80 Liquifire Rear Shock, Coilover?

Post by gradzz »

Has anyone replaced the rear shock in a LF suspension with a coilover style shock for added suspension? Thanks.

Bought one from Image a few years back. Had to shim one end as the bore was larger than the shaft, but otherwise no issues.

Several guys on here have had coil over shocks custom made by Carver Performance.

Busco Bullet stocks the AM55144 standard shock if you want to go that way.
