Are REMOTE RES shocks REALLY worth it? How much better are they? Suspension options in detail!

We've compared remote reservoir shocks to standard shocks & standard aftermarket shocks to show all the differences in ride, performance, suspension lift, durability and quality! Find out if remote res shocks are the right option for you, and make an informed decision about your 4WDs suspension.

One of my big considerations, and one that wasn't mentioned, was cost.

[intimatespearfisher]

Fox and Radflo have been doing it for years. We're always a bit slow off the mark in Australia. From having a few lift kits, I've found they are all crap unless you get them valved and sprung to the weight of you vehicle and never change the weight. Or make them adjustable. Basically don't waste your money unless they are adjustable.

Remote reservoir shocks are in a similar category to "Race" brakes for a racing car. No one disagrees they are superior in performance, but they really need to be warmed up and used hard to work as intended. If they are stone cold and moving tiny amounts on a highway, the piston isn't travelling enough to cycle the oil through to the remote reservoir. This is why companies like Ironman recommend foam cell or big bore as a more appropriate compromise for 4x4s

I think I’ve decided on some new shocks. Great vid boys

I would love to get those resi shocks they would go so well thanks Shauno

[YessirPauly]

Ive messaged fulcrum about these sets on the np300, cant wait til they got these ready for us. Been following this product since lastyear and its a bloody teaser ahaha love the color aswell itll suit my set up 🙏💯

Im running remote res on the ranger. Nice to have adjustable damping. Got profender. Great value. Good on and off road.

You don’t need adjustable shocks on a road car or 4x4. They are for competition use. The average owner of a tourer isn’t going to understand the complexity of adjusting bump & rebound or spend the time adjusting them every time they go off road. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃

hang hang is this a 4x4 show or spare parts store less and less adventures here thank god graham on point

[jackson]

I’ve been binge watching these and I can’t get enough

[peterkropman]

I’d go aF4r next time. Love the change ability

[bboy]

Love the Fulcrum lift kit for my Pajero Sport with Formula shocks and King springs. Rides so much better day to day, towing the van and offroad.

[OurTone]

That shock dyno has my mind in the gutter😂

[chrisw]

Shauno send me a set of those resi shocks please! 😂

[JordBann]

Always best to get a shock you can tune to what you are using it for.

[MicahBell_]

Okay, so what I have been thinking about lately is shock lengths in relation to flexibility. I bought a 4" suspension lift kit a few years ago. Since I started watching YouTube about a year ago, I keep seeing 3" or 4" springs with 6" to 12" shocks. Apparently for more flex. I would love to see the science, to work out what length shock is best for my 4" springs to increase it's flexibility. My 80 Series is 95.2% shopping trolley, 4.6% tourer & 0.2% extreme rock crawler

[jakesmika]

With the ifs vehicles what diff drop are you guys using?

[stephenhope]

Well, I am not going to get under my FJ every day to adjust the suspension settings. I use Walker-Evans and I figure set it and forget it.

[crispbeecrisbundyrun]

I like the idea of adjustability, but will I actually use it? No, not the reasons for adjustibility, but would I actually go around and make the changes? I am inherently lazy. I do not really change my tyre pressures based on load, I don't change my graphic equaliser based on the music I am playing, I don't change how I salt or sweeten foods or drinks based on taste. I just do what I have always done. So, while I agree, a great idea, I probably would never use. Other than to brag about.
