size bore.
My rear right shock is leaking a little oil, so it might be time to replace them (not even 3 years/35,000kms old!)
At the time I started out with EFS in the front and rear, there was a "big bore" shock option. My understanding is a big bore shock will hold more oil and therefore dissapate heat and be more durable, especially with corregations.
Daily driving and when I go weekend offroading with the boys I dont tend to load the vehicle up too much. I do tow a 1300kg camper trailer now occasionally, but just for touring/camping. In the future there will be some extended outback driving with the family & camper trailer (ie: corregated roads).
So I'm wondering if a big bore shock would be a better option, or will it reduce my offroad capability with less flex?
What effect will big bore shocks have other than possibly being more robust?
If Big Bore is worth considering, anyone have a suggested brand/model?
The easy option is to install 2 more Aussie Ryder shocks from Ultimate, and then go with their leafs when I need to.
